My Carb Challenge!
Ok, so here it goes. Lets finally settle some of this debate, on low carb vs. normal carb vs. high carb diets. Now, I'm not going to actually debate any information in this thread. But I guess in someway, I will be the test dummy for it. Last Monday (the 29th) I started my 3rd round of P90X. I had great success with my…

Getting sick, and sticking to a diet?
Does anyone have any tips for the above problem? Recently, last week I became very ill. So much so that I ended up in the hospital. My doctor thought I might have come down with mono again, although that does seem to be the case. (Thank God). Anyway.. I from last Wednesday, until this Wednesday, I was unable to eat…

Belong to a gym? Or workout at home?
Do you belong to a gym? (That you activity go to). Or do you workout at home? Personally I workout at home with P90X. I absolutely love working out at home. However, I am thinking about joining a gym after this round. I am still a bit unsure tho. I feel as tho, I would make more excuses to not go, if I had to leave the…

Are ab workouts worth it?
Ok, so of course we all want some rock solid abs right? And actually most of us probably have them.. Even if they are hidden under a couple layers of fat.. I was recently thinking about this. I have completed two rounds of P90X, before just starting my 3rd last week. During the first two rounds, I barely did ab ribber x.…

Where to get BF% measured in NJ?
Hey guys, just curious if there is anyone in the NJ area.. Around Toms River or close. That knows where I can get my body fat professionally measured? I have calipers I use at home, but I'm not positive I do it correctly. I also have a bio-impedance scale, but I'm pretty sure it probably is not correct either. I workout at…

Questions about the scale vs. progress.
Alrighty, well I have a few questions/comments that I would love for someone with a bit more fitness knowledge than me answer. I know all the time people get frustrated when the scale does not move. I on the other hand, don't really care. I may not even weigh myself once a week anyway. I know that while working out and…

Complacent.. it's worse than food.
Just want to throw this one out there.. How many of us have every at one point become complacent with ourselves? Or the situation you were in? Or you're weight? It seems to happen most when we fall into relationships with others. We feel so accepted, so comfortable, that we let ourselves go. I realized it about 3 years…

What is consider low carb?
Alright, so after all my reading I've done.. and looking at diets, and exercise habits, how to build muscle, burn fat etc etc. I came to the conclusion that carbs are the enemy. Weather you agree or disagree with that statement. Here is my question, what is considered a low carb diet? 0 carbs? Under 30? Under 70? Where do…

Stop stressing the number..
I just logged my food for today and MFP said.. "if every day were like today, you would weigh xxxx in xxx weeks." I didn't nearly eat enough for my goals, today I hit chest and back hard and only ate 1600 calories. It does not make a difference the number on the scale. And yet time and time again people on here are so…

Need food advice, please!
First off, I'll just start by saying that I am in my 3rd round of P90X. My main goal is fat loss, while maintaining muscle. In other words, I'm not worried about the number on the scale. Anyhow, here is the problem I am running into. Right now, i'll eat 6 oz. of chicken for lunch with a banana. For dinner I figured I could…

What was you're tipping point?
Just curious to when and WHY everyone started to workout / lose weight? For myself, I believe it was just proving to myself that I could do it. That I could lose weight etc. And it is the same thing now, proving to myself that I can get stronger, lose more body fat, etc etc, Each and every day I have to re-prove to myself…

Unhappy.. Again.
Hi everyone, My names Chris. I've been using myfitnesspal on and off for a while.. I have been struggling with my weight every since I was in sixth grade. I'm currently 20, turning 21 in only 11 days! However, I'm unhappy with the way I look once again. I guess it would be appropriate to start with a back story first: MY…
