Pilonidal Cyst - Post-Surgery Recovery Experiences?
Has anyone else gone through this? I just got mine removed this past Tuesday and I am finding that this really sucks. I've really got my diet down hard as I want this to heal ASAP but I probably won't even be able to go into the gym for another few weeks. This is most definitely the most humiliating medical procedure I've…

Opinions on spot corrections in the gym?
So here's the deal... I'm a poor college student who can't really afford to go to a gym that allows me to be "intense" (for lack of a better word).... I go to Planet Fitness. There's nothing wrong with PF but it's just not for me so I suck it up. In going to the gym, I often see people there who are either new to lifting…

Macronutrients - The Importance (URL)
Good afternoon, all! I was doing research as I was interested in learning more about macronutrients after seeing a thread on MFP about members' various macronutrient ratios. I certainly learned a lot from this! I'm posting this for those of you who were like me and wanted to learn more about nutrition and didn't already…

[Movie] Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead
So I'm not sure if anyone has had the opportunity to watch this documentary but I haven't even heard of it until the other day. I know it's really big and popular, but I figure that if I hadn't seen it before this past week... There must be other people in the MFP community (and world) who could find this documentary…

Google+
I need to get this off my chest because I am enjoying this new social networking site so much. At first you hear something like this and think how I thought of Twitter when I first heard the concept.... And now I have a Twitter account even though I know that nobody REALLY cares about what I have to say. I'm too tired to…

My Polar FT7 HRM 1-Day Review [If you have no idea]
So I received the Polar FT7 yesterday evening in the mail, I was excited for it because I really wanted to know how many calories I've REALLY been burning. I'm still getting used to having one (obviously) but I'm really happy with this investment overall. I purchased mine on Amazon.com for $85. The first thing that I…

A little inspiration for those of you who THINK you CAN'T BE
[I’m at work and I keep hopping back and forth between writing this and doing actual work, I apologize in advance if there are any inconsistencies in this] So, I’ve started this thread to inspire anybody who feels as though they either aren’t physically capable of becoming a runner or might have their doubts/interests but…

Consistently Going Under Daily Calorie Goal...
So I need to create a deficit, but it can't be an extreme one... Which is why MFP tells me to try and consume X amount of calories per day. I've been hearing a lot about this "survival mode" that our bodies go into once it realizes what's happening. I don't have it in me to eat healthy and make the mark at the same time.…

Sugar/Protein Overdose?
I consistently go over sugar and protein. Sugar I can somewhat understand but it’s not like I go way over the top.. Yesterday I went -37 in sugar (almost double at my goal of 45g).. I consumed quite a bit of protein having consumed 135g of my daily goal of 83g. I do go to the gym and lift 5 days a week so is the protein…

Calorie intake (Newbie question)
One question that I really just thought of (hadn't come to mind at any point before now) is this: Can I consume significantly less than my daily calorie goal? I do a lot of exercise and that takes my daily goals up by almost or around 500 calories extra everyday. Example: yesterday my daily goal was 2200, I consumed 1500.…
