If I want to open up geek squad plumbing there is nothing they can do about it.

Not true. They can sue you, even if they have a strong belief that they will lose.

You can be sued for any reason, by anyone. And in many cases, he with the most money, wins.

Look at RIAA, SCO, ORACLE, various patent trolls, etc.

If I followed the 3 second rule, I would never get where I was going on the freeway. At 60mph, 3 seconds is 264ft. Do you know that even semi-trucks are going to fill that hole. Then I have to drop back to 264ft behind them. And then more more vehicles will fill that. Pretty soon even the white hairs, are looking at me funny, as they pull in front of me. Next thing you know, I'm driving in reverse.

Lost 3 pounds.

That's only net weight change. How much FAT did you loose?

Since you don't know that (most likely), tell us how far you biked in 2 hours when you started, and how far you biked in 2 hours when you ended. Or the circumference of your waist. Or your thighs.

I'm going to guess, one or more of those are not the same amount.

And if they are, then you weren't really exercising. Aerobic exercising is raising your heart rate to 80-90% of your maximum for 30 minutes. And if you do that, you will change your body for the better.

Net weight change is the worst number to pay attention to.

I've recently resumed my exercise program, after way to long off of it. In the last four months, I've gained 5 pounds, since I've not changed my diet.

But since I've lost 2-3 inches from my waist, tripled the number of pushups, situps and squats, and increased the weight on all my other exercises, I'm not really worried about the weight gain. For me, the major number I pay attention to is my waist size. It's going down, so mission accomplished.
