Blender debate!
Hey all - So I've been getting back into the changing eating habits thing, and one thing that has always worked for me is smoothies. They're delicious, nutritious, and generally pretty simple. The problem I have is that my blender (Ninja) sucks when it comes to making smoothies. It leaves chunks, or can't power through…

Measuring food... Weight VS Volume
Alright, so I've been measuring my food diligently for a while, and this morning I happened to look at the back of the cereal box. It says a serving size is 1 cup (34g)... so, out of sheer curiosity, I weighed 1 cup worth of cereal. Turns out it's 15g. WTF? I did this with another cereal (because I like to mix and match,…

Ladies! Shopping "advice"! (And guys too!)
So, since I KNOW that I will be meeting my goal... I kind of want to get a little something "sexy" to wear if I go out with my friends.

I have a very near and dear friend to me that I haven't been able to see since 2010, but I recently found that he's deployed to Afghanistan... Is there ANY way to get an address to mail a letter to him?

What is so innately wrong with these people that they get their rocks off making people feel/look/sound bad in some form or another? Are they so disturbed that it makes them feel good? Or is it because they want someone else to…

Alternative to Push Ups? [Injury!]
Just went to the doctor, and was diagnosed with shoulder tendonitis (infraspinatus and teres minor tendons) as well as an acromion hook type 2... and she said "no more push ups, not even on your knees" until the tendonitis has subsided. I'm doing Tapout XT and there's a lot of pushups... and I need to find an appropriate…

TapoutXT & Macros?
Hey everyone! I'm doing TapoutXT, but only sticking to a healthier diet (I say healthier, because my diet isn't perfect) because my doctor didn't approve of the nutrition guide for it. I try to stick to about 1400-1500 calories per day, and the pre-set totals for carbs and fat on MFP are always way above what I actually…

31 y/o, trying to drop 65 lbs - fruitless efforts!
Hi everyone, I'm a 31 year old full-time worker who is trying to drop 65 pounds... quickly, but safely.
