  1. Because there are so many fat people across the differing demographics, locations, and ethnic groups. As well as historical precedent that obese people have grown with us over the millennia and it's not a recent event tied almost exclusively to diet and lifestyle...
  2. We were at the cousins for easter Sunday. Lots of little kids running around. Wife's little niece comes tearing through the garage with a face covered in chocolate screaming at the top of her lungs....I just shook my head and didn't say a damn thing, but the parents already have their hands full with that one. You'd have thought the damn house was on fire. You never see her anymore without some kind of candy in her hand. They're kinds, I get it, but moderation has to come in at some point.
  3. Yep. Just eat "food" - nothing prepared or processed. Wanna snack, eat a banana. I do cheat with cheese and I'm by no means militant about it, but it does simplify things.
  4. Parking garages are the best. Straight steady incline up/down, and you can take the stairs if you're feeling a little froggy.
  5. Baby backpack for the win. Wife will love you getting the little one out of the house and you get the exercise. Win-win!
  6. There are few secrets to losing weight, but if there was, rucking might be up there. Walk the dog with a little weight vest or backpack up. It compounds everything. You can take shorter walks and still get a hell of a workout. I now have to rucks in the back of the truck. My big one is 50lbs, and I have a smaller 35lb'er if I'm not feeling great or the distance will be quite long. It will kick your ass at first, but you adapt quicker than most any other exercise as the entire body has to get it's shit together to stabilize the weight.
  7. All calories are not equal either. There are a number of ways to track these, but to keep it simple just eat whole foods. Nothing processed. Water, black coffee, basic tea without sweeteners. Proteins such as eggs, beef, chicken, fish. Use salt/pepper and whole butter. Vegetables and fruits. The "potato hack" is kind of cool if you crave carbs. Boil potatoes, then let them cool down and the carbs turn into insoluble starches/fiber. Think potato salad. It's glycemic index becomes effectively zero. You can reheat, broil or bake them, etc.
  8. You gotta' get better the same way you got sick. You made incremental, consistent choices over time to gain weight, you have to do the same to lose it. Daily movement, track your calories, and learn more about the ingredients in all the stuff that you eat. For me, it's a high protein, low carb diet. Lots or water. Daily movement + makeshift home gym. If you're working out, avoid isolation exercises. Focus on compound movements that engage multiple muscles. These can be bodyweight stuff, like pushups, pullups, body-weight squats. I have a cheat band on the pullup bar because pullups kick my ass.
  9. For sure. We moved in back in '04, so I do have 20 years of experience. For many it was proximity to so many large corporate headquarters (Countrywide, JCP, Frito Lay, etc.) and the ability to get in on fairly new housing developments. We were in Lone Star initially (west side of Frisco) and then moved into PCR. Same reasons, new development, builders giving away the farm on new builds. We moved less than a mile but needed the space with two kids so we upgraded. Frisco caps all it's HS's @ 5A, so there are 12 of them and two more in the works. Smaller schools with a stellar reputation for the most part as a district. I have a good neighbor who is Indian that I corrupting over time. He was a truck now, albeit 4x2....pusssssyyyyy.....;) From his stories so many Indian/Asian families move in and bring their extended families. Then friends of friends follow. If I was doing the same, it makes perfect sense. Apparently, an Indian Guru also blessed the city, paving a path for many families from India who see this as a good omen. Massive temple off Eldorado, etc. We're blessed bitches! The ONLY bad thing is my daughter struggles to be in the top 10 %, but then again, push yourself little goblin. Shit isn't supposed to be easy.
  10. I wonder if this dog & pony show is to try and get a change of venue? If so, where would they switch to?
  11. Sadly, my guess is most of that money is going to be sucked dry by this grifting "PR" firm. The newest talking point from this "representative" is that Frisco should have cancelled the meet because it was rainy and overcast.....and somehow that is problematic? I don't quite even follow the point, but somehow the meet should have been cancelled which would have prevented everyone from being there, and thus no confrontation, and no stabby-stabby? It hurts my brain to even type this out, trying to explain what I think he's saying.
  12. There's merch now. "Free Karmelo" shirts, etc.
  13. Grift knows no racial, ethnic, or economic boundaries unfortunately. He's going to suck these poor parents dry, Karmelo is going to get basically the same sentencing he would otherwise, and this jackass is on to the next victim
  14. Am I a lawyer? I don't feel like a lawyer?
  15. No man, he's just asking questions. Well, that's kind of fucking depressing. I don't want my attorney bitching and moaning on a chatroom all damn day.....;)
  16. Yep, the ones g-father wore were paper thin. Thrift shops often have a decent selection as well. Picked up a bunch back in the day. To quote the great Jason Boland: Cheap bourbon whiskey and pearl-snap shirts Are two things that stay the same So when the world starts spinnin' and your head hurts There's a cheap bourbon whiskey and pearl-snap shirt
  17. I'd assume all cell phones were taken/scrubbed as evidence?
