I dig it. I find having my arms at my side instead of in front really keeps my form in check.

Log your food in MFP, and your exercise on the Fitbit dashboard. That will prevent any double counting of either, while making sure the necessary data gets to each app.

I think I speak for about 99% of gym-goers when I say the only time anyone is going to pay ANY attention to you is when you're using a machine they want to use.

None of this crap works. Until they put hard work and dedication in pill form, you'll just have to do it the old-fashioned way.

Pure cyanide is pretty bad for you.

I'm glad to see all the positive responses here. My experience has been, well, less so. Been divorced a little more than 4 years after I caught my ex cheating, I'm still picking up the pieces mentally and emotionally...haven't dated much, finances are still shot to hell, etc. Am I happier than I would have been with her?…

These people who checked your form...were they trainers? Or just lifting/workout buddies? If it's the latter, they may have told you your form was fine because they don't know any better.

Fat burner type pills aren't going to replace nutrients you'd get from eating veggies. As another poster said, they're mainly stimulants. Now, that being said, you're telling us you don't like ANY vegetables? I can understand when someone says "I don't like broccoli" or "Spinach isn't my thing" but saying you don't like…

It's not impossible, but it's not really feasible, for reasons others have stated. Focus on losing 2 lbs a week, but also be sure to incorporate exercises that will preserve your muscle mass. Namely weights, weights, and more weights! (Or, if you don't have gym access, at the very least do bodyweight exercises like…

WORST. ADVICE. EVER. Packing up the kid in violation of a court order is a good way to pick up a kidnapping charge. Even if the ex is unstable, if the court says he has to be notified/give approval, then he HAS to be notified and give his approval. By all means, move, but lawyer up and do it the right way.

Yogurt. Any yogurt. Greek or otherwise. I just can't get past the "tang" of it...just doesn't work for me. Yet, oddly enough, I like sour cream. I think I might be weird. Mushrooms and olives are a no-go; same with cauliflower. Other than that I'm pretty okay with most vegetables.

Giving them access to the forums is probably not a great idea. (Think about all those HCG diet posts in the last year...now picture a 14-year old, weight-conscious girl reading those posts. Hellooo, anorexia!) I must confess a little annoyance at everyone saying "oh, don't get your kids involved in counting calories,…

Of course not. The friendzone is not just a matter of "Oh, I'm not interested, sorry." It's more a matter of "I'm not interested but I'm going to let you continue to dote upon me while you labor under the delusion that if you just make the right kind gesture it would spark my interest after all."

Maybe you have a psychological issue, or maybe you're just making excuses. I'm not saying it's one or the other, I'm just saying you need to take a really deep look at the problem to determine how best to tackle it. Bottom line is, for optimal health you're going to have to eat vegetables/fruits even if you don't…

That's not necessarily true...high sodium over time can lead to high blood pressure, even if you don't have it to begin with. See #6. http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/GettingHealthy/NutritionCenter/HealthyDietGoals/7-Salty-Myths-BUSTED-Infographic_UCM_456341_SubHomePage.jsp

Bwahahahahahaha. If you were allergic to salt you'd be dead. Salt is an essential chemical in the body. Obvious spammer is obvious.

It's probably more the convenience factor than anything else. Is a banana going to get me my entire potassium requirement for the day? No. But I can peel and eat a banana while I'm working. I can't exactly cook up a batch of potatoes at my desk.

I'm all over the fine print on this one. (Wish I had been before I signed...sigh.) There's no renewal of the yearly commitment, though I do have to cancel in person (I bet that'll be fun) or by certified mail by a certain date to avoid being billed for an extra month.

The lunk alarm goes off frequently at mine. At some point, someone's going to get injured when it goes off and startles them mid-lift.

I have kind of a random work schedule, so I signed up at PF because they're 24 hours. Terrible mistake. With just a few months of consistent lifting I need larger dumbbells than they offer. Unfortunately, their ads that say "no contract" are kind of misleading. If you get the Black Card, you're locked in for a year. So now…

Recognize the fact that eating chocolate and drinking wine (in excess, of course) will only add to your problems in the end. Once you understand that fact, you'll be on your way.

Or you could just buy some gloves and not worry about it. Personally, the improved grip allows me to lift more, so I really don't care if strangers at the gym think I'm weak for wearing them. It's my workout and my hands, not theirs, so they can piss off.

Except for the actual getting out of bed part, I much prefer morning workouts. I have no idea if it's more effective in terms of metabolism, calorie burn, etc. No, I like the mornings better because there are simply fewer people around, and those who ARE there are serious about their workout. Nobody's taking up a machine…

I like my Force but I'm not sure it'll be any less easy to lose than the clip models. The fastener on the wristband is really tricky to close properly, and there have been multiple times where I thought I had it fastened only to discover that the Force had popped off my wrist while putting a shirt on.

This will sound harsh, but life isn't fair. The sooner you learn to accept that fact, the sooner you can learn to enjoy the good moments in life.

I use the Active.com Couch-to-5k app. It has the GPS feature but you don't have to use it; works just fine on the treadmill and gives audio cues for run/walk.

Curvy looks like this ) . ( Fat looks like this ( . ) I'd say you definitely fall into the curvy category.
