    Oh, that's really cool, Sleepy, I would love to have you as my tutor !!! (The tutorial I have to take this semester is an awful waste of time, mainly because of the tutor ).
    I hope I'll be able to do this better once I'm advanced enough for the professors to let me do it .

    Er...umm...I've managed to keep my head above the water so far this semester? (Though the waves keep threatening to change that with each class I attend...)

    I like this thread...it makes me smile

    I think we students should start a "survived-the-semestre"-party ! I'm with you, in any case

    OK here's my boast. I've been going to the gym three times per week for six weeks straight. Excercising for almost an hour each time. Doing cardio and some strength and stomach workouts. And since I was diagnosed with fatty liver, I've been eating smaller portions, minimizing alcohol and very few snacks. In six weeks I've lost 3 and a half pounds (1.6 kg). And I know it's even better than that. I've put on a bit of muscle, and muscle weighs like twice as much as fat. So not only have I lost weight, I've lost quite a bit of fat and replaced it with muscle. I can feel my pants are loose again!

    Very good!! It's not easy to lose weight. Sugared drinks are bad for you. I read in a Nutrition newsletter than one should make it a rule not to absorb any calories from fluids. I guess that means water or diet drinks. (I do drink juice though.) We get enough from food.

    I think you're confusing me with someone else. I've never gone swimming regularly. Perhaps i meant i would like to? The gym I just joined does have a pool, but I have not gone to it yet. I do intend to though, perhaps start shortly by adding a fourth day of exercise.

    I talk about it on the chocolate lovers thread, here: http://www.online-literature.com/for...ight=chocolate, starting on post #52 and going for a page or so.

    It's true, they are really bad for you. I was drinking diet soda (haven't drank regular since I was a kid) but all the sodium was what was really hurting me.

    Wow ! Congratulations, Virgil !!!
    I read that post of yours this morning and told my mother (who's also trying to lose weight) that I knew someone who'd lost 1,6 kg in six weeks through excercising (and NOT by trying to live on, say, cabbage only...). She said she'll now take you as a model .

    You don't get more than 95% marks in your every monthly test.

    And for those who have lost some weight (the weight they wanted to lose), congratulations! I, on the other hand, am looking forward to gain some more weight. I hope I succeed, but I just can't bring myself to eat energetic things. It's just the junk food which I mostly eat.

    Thanks. But I must admit that my body has always reacted well to exercise. I don't know why, but I tend to get in shape faster than most. But I'm not there yet. I've been bad for around two years now, food, wine and couch potato, and it will probably require a full year to be where i want. I must say, I love going to the gym. In the past I've always exercised on my own with running and light weights i have at home. But having to go to a real gym that is only about a kilometer from home is great. I look forward to it. As to Ironman, FORGETABOUTIT, as we say in Brooklyn.

    Good luck to your mom.

    Um, my NJROTC unit is the State Champion, and we're 4th in the nation as of last year?

    I can do 176 pushups in two minutes?
