Symmetry?
Hi All, So I've recently switched from Starting Strength to 5/3/1 and have noticed with the new assistance work that my dominant side (I'm a lefty) is significantly stronger than my non-dominant side. Do I continue with the same weight on both sides even though it is easy with the left and a struggle with the right? My…

How Do I Complaint to K-Mart?
The offending commercial shows a curvy sexy woman (she may be famous??) drawing an *kitten* and boobs on pictures of a traditional rail-thin fashion model. "Woman should be here and here" she says as she circles each sub-standard body-part. WHat about us fireplug women? I'm offended! I'm a perfectly healthy weight for my…

Eating Back Exercise Calories isn't a Pig Out
Hey all just wanted to throw this out there for the beginners.. It seems that many when trying to "eat back" their exercise calories see those calories as a lump sum they must somehow consume by the end of the day after said exercise is complete. It doesn't have to be done this way! Plan ahead! When you know you are going…

City Dwellers - Philly
Who has a Philly zipcode? Tons of suburbanites love to say they are from Philly. But who is REALLY from Philly? What neighborhood? I'm in Pennsport. The Mummers are getting ready. Anyone else?

Podrunner BPM Question
Hey All, I love podrunner! I just love the music and don't think I could run without it. But I have a hard time pacing myself to the tempos. I'm doing the First Day to 5K and am on week 6 (25 min run tomorrow). During the walk intervals I step with the beat easily, but once the run intervals start I can't find the rhythm.…

I HATE 30 Day Shred!
(Sorry this is long. It turned out longer than I intended. Read at your own risk) I do! I hate it. And not the good hate, like "oh, she sucks 'cause she kicks my butt" sort of thing. More like "I don't understand why I'm doing this kooky simultaneous one legged squat and military press thing." I keep going with it because…

Calories Burned Spreadsheet
I'm dying to get a HRM, but I just can't right now (it is #1 on my list when I get working again). So I've created a spreadsheet for myself based of the formula given here: http://www.livestrong.com/article/261838-how-to-calculate-the-calories-burned-in-a-workout/#ixzz21mbkQkuy Its is not perfect, you have to estimate your…

All Sets in a Row?
Hi, I'm looking at some beginning weight training "Routines" that list the exercises, number of sets and number of reps. My question is do you do one set of each and then go back to the first exercise and go through them all again for the second and third sets? Or do you do 3 sets of the first exercise before moving to the…

Teeny-Bopper!
So I was walking past a neighbor's house today and she called me over - NEIGHBOR: Emily! You look great? Have you been on a diet? ME: I've been watching what I eat and exercising, yes. NEIGHBOR: You look like a teeny-bopper! I'm 41. YAY!@!

Biggest Challenge Yet - Unemployment
So I just got laid off and besides the financial worries (which I won't bore you all with) I'm seriously worried about staying on track with my weight loss. I think I'll stay on track with my exercising (I'll have MORE time for this) but it is being at home all day next to the fridge that I am worried about, not to mention…

Last 20lbs
Hi all, just joined the site but have been lurking for some time gleaning info and finding inspiration. I've already lost 60lbs and am on those last stubborn 20! I am hoping that joining will help me reach my goal. I'm 5'6" and my highest weight was 201 about a year ago. I dropped 10 when I went off some medication. I…
