3 People Unfriended You-
So, I don't really pay that close attention to my friends list (yeah, I'm that guy...) and I just noticed a "3 people unfriended you" banner across the top of the page and "see you unfriended you" so, not really thinking too clearly, I clicked on it. OH, it's an ad trying to get you to do something or buy something or…

Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris is so scary that when the Boogeyman goes to bed, he checks the closet for Chuck Norris Chuck Norris died 10 years ago but the Grim Reaper is too scared to tell him Chuck Norris can turn toast back into bread Disney made a Chuck Norris movie in 3D but had to pull it out of theatres. In the first scene Chuck…

Negative Calorie Foods
Ok, so in another part of the MFP board I saw somebody mention "negative calorie foods" and somebody else call them out on it and say there's no such thing. So, I did a quick Google search and there are a lot of websites that say there are negative calorie foods (meaning foods that have fewer calories in them than your…

Interesting Combinations of Thread Titles
Sometimes the thread titles come up with interesting combinations. Most recent I've seen "what turns you off" immediately followed by "Boob jobs" Which have you seen recently?

Is Anybody Still in This??
from the lack of posts, it appears that everybody's given up. Well, I haven't. Still doing 30DS at Level 3. I skipped last 2 days and did only my normal workout routine. Will be doing L3 tonight. I have no idea how 30DS has impacted my health/weight loss as I'm doing other exercise as well. But I've lost 4 inches off my…

The Ultimate Thread for Controversy and Flames
Okay, what would be the subject line for the ultimate flame war thread on MFP? Brownie Points (HA!!!) for whoever comes up with the best subject line. "Aspartame in Diet Soda combined with not eating back your exercise calories leads to Starvation Mode"

why aren't the atheist and non religious threads closed?
Just curious as I have no issue with them but wonder why the thread looking for Christian friends was closed by moderators but the threads looking for athiest and non-religious friends are still open.

Cell Phones and the bathroom
OK, there is NOTHING that is so important that it can't wait until AFTER you're done in the bathroom to call me. I mean, whatever it is, I'm willing to wait until you're done before talking with you. In fact, I'm at a point where if I realize you're calling me from a bathroom, I'm going to hang up on you.

The Guy I hate at the gym
so there's this guy who works out at the gym once or twice a week, same time I do. And I'm growing to hate him. Yesterday I actually cut short my workout so I wouldn't have to be around him. First off, he's an explosive breather. "HMMMUH" with every rep. Not as bad as Monica Seles on the tennis court but getting close.…

Drop 5 pounds in 24 hours
I've seen lots of threads with weight loss "plans" that claim to be able to give large losses in a short period of time. I figured I'd toss out the one my high school wrestling coach advocated in the 48 hours before weigh ins. As a wrestler, you always wanted to be in the lowest weight class you could get down to. So…

Weight Lifting Plateau?
Is there such a thing as a weight lifting plateau? Here's the deal, I've been in weight losing mode since September and am down 25 pounds. Been lifting and doing cardio throughout the process. And been able to steadily increase the weights I've been lifing on a regular basis. I'm 5 pounds from my weight goal and am…

I've become one of "Those Guys"
It's happened, I've become one of "those guys". You know, the ones who are lifting actual free weights and appear to know what they're doing. At least I know how to do the stuff I"m doing. Have even had a couple people ask me how to use different stuff or do different exercises. And worse, I'm starting to notice the people…

Steroid injection- effect on weight training?
I had a prednisone injection today (for medical issue unrelated to exercising) and I'm wondering if that would have any effect on my weight training over the next month or so. According to the doc, the steroid stays active in the body for up to 3 months with an injection. Might be a good time for me to try to push myself a…

Level 3
Level 2 is crushing me with all the planks and pushup stuff so I took a look at L3. Did it this morning without using weights. It's harder on the cardio but I thought it was easier than L2 over all. Tomorrow I do it with weights but I'm going to start with light weights. I've been using 5 pounds with L1 and L2 but will…

Water Zumba
Ok, I did a water zumba class last night. I know I didn't do all the moves exactly correctly but I did fairly close. But I have to say, I'm not really convinced that it's useful. Hard to figure out how hard I was actually working. In the pool, so no sweating. But didn't feel that I got my heartrate up for any amount of…

HIIT and Tabata- Need some clarification please
OK, I'm thinking I understand but just want to really make sure. I'm looking at doing this on elliptical. So, I would do 3-5 minutes of warmup at steady pace. Then alternate 20 seconds of as hard as I can go with 10 seconds of recovery (half the pace of the high intensity part) and alternate for 4minutes. Then a 2 minute…

Setting my new goal--
OK, I'm setting my serious target goal. 160 pounds by March 15. That's just over a month. I'm floating back and forth between 168 and 172 the past 10 days. I'm going to get serious serious and I'm going to hit my target weight. Then its into maintenance mode. All ya'll (that's southern for "everybody out there"), keep…

First 2 Days- What's good, what's hard?
Did day 1 last night, did day 2 this morning. Definitely gets the heart going. Nice timing on the cardio. Was getting ready to take a break as "this is about my limit" when it switched to abs exercises. I'm using 5 pound weights but modifying a little. Bad left shoulder so I can't do butterflies as much as the video…

30Day Shred and rotator injuries
Anybody done 30Day Shred who has shoulder problems? Most of the exercise programs like that are not good for me because of bad shoulder. I can't do P90X with all the pull up stuff. I glanced at 30DS and it didn't seem to have as much that would bother my shoulder. Anybody done it with bad rotator? What do you need to skip…

Thumb Pain from Lifting?
Any suggestions or info on serious pain in thumbs and palms from lifting? My right thumb is terrible for past 4 or 5 days. Hurts to pick things up or squeeze with it. I'm assuming it's related to lifting. Anybody have similar problems and have some suggestions on improving it? I can't lift last few days because the pain is…

Customize P90X for shoulder problems?
I'd like to try some program like P90x but all of them seem to have exercises that i can't do because of rotator/labrum problems in my shoulder. Can any of that type of program be customized to avoid the shoulder damaging exercises? I can't do pull ups or pushups and I know P90X has those. Any suggestions would be…
