Dating a Super Hero
I liked the other topic today about what super power you would choose if you could so I thought I'd start another one... If you could date any super hero, which one would it be? For me, I'd have to go with She Hulk. Mmm..... She Hulk! http://marvel.com/universe/She-Hulk

HRM Question
Here's a question for HRM users: Do you subtract your resting calories burned from the calories you burn during your workout?

Yoga
Does anyone else do yoga as a primary form of exercise? How do you log it in MFP? As cardio? As strength? It seems to fit better under strength, but it doesn't lend itself well to listing it as "sets" and "reps". Not quite sure the best way to log it. -jd

Bad backs and fitness / exercise
The thing that really inspired me to get fit, exercise and lose weight is that I recently found out I have a degenerated disc in my lower back (L5/S1). About a month ago I'd hit a point where I could barely walk because the pain was so bad. Today, I'm doing yoga every day (morning and evening sometimes) just to keep my…

Hello
Hello. My name is JD and I'm a 42 year old married guy in the US. I've been 60-75 pounds over weight for quite a few years now but could never get motivated enough to do anything about it. But about a month ago I started having terrible back pain and found out that I have a degenerated disc in my lower spine. I'm pretty…
