Guys thanks for the advice... It is very helpful for me. You know people always tell me that I am a natural leader, and yet I never believe it until things like this happen. It boggles my mind in fact to tell ya the truth because (honestly) I see myself as an eternal beginner and have much less confidence inside of me than Iapparently project.
Roland you are right about my log. I look at it like a place where I can just say whatever I want to because it is MY BLOG and that is where people talk out of their asses.
But you are right that there have been many instances where people have decided to do what I do. I am pretty sure that I have always told them though that it might not work for them. I will make sure in the future to do that if I haven't in the past. I am not really sure what esle to do about that. When somenone makes good progress there will be people looking to copy exactly with the hopes.... I am posting in my log to help people see that these sorts of changes are really possible with enough focus and hard work and honestly I feel like anyone can do what I do if they could be as consistent. That is the trick and the secret to all the progress. I am deadly consistent in my diet and workouts. I realize that most people do not have the ability to invest that much time into their own plan though so they have to find what works for them. I always support that to the extent that I can. Of course it is fun to have some of the banter and all that other stuff in there but my hope is that my BLOG is an inspiration to people more than anything.
RE the avitar. Great observation Nick. I never thought of it at all like that but I think you have something there. I'll see what I can do about coming up with something different but to be fair, you need to change yours because I am pretty sure that you are misleading me with that hot chicka pic! LOL!
Actually I want to also change my "senior member" status. I have been wanting to do that for awhile but haven't seen where that option is. Can someone walk me through that? Finally I will add a disclaimer to my posts as well (via a signature) so that people know that I am a newbie rather than a senior member since it will most probably be the case that I won't be able to change very quickly or entirely my way of communicating.
Again much appreciation for bringing this out and working with me to make it better for everyone. Please feel free to PM me or nudge me otherwise when you see infractions in the future so that I can fix it.
