Looks like I found a keeper when I wasn't looking!
I met a sweet Venezuelan gal a few weeks ago when I was out at 13 Celsius (a nice wine bar in Houston). I was closing out my tab when the lady next to me was snapping a photo of two of her girlfriends. I, being the nice guy I am, offered to take a photo so they could capture one of all of them. Afterwards I introduced…

Veggie Haters, how do you get your veggies in?
So, I’m not a big fan of veggies. I think it’s partly because my step dad used to be way overbearing about forcing me to eat things, and I was strong willed and wasn’t having anyone FORCE me to put things into my body. The sad thing about this was, I ate more veggies BEFORE he started doing this than after. Some things the…

Crossfit -What fitness level were you when you started?
I’ve become interested in doing crossfit and I’m curious as to how fit I should be before starting. I don’t think I would have the endurance to do many of the circuits I’ve seen in the videos of people in their ‘boxes’ doing their various sets.

Minor NSV
So I’m stretching a little at my desk today and notice that the arm bands on my shirt are getting snug. It’s nice to see my body transformation is netting results.

How many men here practice Yoga?
I'm curious how many men here incorporate Yoga into their fitness activities? I was taking Ashtanga Yoga for a few months last fall and quit going when I tweaked the knee I had my ACL reconstructed on. I'm in way better shape now & my knee seems to be stronger so I'm really wanting to get back into it. I felt great when I…

Calories burned disparities
I’m using a Polar PT7 heart rate monitor (which calculates calories burned) and have it setup to my age, gender, and weight. I’m just wondering why there seem to be such large differences between the calories I seem to be burning compared to much of what I see listed on this site by users or by plugging in exercises? I see…

Been on MPF since April, but new to the community
Hello I’m Marc. I’m not really new, but I just recently started using the community feature of the site and thought I would introduce myself. I’ve been using MFP since late April on and off. It has helped me to better judge portions and make some better choices. While I do want results, I’m not going to beat myself up when…
