  • I think it's their target audience. You are not their target audience. They're trying to communicate to seniors who are not active. Would you suggest someone who is 65+ to hit up a gym and start lifting heavy weights? Hell no. Just like I wouldn't suggest someone who is 20 who has been sedentary their entire life to hit up…
  • Nearly every naturally occurring food has potassium in it. However, when you but something that has a nutritional label on it, potassium is usually not included. Therefore, you're eating more potassium than you are recording, unless you cook everything from scratch. ETA: I have problems getting enough calcium and Vitamin…
  • Mississauga. Not exactly close, but closer than most MFP users!
  • If you don't have a medical reason to avoid gluten, don't. It's an atrocious way to waste your money.
  • Buy this book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Gluten-Free-Quintessential-Quinoa-Cookbook/dp/162087699X Seriously. I have this book and I've cooked most of the recipies out of it. Every one of them are super delicious and easy too cook. I mean: Every. Single. One. So yummy. ETA: It also has recipes for different types of flours,…
  • Nom. I'll need one of those (preferably all pink) for my winter commuting. Unfotunately, they do work best will full face helmets. I've read they never quite fit right with a regular cycling helmet. However, a BMX-style helmet might work as well.
  • People have already started threads on how they really liked the old nutritional information page. Also, the verified foods is only useful if they made it so you can filter out all of the garbage, user-submitted entries from the database.
  • How about most apps which are $5-$10 one-time fee for no ads and many premium features! The whole idea of having a subscription is a joke. Obviously Under Armour is just trying to monetize MFP as much as possible.
  • We're not talking about the free version being taken away, but if you have ever used a free site that created a premium version in the past, they always make the free version next to useless over a short period of time, basically forcing people to leave, or pay for the premium version. Oh, and anyone who buys Starbucks…
  • Please don't. Without sugar, that will be one nasty drink.
  • Taco Bell is pretty effective.
  • Haha. This post made my day. So jokes.
  • NO! Just start over again. Pushing yourself to see just how far you can go, if you're already experiencing pain, could injure you in a way that will force you to quit running.
  • You know what helps me achieve my goals? Willpower and determination.
  • Think of it this way: In strength training, unless you're going for hypertrophy (which is an advanced thing to do - not for beginners), the general rule is 48 hours of rest between working the same muscles twice. This is because, when you do strength training, you are actually creating microscopic tears in your muscles -…
  • See my previous post. You're over-doing it. The program was created with 3x/day for a reason. You will NOT get better at running faster by doing more. You will do the opposite. If you want to do more exercise, then don't run. Do something else.
  • You say you have good endurance: Did you used to run before you started the C25K? If not, suck it up and do the program the way it was originally designed. The reasoning is not because of cardiovascular ability, but muscular-skeletal ability. Running leads to injury, unless you take it super, super slow. Cardiovascular…
  • The only reason why I'm still here are because of the awesome people on my FL. I'm worried that they will do what all "once upon a time, everything was free" apps and do the latter.
  • This is, by far, the most widely used website and app that has the most amateur feel to it. It's seriously like a bunch of college kids made it and have been running it. It's constantly "down for maintenance" is not very well laid out, making it difficult to navigate at times. Seriously, that menu at the top is absolutely…
  • Sweetness. This is one of the first things I'l be buying for my bike.
  • Interesting input all. Thank you.
  • I had a Galaxy S2 and it was crap. I was happy to get rid of it and switch to my HTC.
  • Pikes Roast, black. 0 calories.
  • bump
  • I'd get free drinks.
  • Shaker weight:
  • I was worried he would have crushed his windpipe! [/quote] It looks like the bar slipped down his body before he hit the ground. Looks like it hit his lower ribs or gut. Either way. OUCH!
  • I think they were too busy cringing from the fall. However, I'm sure that immediately after he had gone down they jumped to his rescue. They were both too far away to be able to prevent anything from happening. I'm just glad the guy got his feet out from underneath himself. He probably broke some ribs, but at least he…
