  1. Although I love the NFL, college football is where it's at! I go to WVU and you can't experience anything until you go to one of there games! But for away games my roomates and I got a 57in HD TV.. college is awesome.
  2. I use to be in great aerobic shape, running 8 miles with out a problem, now since I added 20 pounds of fat I get lower back pain when I run and only do about two miles at a time. I also live in a hilly area which is great for my thighs and calves but can be very tiresome to run long distances. I'm just trying to gain back some of my aerobic strength and take off some weight quickly. I in no way am planning to stay on this low carb diet. Once school begins I have access to the indoor track and extensive gym. I will also be living in a apartment not having to rely on crappy cafateria food.
  3. yes he did, but it was claimed unrelated to his diet or something I believe.
  4. Yeah Atkin's claims its healthy.. but I'm only doing this for short term to drop some fast weight before school, and I'm looking into the south beach diet once I get to school.
  5. Well I decided to stop taking stacker 2's (I only bought a box of 20), I'm at work now though and really hungry. I already started eating my lunch at like 10:30.. All I have for lunch is a romain salad with a cut up grilled chicken filet with italian dressing. I just dip my fork in the dressing for the taste and then eat the salad that way (trick I learned in wrestling). That and a plout (the best fruit ever) it's a cross between a plum and an avicado. For dinner most likely I'll have pickle spears wrapped with cold cuts, and some hard cheese. This is pretty much my new eating lifestyle, that and I have a Herbalife shake for breakfast (13 carbs), along with my multivitamins through out the day. Now for you diet freaks is kitosis a bad thing or is it healthy to just burn off the carbs stored in your bodys fat? So far the weight is pretty much pouring off but of course I feel a bit sluggish... with little carbs who wouldn't?
  6. Thanks for some of the tips, I drink plenty of ice cold water and I knew about the celery(although not one of my favorite vegitables). I wreslted 171 up until my senior year when I wrestled 189. I was just to big to wrestle 171 any more. Currently I weigh 210 and want to drop back down to about 190.
  7. I'm not using these pills in replace of healthy dieting, but the actual suppresing of hunger is my biggest foe. Through high school when I wrestled I could control the urges not to eat. (image and pressure of being a team captain...are pretty strong forces) All these healthy eating habbits went out the window though come college. For the first time these pills as of now seem to be filling that hunger gap when I eat light (placebo effect or not). I'm doing a high protien low carb diet and so far all is going well and the weight is pretty much melting off. I would like to ween off these when the actual hunger urge subsides, so I was wondering if there was truely any health risks by taking these. As I mentioned earlier I had two side effects, one was losing focus the other was my eye twitch which can be related to caffine (mainly what these pills are).
  8. Yeah I guess, but I was just wondering muege since your in a md program will this be harmful in anyway? I know it's just mainly a caffine boost that I can find in a variety of tea's (yerba mate alone is so expensive), but if taken properly, even if its a psychological thing, will this be harmful?
  9. I'm not sure if your aware of Stacker 2's but this is all it contains. Amount Per Serving <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> Proprietary Blend 198mg* Kola Nut (seeds)(3mg caffeine group alkaloids), Yerba Mate (leaves), Cassia Mimosoides Extract (leaves/stems/pods), White Willow Bark Caffeine (anhydrous) 200mg* Tri-GuggLyptoid3 Complex 25mg* Green Tea (leaves)(< 1 mg caffeine group alkaloids), Guggulsterone (whole plant), Gymnema (Leaves) * Daily value not established Other Ingredients: Dextrose, Gelatin, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Red #3, FD&C Yellow #6 Nothing out of the ordinary, I just want some feedback from people who have taken them or similar products.
  10. Alright I started taking ephedra free stacker 2's, and all seems to be going well although I seem to be having like lack of focus, and I got a twich in my eyelid (could be completely unrelated, I had a banana mixed into my breakfast shake to help stop it.. seems fine now). I nor my family has any real health related issues, I'm just trying to help drop that college weight I packed on the last year. I'm currently trying to become more active (I was a wrestler/football player in high school) and am runnning two miles atleast three times a week. Anyone have any experience with them or related dietary supplements. I'm dropping weight rather quickly, I know the ins and out being a former high school wrestler and all I just want to hear your experiences and if I should be concerned with these two side effects I had.
  11. Virginia Tech is an awesome school for engineering, it's in the beautiful town of blacksburg and has one hell of a football team, most students are down to earth and the college experience there is top notch. Also engineering is a good foundation for law school, becoming a patent lawyer can earn you some big bucks!
  12. I'm looking to buy OmniMount Sat 2 stands, is this a pair or just for one?

    Cheap Ram?

    yeah.. but pc3200 is really pricey notebook ram, still no luck!
  14. One of my favorite quotes is from when Lance Armstrong had a cameo in the movie Dodgeball: "Quit? You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals?" and then he goes and wins it twice more!
  15. Not sure this is the case, but my friends Range Rover constantly was over heating.. he did everything imaginable to find out what was causing this, quite the handyman for a spoiled 19 yr old, he came to find out he had a small crack in the engine block which was causing the over heating. Hope this is not the case but if nothing else seems to work for you might want to check that out.
  16. did anyone snag these or contact the seller? the pictures looked nice.
  17. by chance did you post this in the wrong thread?
