What is your motivation?
I believe success in any venture is achieved by knowing and having achievable goals and having strong motivations to reach those goals. Today I reached my second NSV goal that I had set for myself. The goal I had set was to be able to wear my wedding band again. My motivation was and is to be able to let everyone know that…

Alternatives to Squats - Weak right knee
I've been reading up on the Stronglifts 5x5 program and am interested in doing it, but am hesitant to do the squats even with a light weight because I have issues with my knees.

So is an elliptical only for the ladies?
The last few times I've gone to the gym I've noticed that if I use an elliptical that I get strange looks from other guys. It's almost as if I've given up my man card to use this machine.

Saw someone's profile that they had logged upwards of 200 days. Thats both amazing and awesome to me. What is the…

New to mfp. Looking to loose 50 pounds by New Years. The plan is to use Hydroxycut and Slimfast to jump start myself and eat small dinners along with exercise.

I want six pack abs! =)
Hey people! New to MFP but not to the weight struggle. The only time I can think of in my life when I could eat whatever I wanted and I didn't gain weight was when I was in Iraq, and I don't have any desire to repeat that trip. I have 50 lbs to loose to meet my first goal and I plan to be there New Years. Any suggestion…
