''When you want to be successful as bad as you want to breathe then you will be successful. Most of you don't want it bad, you just kind of want it. You don't want it as much as you want to party. You don't want it as much as you want to be cool. Most of you don't want success as much as you...

@Tosh: I hear that. Meal planning/prep is probably the largest time-consuming activity out of all other fitness-related activities. @Dembadon: Isn't it amazing how people are so quick to tell you how to do something? Anyone who has been into fitness for a longer period of time will tell you...

I hope/wish! I currently have two jobs, one as a property manager that I do on Saturdays and the other as operations manager for a company M-F. I'm married and my wife stays at home with the kids, so income is pretty important. Are there jobs that I could reasonably have a chance at that would...

That's one of (if not the biggest) the benefits of beginning to exercise. You more closely pay attention to what's going in your body and are more conscious of what food really gives you (like macros, vitamins, minerals). You also become much more in tune with what is going on with your body and...

Way to freaking go, man! That's what I'm saying. Lifting weights and whatnot might not be for everyone, but I think it would probably help more people than realize it and in more ways than they realize. I guess you could almost compare it to meditation in that it is agreed that it is good for...

The bodybuilding/physique competition lifestyle is pretty interesting. As are the people that do it. I know that it seems like a lot of science/math minded people don't get that into it, but I think we can all agree that being comfortable in your own skin is something that goes a long way in the...

Lol, no. I lack the cockiness or the evidence to make a claim like that. I'm like Greg, thin but athletic. I'm not a "meathead" by any standards, haha. I do have ambitions to become somewhat larger than I currently am, though. I was wondering if there were others hanging around PF that are into...

By that I mean, are there any weight-lifters on PF? Women/men, squats/curls, anyone pretty into exercise and nutrition?

I guess I've made up my mind, but I guess I wanted reassurance that I am doing the right thing. I listen to experience because with it comes wisdom. There's a lot more experience in these forums than I have personally. If I am going to do the Engineering MS should I finish my BS in physics...

Hello, PFers! I have 35.5 credits remaining to complete my physics BS. Of those, only 14.5 actually need be physics courses. However, I know that the BS doesn't do much right now and have been planning to go to grad school following completion of my undergrad work. I was looking to remain at my...

Ah, I see. Unfortunately, the only available program is your ol' Applied Physics MS, but I think that would be ok going into industry/private sector. I definitely have marketable skills, I just want to improve my chances at getting a job that I enjoy. I think that I'm settling on the MS. I don't...

Yes, I looked into it pretty well. I didn't like some of what I saw, and I wouldn't want to work in a medical environment. It's not for everyone. Awfully speculative of you, haha. I'm not some impatient youth that thinks like that. I've considered sales, but wouldn't take anything that only...

Actually, apparently I left out a sentence. I enjoy physics most of all, but I am just getting a little concerned about the job market with just a BS. If I was going to stay in school any longer I would prefer to get a higher degree in physics so that the chance would be greater that I could...

Hey everyone, I was hoping to get some general career advice. I am currently working on my Physics BS and am almost done with all of the physics requirements. However, since I was a transfer student I have been able to take a lot of courses in fields I also enjoy. I'll end up graduating with the...

Hello all, I am looking to transfer to CA next school year to finish my Physics BSc at a school that has a stronger program than my current university, which will better prep me for grad school. I am coming from out of state, so it actually seems like private universities could cost me less...
