OK! You Win!
Following a devastating car crash on 02/22/2011 in which I suffered very minor physical damage and much more intense psychological damage, I grew impetuous, complaintive, withdrawn and increasingly unhappy. Naturally this lead to underperformance in the majority of my exams following this accident (which also happens to be…

What to do with back pain?
Hello folks, So I recently got into a car accident which I have not stopped whining about. And after a healthy round of feeling sorry for myself and compensatory overeating, I am now somewhat ready to get back into the swing of things. I have realized that laying in bed all day feels great on my back until I have to get up…

The 1200-calorie/Starvation Mode Myth
“The opposite of a fact is falsehood, but the opposite of one profound truth may very well be another profound truth.” - Niels Bohr Eating less than 1200 calories can be unhealthy but that does not mean eating less than 1200 calories cannot be healthy. Starvation mode absolutely exists but starvation mode is not definite…

Is it Insane to get EA Active doing P90X from the couch to 5
Hello folks, Quick Q, (as in question). I've got in mind to do Insanity, P90X, EA Sports Active 2 9 Week Program, and C25K in 2011. From folks who have done any and or all of these is there a particular order that will keep me most motivated and least sore? Can any of these be done concurrently (namely C25K +other…

UNPRETTY
About to head to bed but wanted to share something real quick. Tonight's thought comes by way of my fiancee who was telling me that she wanted to buy some concealer. I really think she is just the best thing since sliced bread and doesn't need anything changed about her or her face and TLC's Unpretty popped into my head to…

Just Breathe
What do Faith Hill, Blu Cantrell and all of the artists here know: http://www.thecouchsessions.com/2009/08/songs-with-the-same-title-breathe/ ? Something that I only recently just got into my thick head: you have to breathe. As I dipped into Yoga and got serious about my fitness this year, I've noticed that I am not…

Things That Make Me/You/Us Smile
So it seems like a bunch of my friends are having bad days. So I thought everyone could just post something that made them smile today or something that always makes them smile. Random or person or well-known, let's spread a little love for those feeling down. "but if you ever come to Canada, don't forget that tape measure…

Am I Seriously the Only Guy Here....
...Other than Canopy2k with full body fat pics up? I know many of us didn't come here to look at shirtless men in their unmentionables but I need some comparison shots folks to see what I have to look forward to or to see where we're all starting from. So put up some fat pics and stop acting like women! (<-- j/k ladies)…

Be Exact!
....or at least approximately exact. Hey my fellow fitness freaks, macro and micomanagers and slackers. This is just a reminder to everyone that you have to take everything you read on a label of any sort anywhere with a grain of salt (or salt substitute if you're on a sodium restriction.) i've said this before and many…

PSA - EA Sports Active 2
Dear MFP, If you have recently purchased EA Sports Active 2 from Wal-Mart or any other place for more than $56 dollars, please return it to that place and purchase it from Wal-Mart online. 2 weeks after purchasing mine from Wal-Mart stores, the online holiday rollback price went down to $56 which is the cheapest I've seen…

Quickly! Which phone?
Heading to mall right now. I have iPhone 3G and Apple has slowly but surely 'updating' me into a new phone. So I have AT&T which phone should I get? Samsung Captivate? Samsung Focus? something else? Tell me what and why in quick pro and mostly con. Thanks!

Fitness Calendar App
So there are a litany of blogs, forums, websites and apps available for tracking your fitness and nutrition. I am looking for a companion fitness app to MFP. I love MFP for tracking food and general exercises but I need an app that lets me schedule my workouts so I can just enter them for the month and just do whatever I…

A Rambling Rant?
Dear MFP, First off, as you all know by now, I love you. Secondly, where the heck has everyone been lately? I love a good ramble and a good rant, it entertains me while I'm at work. Where are all of you who began to text me and then stopped? I love a good debate, conversation, rant, rambling post as much as the next man.…

Ways to Weigh
Hey folks! I have noticed a lot of folks on here are weighing themselves to keep track of their progress. Just keep some things in mind: The Obvious Weighy yourself under the same circumstances each time. (i.e. time of day, location, clothing) Weigh yourself infrequently (more than once a week really isn't necessary) And…

The Ugly Truth About Diet Soda
By now you know that I like titling things in a way to draw people's attention, critiques, criticism and comments. I'm a glutton for a good debate. Anyhow, this is more of a personal observation. But as I've been seriously trying to respond to my body's needs rather than my wants these past three months, I have noticed…

How do you keep track...
...of all the responses to your various posts and comments on this site. I don't really have much of a life so I just spend all day scrolling through everything that pops up on my page and checking and re-checking forums. Is there a less losery or more time efficient way of doing this?

Whose leg is that?
So I've always had pretty large legs and gain muscle relatively quickly on them. Of late with my riding, running and EA Active 2 I've been putting my legs into overdrive. I woke up the other evening (I work nights you see) and hit my hand against something massive and pretty hard. I look down with delight to notice that…

Don't call it a diet!!!
I have been trying not to call what I am doing on MFP a diet because the conception of diet (at least in the US) is something that is short lived or involves some kind of program that you need to pay for or stringently follow. Yes you need to maintain a healthy diet to reach your goals of gaining, losing or maintaining…

'Nother Notch in My Belt (NSV)
So today I did a load of laundry and put on the pants that are usually relatively snug after taking them out of the dryer.(the same pants with the button that used to come undone not too many months ago) and not only did they go on loose I a) needed to wear a belt and b) noticed that I needed to make NEW holes in my belt…

You Guys Are Hot
Hey MFP, About to go to bed. Judging from all the pics of you guys I see on this website, there are some REALLY beautiful people on this website. And I mean BEFORE pics, AFTER pics and every pic in between. So congratulations on being beautiful and good luck on getting/staying healthy. I'm serious! I have yet to see…

What's your poison?
Holiday fat season is here and as we all make and break promises to ourselves about what we will or won't eat. I had one question: what's your weakness? What's the one thing you can't go without even though you know you should at holiday time? For me it's Apple Pie. I love the stuff! Can't get enough of it. Would eat apple…

Morbidly Mortified
Hiya folks, So lots of us joined this website for different reasons but I'm pretty suure we can all think up an experience (or quite a few experiences) that have embarrassed us. So I want to know: What's an embarrassing moment you've had? Weight-related or not. And how did it affect you. I'll start: I remember going to Six…

I Can't Help Being Fat
Time for another obligatory late night post from yours truly. I really am enjoying MFP a little too much but at least it will help to keep my goals and my body in mind at all times. I'd like to switch gears from m incendiary rhetoric of mythical numbers and starvation modes to have a serious discussion about disease of the…

The Obesity Epidemic
So from time to time, I hear news reports claiming that obesity is running rampant and is the greatest problem (the U.S. is facing in healthcare) today. Many claim that obesity is a disease and many others claim that i's behavioral and controllabl. I like to play devil's advocate so I'll argue on either side of that issue…

Randy's (Unrequested) Tip of the Day 2 - Popping Pills
Hey there sexy people, Nothing quite like being at work in a hospital in the middle of the night to free up one's time for giving out more unsolicited advice. So anyway I'm sure I'm not saying anything new here but I felt like hearing myself speak (or seeing myself type as the case may be). We all know that there are no…

Randy's (Unrequested) Tip of the Day
Hey MFP, While I put off updating my diary with all the junk I've eaten for the third day in a row (far too many Novemeber birthdays, far too little willpower), I thought I'd continue my daily topic posting streak with an unsolicited tip: My sister and I at the same thing for lunch but she selected the 300 calorie version…
