The "BEST" Weightloss Strategy of All Time!
Don't worry -- I have, with the help of MFP discussions, compiled all the best advice to create a perfect weight loss plan. My nutrition plan is simple. I’m going to eat nothing for three days with the exception of a smoothie made of chili powder, raw egg, and an assortment of caffeine based supplements. Then, after this…

Correlation versus Causation
They are not the same! As an example, say I conduct a scientific study in which I conclude that people who wear size small clothes are highly statistically likely to weigh less than those who wear size extra-large. I think we can all agree with that. Now say I take a huge leap away from logic and say that the CORRELATION…

Classes at on-base gyms

The past few weeks I feel off MFP because there’s no counting…

Significant Others
Hey everyone! This looks like a great group. I have avoided joining these groups in the past because I'm pretty fit, but don't want to make someone with 100lbs on me feel bad when I mention that I ran 5 miles today or am having a hard time with those last couple pounds. Speaking of those last couple pounds -- does anyone…
