Cheat Meal Practice?
Those of you who follow the practice of eating a Cheat Meal, how do you do it? Do you eat one cheat meal per week? More or less frequent? Are there stipulations to "when" you can have a cheat meal? (Based on weight loss, maintenance, weekly calorie goals? etc.) Also, do you workout on the day of your Cheat Meal, or do you…

Fitness as a Job Requirement?
Does anyone else here have a career or a job where your physical appearance and being fit is actually a requirement? I understand the importance of fitness for your own health, well being, confidence and overall positive self image... but I am wondering how many people have to be fit as part of their livelihood?

Wheat FREE Bread ?
I know how completely ridiculous it sounds but I am serious.... I recently tried to REALLY clean up my diet and my biggest challenge seems to be wheat. I can give up pastas and all of the sweets containing wheat, or wheat types ... but bread is my weakness. Does anyone have any wheat-free alternatives to bread?

MMA Frauds
WHY does EVERY middle aged, out of shape guy alllllllll of a sudden want to be an MMA fighter? Why do they ALLL of a sudden think they're hardcore because they bought some "Tapout Gear" at the mall and show up for a few "cardio" classes at the local "MMA school" that just popped up?

Anyone want to play "Week In The Life Of"??
I've seen this game played before, but I've never actually had a chance to play. It always looked fun and I thought it'd be a great way to get to know my friends here on MFP and maybe make some new ones. I also thought that this would be a positive spin that the boards could really use after all the negativity and what…

What should my goal be on MFP?
I have lots of resourceful friends on here, so I decided to utilize that... and also posting on the boards because perhaps there are other resourceful people out there that I haven't yet befriended.

Zero Sugar Diet
I'm contemplating starting a zero sugar diet ... or at least as close to zero sugar as humanly possible. I'm pretty good with nutrition, but I don't know if I could wake up every morning and chew on a piece of chicken for breakfast, lol. My body looks pretty good, but its not quite perfected the way I'd like it. I know I'm…

What's WRONG with me?
Alright, this might be a no-brainer for all of you medical experts and fitness geniuses... but, I really don't know what to think and I'm getting discouraged. Anyone know what could be going on with me? I've researched and researched, but couldn't find the answers. I had a baby in June of last year, 2010 via csection. My…
