Can Negative Thinking Make You Sick?
Title from the article: http://news.health.com/2015/06/26/can-negative-thinking-make-you-sick/ I've always thought that this is one of those things that everyone knows, or was aware of in some aspect or another. I'm generally a very upbeat and optimistic person, but I'm around people all day who are not. I'm also aware…

There’s a device that drains food out of your stomach — and the FDA approved it
I'm not struggling with obesity, but I saw this and am genuinely interested in opinions here. It seems the potential for abuse here is huge. Then again...there could be benefits for people who seem to be unable to lose weight based on other medical factors? What do you think?…

Looking for advice on possible staff infection complications please
Hi folks, Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I wasn't sure where.... About 8 months ago I had a staff infection crop up, left arm, elbow to wrist. 1.5 months of Ciprofloxacin and the swelling went down (That stuff is worse than the bloody infection) but I still have what feels like "dead" spots and tightness around the…

Maybe this will motivate some of you.
I'm putting this out to the community at large, because it's something I think needs to be said. I haven't been posting here for any length of time like some of you have, but I seem to see an awful lot of sound advice being rejected out of hand. That's fine. We're all adults and have that option But I would like to ask the…

Introspection - do you do it?
I get slightly moody at times, and often get very introspective. If I'm honest with myself, it can yield a tidbit or two I can act on, and hopefully deal with some of my own quirks. Lord knows I have enough of them. I was just wondering how others approach it.

Post videos of what you love (Family safe!) :)
Search didn't turn up a dedicated thread for this, and with all the varied interests on the forum here I thought it might be fun, assuming content is kept with forum rules that is :p So let's see some videos... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLVXDz9Fg0I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6mPnvrBYrE One more, this is…

Strength or body weight training for calisthenics? Both?
Hi, My workout is a little of both at the moment, quite frankly it's more all over the place. About an even split between the two. I stumbled across this video of Frank Medrano, and the combination of strength and coordination is incredible. Taking my age into account (57) I would like to at least work towards that. As it…

Do I need a reality check?
I'm very aware things change over the years, like the time it takes for my muscles to recover, my bald spot getting larger lol, but here's the deal. I'm 57, and do not consider that "Old" at all. I feel 10 years younger. My primary goal for fitness is flexibility, endurance and overall strength, but here's the problem -…

Describe yourself in 3 words or less :)
I used search and couldn't find one, surprisingly, and there's at least 482 threads for describing others in various ways lol. Simple: 3 words or less description of yourself. The next poster calls bs or not. Hopefully a little fun, and I'll start. Me - Very old fashioned

Form, function and frequency
I've been lurking here for a while and read a lot of the great information available. I'm hoping someone (or several someones lol) who are in my age group and have similar goals could share their experiences. I am also wide open to advice from anyone. First though: -57 yo -176-178 lbs -5'9" -BMI 26.3 I'd like to shrink my…

My program is falling apart
Hi folks - out of lurking into posting-in short, I feel like I fell apart and can't seem to gain traction again. I've lost just under 14lbs, which about met my goal of 176, but suddenly I feel like everything has gone awry, for a week or so, maybe a bit more. My diet wasn't anything special - reasonable portions of red…

Hello
I've been using mfp for about two months now, and have taken to visiting the community to browse lately, thought I'd say hi. So...Hi :) I'm 57, and needed to lose 20lbs. 190 to 170 is my goal, and I've lost ( good riddance) 12lbs so far, but the last 8 are going to be stubborn. I see a lot of folks are fans of keto here.…
