Swimsuit for very overweight man?
I'm hoping to get back into swimming, but am having trouble finding a swimsuit that works. My current trunks have so much material on them that if I so much as kick off the wall, I move but the suit doesn't, putting me in danger of arrest for indecent exposure. I'm having a lot of trouble finding huge-size swimsuits that…

Trainer working me too hard?
Morning all! I signed up with a personal trainer to get a kick-start to my exercise program. I'm seeing him once a week, and doing another session on my own. I'm frankly feeling like I've been taken through the wringer each session, and am not enjoying them at all. I'm wondering whether he's pushing too hard. For example,…

So can we put this topic to bed now?
Pretty sobering evidence on sugar is now in: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/health/sugar-damages-the-bodys-organs-directly-new-findings-suggest/article16664804 “The new paradigm hypothesizes that sugar has adverse health effects above any purported role as ‘empty calories’ promoting obesity,” Laura…

Opinion on Bowflex dumbbells, bench?
I'm thinking of oicking up a pair of Bowflex 552's. The reviews seem to be strong. Does anyone here have any opinions? Is there anything else I should be considering instead? I've also been researching benches, and like the look of the Bowflex 3.1. It seems like a good compromise between price and ability to safely support…

How do you record your weight training?
MFP is good for recording cardio, but rather tedious for weight training. Do any of you have a tool you use for that? The best I've found so far is JEFit, which I don't find that great, and it doesn't connect to MFP. What do you all use? Thanks!

Arrrrrrgh my back!
I threw my back out about three weeks ago. I could barely walk for a week. I'm mobile now, but it's still sore, and I haven't been able to restart my cardio program, let alone weights. I've been to the doc and I've been to physio, so I don't think there's anything to do that I'm not already doing, but... I am so…

I'm Back!
Hi all! I've done a couple of rounds at MFP in the past, and lost about 50 lbs. Unfortunately, during the same period, I also gained about 50 lbs, and find myself pretty much back to where I started. My doctor suggested that I consider bariatric surgery, and after a bit of research which scared the crap out of me, I've…

Two bad days in a row
Well, two not-so-good days over this weekend for me. This looks like a good hint of how the holiday season could go. Does anyone have any hints about how to get through the holidays? To be honest, I don't mind that much if things slow down over the season, but I fear losing momentum and failing to get back into the swing…

Hello!
Hi everyone. I'm new around here, just getting going. I have a long weight-loss road ahead of me, so looking forward to some good conversations. I want to lose 100 lbs, and figure that will take me about two years. Well, one step at a time. My short-term goal: drop one waist size so I can wear some of the pants I have in…
