So I know reddit can be the sludge of the internet...
...but are there any really good food/nutrition/diet/fitness subreddits that I'm somehow missing out on? I'm part of all the big ones (xxfitness, IIFYM, fitness, etc) but I was curious as to if I'm missing out on some good stuff. TIA

Macro coach - holy expensive! Worth it?
I'm desperate to find my spark/push/motivation to lose this weight I've put back on and thought it would be worth looking into having a macro coach. ...until I found out that it's more expensive to have a coach for a few months that a deluxe gym membership for a year. For those of you who have had coaching, was it worth…

Just looking for more active, chatty friends :)
Hi guys and gals! I've been here for years and had my ups and downs, and just looking for more friends that like to post comments and chat in general. I'm currently coming off of a long injury, but generally like to lift weights, take combat and yoga classes, meal prep, and talk about food in general. Have a good day,…

Anyone else on the injured list right now?

Someone give me some tough love or maybe a smack upside the head
I've been at this for a long time, lost 40 lbs with MFP (then regained it when I stopped tracking), been here for years so I KNOW the drill... give it time, measure anything that goes in your face, be meticulous blah blah blah. I'm normally one of the "give it time, you're doing great!" cheerleaders, but OMFG $%#&#^$!!!!!…

Dry protein to add to coffee?
This morning, I tried putting Solgar Whey to Go in my coffee and the taste was good but the texture was atrocious. I'd like to keep something at my desk (non perishable). Any recommendations for a protein powder that will blend by spoon with hot coffee? I have heard great things about the RTD premier protein shakes, but…

Engaging proper muscle groups - any secrets?
I have worked with my exercise instructors, watched videos, read articles, etc. I can't seem to properly engage my glutes for squats, and my shoulders (joints, not muscles) seem to take the brunt of the work with bench presses and pushups. Does anyone have any tips that worked for them in learning how to engage the right…

proper form for beginning pushups
OK I know how a push-up SHOULD look. Well, I can't get close to that. Not yet. Is it better for me to try on my knees and sort of do that snakey-floppy-poorly formed wussy pushup just to get it done, or should I just focus on proper form and pushing hard against the floor, even if I can't lift myself up off the ground?…
