League... Let's talk about this...
I've heard / read so many times "out of my league", and I am curious... Just how do you know what league you are in? I certainly don't! I've never ever dated a guy who was ripped - always thought that was out of my league, someone THAT good looking wouldnt possibly be interested in me.. I've never been asked out by someone…

Running and nosebleeds
So I've been a runner for about two years now... And have been getting massive nosebleeds semi regularly for about a year and a half. (as in gushers that make a big mess). I've been going to the doctor and she doesn't seem to be concerned, but it's driving me crazy. I've had nosebleeds every morning for the last week!…

1 lb away from goal weight... now what?
So, I'm at a place I didn't really expect to be. I am 1 lb away from the "goal weight" I set. What now? I am 6'1", and currently weigh 166lbs. According to the body fat calculator (using a tape measure), I still have a body fat percentage of 21%. If you look at my profile pics, though, that seems a bit high to me - I…

We did the guns... Ladies lets see the backs!
So, we did a thread on our guns! Way to go ladies - such strength is awesome!!! Now I figure we should look at our backs... What do people see when we walk away? How do you strengthen your back? For me, I find that my running seems to benefit (and sometimes hurt) my back. I am also very active with my kids and love to…

There were some interesting responses that led me to wonder the following: When I calculated my base calories, I entered my settings as - Sedentary (most of…

Failing the "pencil test"
Ok, so when I was about 13, my grandma pulled me aside and said something to the effect of "sweetly, if you fail the pencil test, you have to start wearing a bra". What is the pencil test? Well, basically, if you can put a pencil at the base of your boob, and you can hold it there without using your hands, then you fail.…

Calories and daily limit excesses / deficits
I'm just curious... I'm thinking I know the answer but figured I'd get people's impressions too... If my daily limit is 1800, and I only consume 1200 of those calories, is it safe to add more calories to the next day? Or is the daily limit set that way because of how our bodies burn calories based on food and exercise for…

Counting Calories - I hate hate HATE it!
Ok, so just venting here... I really REALLY hate counting and keeping track of my calories. I guess I'm spoiled, I don't want to have to watch what I eat, and when I do, I am well aware of why I'm not making my goals. I am thankful for the ease that we can track things on MFP, but really, I'm not even at dinner and my TH…
