"Yooper" is a term made up for those of us that are nuts enough to live in the U.P. (Upper Peninsula) of Michigan. :) But thanks for trying! I'm guessing at this point that the post is lost. Too bad. It had a lot of parts that I could have used, including some exclusive to the...

Unfortunately, that method only works for ads you've posted yourself.

Yeah, tried that. Couldn't find anything. This is the only scrap of the ad I could get from simply googling the address for the original ad: "For sale, parts vehicle only. Willing to sell whole or part out. This is a 2003 Grand Cherokee Overland model. The back half of the unibody"

I know, I know... This seems rather trivial. But I recently purchased an older Jeep Cherokee and the next day went to send a message to a guy that had one available for parts that I had seen the week before. Unfortunately for me, the post had just expired and I've been unable to figure out a...

Been pretty busy with work (60-90 hours/week) and have barely had any time or energy to hit the gym. But I've managed at least one workout a week just to maintain. Down to 209 lbs. Hopefully by October my schedule will slow down and I can get back to 3 days a week.

June update. Down to 212 lbs. Still trying to work out three days a week, but occasionally I can only squeeze in two due to my work schedule. I'm giving my knee one more week to heal up and then I'm going to add squats, leg lifts and calf raises back in and see how it does. If my knee still...

Time for my beginning of May update. I am still lifting three times a week, but cardio has been sporadic. I am doing 10 minutes on the treadmill at a fast walking pace as a warmup and have started doing 10 minutes of elliptical at a moderate resistance setting as a cool down afterwards. I...

Damn... That's quite an accomplishment. You must have been lifting for a number of years now to have that low of BF at 225 lbs. I doubt that's even attainable for me at this point in my life. Thanks for the encouragement!

Oh, I am definitely going to attempt to keep working out through the summer. I'm just not looking forward to having to get up at 4:00 AM to do it. :P I keep my gym bag on the passenger's seat in my car. I joined a gym that is between my home and my office so that I would have to drive past...

A good suggestion, but I doubt I could fit it into my schedule. I am a construction inspector and generally work 60-70 hours a week during late spring, summer, fall and early winter. Basically, all the prime times for runs. And my off hours during this time are generally filled with catching...

Yeah, I know I wasn't actually anywhere near being truly obese. I just used it as the final straw to push me back into the gym and start eating healthy again. I'd been unhappy with my weight for awhile and needed that extra little prod to actually get started. And my weight has finally...

Well, I've added two sets of tricep extensions and ab machine/weighted crunches to my routine as it seemed those were two areas that were lacking. And I finished my first five week round of AllPro's workout! I was able to bump up my squat, bench, curls, RDL and calf raises by 10% for the next...

I was going to give an update next week, but I guess I'll do it now. :) So far, doing pretty good. I've been sticking with my M-W-F workouts and only missed one so far due to training for work. I've slightly increased my calorie intake to around 1400-1600 calories a day to help account for...

I have a hard time believing that it's possible to eat healthy and somehow drop 40 lbs in 6 weeks. That over 6.5 lbs/week. I've been on 1200-1400 calories/day for two months now and have lost 20 lbs. That's 2.5 lbs/week which is still considered on the high side for weight loss. Since...

That's pretty much what I'm going to have to do, I think. I added a scoop of unflavored protein powder to some whole grain oatmeal this morning. That was good for 30g of protein. My lunch usually consists of a microwave frozen meal (20-25g). And dinner will be some sort of fish/chicken for...
