I'm not sure if this is the right section for this. Has anyone tried either of these blenders? I've heard lots about them, but have not seen an infomercial/commercial about them. What are some pros and cons of either or both? Thanks

I need a bigger neck.
The Army wants me to have a 15" neck to balance out my neck, waist, and hips measurements. Right now I'm doing shoulder shrugs and presses. Is there anything else that I can do to increase size? Right now my neck is 13.75".

Better fat sources needed
I need better fat sources. I go over too much. I don't like butter/margarine, avocadoes, dressings, or oils other than olive oil. Help! I was told that I need fat with every meal. I like olive oil, cashews, and peanut butter. Anything else I can add to this?

No Goal Weight
I don't have a goal weight. I feel that it is a way to let a number define me. EX: I'm now 145#. That's perfect. Nah! That's not for me. Is that crazy?

I love my body but my *kitten* is like playdoh.
I have lost 48 pounds and I've lost all firmness back there. I have been lifting for 10 months. I do different types of squats, deadlifts, lunges, goblet and bodyweight squats. Still no firmness. I know you can't spot reduce/firm. Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Too eager to exercise no matter what
Hi Steve, I think I'm heading into a danger zone. When I first started this journey I hated working out. now that I've found programs that I love I can't stop. To add insult to injury I'm having a hard time eating back some of my calories without eating things like McDonald's. I don't know if you've heard of this…

Need motivation? Maybe this will help.
I saw this on my friend's FB Timeline: Put a dollar in jar every time you workout. Set a goal for yourself (ex: $50 or $100) then use the money to treat yourself. :smile: This will be an additional motivator for me.

Lifting/Water Retention
I lift heavy about 3-4 times per week for four months.. I'm told that you retain water after lifting to help with muscle repairt. I try to keep my sodium low (below 1500 mg) and I drink a lot of water for everyday needs and to replenish what I lose through sweat. Will there ever be a point when the amount you retain will…

Things I've learned on this journey...
1. One pound of muscle weighs the same as One pound of fat. You just look leaner. 2. Lifting heavy will not make me look like Mr. Bodybuilder of America. 3. It's ok to eat the foods you like..... moderation 4. One bad day doesn't mean I can sabotage the rest of the week. 5. Exercise is worthy of my time, mood improving,…

I think I finally broke the cycle!
I have to admit that I used to go through a vicious cycle of blaming and putting myself down: 1. I fuss at myself 2. Then I give myself a pep talk 3. Then I set up a reward system that encouraged me to get off the couch and move it. 4. One thing I will never do is: I realized that I'm worth it and that I'm miles ahead of…

I hide my vegetables in my food.
I hate most vegetables. I will seriously become a three yr old at the table. So recently I started blending them up and hiding them. I make meatloaf, meatballs, other grounded meats with blended broccoli, carrots, and cauliflower. I add raw greens to my fruit smoothies. I blend cauliflower to make them look like potatoes.…
