I need some opinions and advice about a Doctor's visit.
Hi Guys and Gals, Last Friday, while walking, I felt a stabbing pain on my back and hip area. After researching a little here and on Google, it seemed to be a pinched nerve/scatica (sp). I've never had back problems before. I'm no gym bunny, but I average 3 workouts per week. By the way, the stabbing pains went away by…

Yes, I ate that many Pistachios. Don't judge. :) help me log it pls.
I made the mistake of buying a big ole bag of Pistachios from Costco. I know I ate way too many the first time, to I decided to count how many I will eat before I'm satisfied. That way I can record the most accurate calories and know how bad I Effed up. Anyhow, I ate 100 pistachios (shells removed). :blush: The package…

Do you have Dental Veneers? Would you do it again?
Hi Pals, I hope this isn't a too personal question.

Lifestyle Lift... Anyone had it done?
Hi all, I've seen the commercial for "Lifestyle Lifts" for years now. My sister is in her middle 50s and her neck is the area she is most unhappy with right now. She isn't the type to go online much, so I'd like to help her get some real-life experiences. I've researched for her and read reviews, but i'm sometimes…

Grip Strength. Anyone else have this issue?
Hi all, I've been trying to reach a goal of lifting 45 lb. plates when I DL.

Terrified Newbie here. Hi all!
Hi ladies, I've read NROL and Strong Lifts 5 x 5 and guess what? Everytime i go into the gym to start a strength training program, I'm so scared of free weights that I get on a cardio machine and don't get off until my hour is up. :laugh: :sad: I've reached my goal weight a few times and i'm never satisfied with what i see…

Have you noticed it too?
There isn't an entry for Stairmaster in the MFP Exercise database. The only one that comes up is "Step Treadmill - Ergonimic (sp)". I've been using this one because i have an HRM and can enter my own calories. However, it bugs me. :laugh: Is it not called the Stairmaster? I know the machine i'm on is called "Stairmaster"…

Student loans while single. What happens when you marry?

Warm-Up Sets... Stronglifts 5 x 5

It seems like alot of reps for warming…
