Water purification through natural water source?
I taken up hiking and was looking around for hydration solutions. While it's great to have a camelbak or tons of water bottles, has anyone ever used water bottles with the filtration attached to the cap? Or the water tablets?

Do you still feel "fat" mentally after a lot of weight loss?
I still feel ridiculously fat, although I'm down 35lbs. I still have work to do and just about at the halfway mark. When I look in the mirror I feel that it's not me and I didn't lose anything.

Not working out = feeling lazy and tired?

NSV - No more chafing!
I been running for almost a year now and when I first started I would always choose specific boxers to use and putting vaseline in my inner thighs.

Are fat people more ticklish?
Random question but what do you guys think? I read its more about the nerves and the way a person would react to being tickled. But if you're fat that means you have more surface area to be tickle right?

Runners : Best gps watch to track miles? $100-$200
