That's cool Mono, I've been doing kind of the same thing as far as arm muscles are concerned. I can do pushups now, and I haven't been able to do them ever.. so it's a cool change to have that kind of arm strength.
I've been going Monday to Friday for about 80 mins like I said. I basically eat whatever my mom cooks but I've eaten much smaller portions compared to what I used to, and I use the little plates instead of the big plate. :/
So Taucer, you say intensity doesn't matter? That's good to know, because I've really been running myself ragged on the excersize bike at level 10 with an RPM of 85+ for 40 minutes. X_X
As for genetics, my whole family and extended family is obese except for my sister, who is dangerously anorexic and can't gain weight. Weird that we couldn't have some kind of middle-ground.
