I got 2 achievements for 75 gs yesterday. 1 point for me. Ill post a picture today as well. I don't really have a goal I'm aiming for I'm just doing this for fun. I hit the gym 4 times a week with high volume lifting and I do my cardio after my workout.

I popped 2 today for 70 GS, Yay points! My goal will be to lose 20 lb. There will be no photo of my fatness.
Got 3 for 40GS today, will get more tomorrow.

That was one heck of a workout.
I'm officially on the board. Just taking a. Quick break to post.. Well back to it!
Hey guys, I am back from a helluva horrible weekend. Happy Memorial Day guys - one more day to get week one goals finished!

I think I still have only 10gs, so tomorrow might be my catch-up day. Good news is I am down t0 175 lbs for the last 2 days. Bad news is why I got there. (More on that later.)

Keep up the good work guys!

Chris? You scary man, with that Miley Cyrus tongue thing? Scary man, scary...
Hey guys, I am back from a helluva horrible weekend. Happy Memorial Day guys

As a vet, I see these holidays maybe a bit different than others, and as a student of the world, I add that although they are American holidays, I believe that we can remember all global lives lost in conflict on Memorial Day and all veterans of any army on Veteran's Day (to some extent - I'm not going to celebrate the bad guys!)

Anyways, Happy Labor Day to all of the hard workers out there and their contibutions to society.

"Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday of May. It was formerly known as Decoration Day and commemorates all men and women, who have died in military service for the United States."

I'm perfectly aware of the difference between Veteran's Day (I'll say thanks to you) and Memorial Day (I'll visit my grandfather's grave). You can't die in military service without being a veteran. Just yesterday my wife was complaining about the people posting on Facebook thanking the fallen for the day off. Without having any facts other than my anecdotal evidence, I'm going to say most Americans have no idea why they get a long weekend at the beginning & end of summer, they just know to thank Vets whenever. Thus I was making a comparison between the summer bookend holidays.

In light of the holidays and your service to my country I am going to withhold my remarks about your student of the world paragraph. Happy Labor Day! :cheers:
I was able to add another 50 GS to my total today, which brings me over 100!
