ALL TEH THANKSGIVING FOODZ
Brace yourselves...Thanksgiving is upon us. :drinker: I'm trying to make a list for all the food I need to get at the grocery store for this day of eating festivus, and I feel like I'm forgetting some of the traditional (or even not so traditional) Thanksgiving foods/snacks/sides/desserts. So tell me, what are your…

Homemade Pizza Recipes
Hey all - First, I'm sorry if this is a duplicate topic, but quite frankly, I'm too lazy to search the forums. (Or the internet for that matter) I'm looking for a really good homemade pizza recipe. And no, I do NOT want a cauliflower crust or any of that other nonsense. I want pizza, real pizza - none of that fat free,…

You know you're a MFP addict when...
You check MFP's newsfeed more frequently than facebook's newsfeed. I'll admit it...I'm guilty of this. Now...if only MFP would get a darn "like" option for comments...:grumble:

Things Women Say to Personal Trainers
Some of you may find this demoralizing to women, but I personally found this video hilarious. Admittedly, I've said a few of these things to my trainer at one point or another... http://youtu.be/aosMsYWzKzs :drinker:

Glutamine?
Anyone take glutamine as a supplement to help with DOMS? Does it help you recover faster?

Sodium, Anyone?
Wasn't sure which board to post this in, so I went with this one. Sorry in advance if anyone feels this is the *wrong* board. Anyways, is anyone else crazy sensitive to sodium? And by sensitive, I mean does your weight fluctuate a lot from it? It seems like if I exceed my sodium intake by even 100 or so, my weight goes up.…

It's my BIRTHDAY!!

You Know You've Had Too Much
You know you've had too much MFP exposure when: You lock your computer screen and the message reads "This computer is in use and has been locked" and you read it as "this thread has been locked because..." :laugh:

Oh the Irony...
When I first started logging my food and lurking in the forums, one thing that always seemed backwards to me was this: "In order to flush out the water weight, drink more water" Just seemed counterproductive. But, alas, it really works! :drinker: What were some of the strange/ironic things you've all learned since you've…

Putting the Scale Away...
This morning, I decided that I'm putting the scale away and won't weigh in until after the first of the year. (Assuming we survive past this Friday :huh:) It's the holidays and while I don't plan on going crazy and eating everything in sight (except for maybe on Christmas Day), I am going to continue to bust my butt at the…

Weight Lifters: What do you...
EAT?!? I was listening to a conversation among some fellow co-workers at lunch today and a few of them were arguing about whether or not it's possible to eat what you want (within reason) and lift weight and still lose weight. One of the women said that she eats whatever she wants, just makes sure to hit her protein goals…

HOLIDAY EATING TIPS
HOLIDAY EATING TIPS 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls. 2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly. It's rare... You cannot find it any other time of…

So, what's your favorite...
Christmas cookie? It seems there's been quite a bit of drama going on in the forums today...let's lighten the mood and discuss one of my favorite things....FOOD. I've had a one track mind since Thanksgiving...how soon can I start making Christmas cookies??! I like them all, but I still think my all-time favorites are the…

Midwestern Guys?
Are there any guys out there around the Milwaukee/Chicago area? Represent! Seems like the majority of the male MFPers posting in these forums are from the southern U.S - mainly the Texas area. Maybe we should start a poll and see which area has the most active male MFPers! Who's in?

Is Sodium in EVERYTHING??
Okay, so I've been trying to pay attention to my sodium intake lately and I'm having one heck of a time staying within my recommended sodium macro (2,500mg per day). It seems the only way I can stay under that is if I don't add sauce/seasoning to anything - which come on, just isn't reasonable, much less sustainable. I…

Runners...thoughts on compression sleeves?
Okay....so has anyone tried compression sleeves to help treat/prevent shin splints while running? I'm curious if there's something to them or if they'd just be a waste of money. I'm not an avid runner (yet) :huh: but I'm training for a 10k this fall and have been sidelined a few times from shin splints - which sets me back…
-
Runners...Macro Settings?
Okay, so I just finished training for my first 5k, using one of the C25K apps. I'm now training for a 10k and I'm beginning to wonder if my macros are right. Currently they're set at 45/25/30 for carbs/fat/protein...but I've read a few articles that say runners should be eating around 55% carbs - even more on race days.…

Rock 'n Sole Runners!
Did anyone just do the Rock 'n Sole Run in Milwaukee, WI this past weekend? I did the 5k - my first timed 5k - and absolutely LOVED it! My goal now is to train for the quarter marathon for next year. :bigsmile: For those of you who ran it, which distance did you do and what did you think? I will definitely be doing this…

This week's NSV
So I just had to share my best yet NSV to date. Last night at the gym, I RAN an entire mile without stopping to walk. :bigsmile: Now that might not be a big deal to some of you, but prior to last night, I think the furthest I've ran without stopping to walk was *maybe* a half mile, and that's probably being optimistic. So…

Hypothryoidism...should I eat more?
Hi Everyone, I've been reading all over that in order to lose weight, you should really eat back your exercise calories or go to Fit 2 Fat Radio and figure out how many calories you should be eating based on their calculators. My question is does this hold true for people who have been diagnosed with hypothyroid? I was…

Muscle Milk
Okay...I'm looking to try Muscle Milk in the powder form, but I didn't realize there were so many different flavors. Sooo...for those of you who've tried it, what's your favorite flavor? Ready? And go...
