Free style and still see results?
Seems like almost everyone is following a routine. I have been free styling my workouts and am pretty happy with the results so far. Is there anyone else out here who does *not* follow a pre-designed workout and still seeing results? Just curious. Note: I have been working out for over 10 years now. Although I was…

Like button?
Wondering if MFP should have a like button? So people can search most liked posts? People spend so much time and pour out so much information on different threads. Wish there was a simple way to find these gems :)

Things that make you sad after losing weight
Not being able to wear all my favorite clothes because they are too big now. Spending money to buy a new wardrobe is really disappointing. I know I'm supposed to be happy about the weight loss and yaadi yaadi yaada but I can't believe most of my perfectly good suits need to be altered/put away. Was there anything that got…

GNC On the Go Blender
I just bought this: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11595596 from GNC for $29.99 and ABSOLUTELY love it. I'm not paid by GNC in anyway to do this, but I love this thing and wanted to share. The convenience is great! But it does make a lot of noise. =)

Post a pic a week!
For the last three months I was really motivated and active in making changes. I lost 18 pounds and got down to 10.5% body fat. But I've lost that drive and hoping to kick start it with this thread. Looking for "transformation buddies". I'll post my current pic once a week - both flexed and normal. Hopefully I'll find…

Does it matter: Mixing protein shakes hours early?
So I read something along the lines of - protein shakes are not designed to be mixed with water/milk hours before you drink it. That one should mix it only if they plan to drink it immediately. Does this really matter? If I mix my protein shake in the morning and drink it in the evening, am I getting less benefits?

Getting stronger while losing weight
So I've been reducing my body fat %ge for the last 4 months. I'm down to 13% body fat from 22% body fat. I probably haven't done this the healthy way, but I reduced my carb intake dramatically. One thing I was expecting was that I'll start getting weaker and weaker. But to my surprise I'm getting stronger. I did my first…

Good way to track workouts?
Anyone has any good suggestions on how to track workouts? I've never tracked workouts in past - I've always worked out hard but I think I will progress better by tracking my exercises week over week. Even if it is an excel file you maintain, looking for some quick easy ways to track.

How/Should I tell an alcoholic if he is an alcoholic?
I have a good friend whose husband *seems* to be an alcoholic. I know for a fact that he has downed 4 big bottles of vodka, tequila and whisky in a week. Basically whatever is in the house meant for when friends are over. He has a huge history of drinking. I also know for a fact that he "needs a drink or two" on a daily…

What *don't* you track in your diary?
I am Indian and use a mirage of spices in all my cooking. I track all the major ingredients and anything I think might have more than 10-20 calories. But I do not track individual spices and servings used. What don't you track in your diary? Edit: I don't track coffee/water as well.

Cottage cheese with...?
What do you mix your cottage cheese with? As disgusting as it sounds, I seem to like adding half a table spoon of fat free chocolate syrup on 1/2 cup of fat free cottage cheese. I've tried with salt and pepper and although it tastes fine, I still have to push myself to eat that. Looking for more simple recipes =)

Do you recover the calories burnt doing Hiking, prolonged-biking, etc.. (note: haven't mentioned marathons) If you do, how do you go about it? Simple/complex carb? or do you still stick to your macro ratios?

Just found out I'm at 15% body fat
I am so so so happy! For a year I've been disappointed by seeing my weighing scale (one of those that even measures body fat) display my body fat between 20-22%. I dropped close to 5 lbs but had almost no change in body fat. I recently started going to the office gym and they accurately measured my body fat today - to…

What motivated you to start doing cardio?
I've been working out for years now. In the last year, I've gotten serious about my diet too. But I just cannot seem to get myself on the threadmill (or any particular cardio on a daily basis).

Need help selecting a bike
Hi, I was in the market to buy a bike. I've been biking a lot since the last month and I think it might just make sense to buy a second hand bike. I don't wish to spend much. Budgeting for $200-$250 max. I am 6 feet tall and I really like to drive road bikes. I am ok with a hybrid too. Any bikers here who could give me…
