Who is your Doppelgänger?
Who is your Doppelgänger, your double??? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppelganger) I've been told I resemble two people and both in which I think is absolutely and positively friggin' hilarious. First person is the pregnant "MAN" that was on Oprah and the second is Ropati Pitoitua. It's funny because I even seen the…

Crossfit Getting Mainstream
Are you happy with seeing crossfit getting more mainstream? I am hearing/seeing lots more people get into it. I am happy they found a great way of exercising but I don't like the fact that I am seeing a bunch of gyms popping up everywhere offering these classes in my area. I am knocking these new places and am sure they…

New York MFP'ers
Hey there new friends! I've been on here for awhile now and have awesome friends from all over the world and it's simply amazing. I'm thinking about migrating up north for a bit and would love to have some NY friends that I can watch how you train during winter months and such. Now go out there and eat those exercise…

NSV - I know others around me would appreciate.
I used to be known for tearing the curtains off the walls with my snoring and I have cpap machine for sleep apnea. Well, recently I had a friend over and I decided to put the machine away and she told me I didn't snore one iota. I still use the machine b/c I have a great nights sleep with it but now am confident to stay…

Favorite Profile Pictures (yours/theirs)
I've tried to mix mine up a bit so people can see my progression over the months. I wanted to give a nice head shot so people can get a better connection with me but also want to have a full body shot as well to show the hard work I put in and am proud of. (haven't done shirtless yet, but may throw that in the mix.. next…

Comparing Workout Routines
My question to you is: Do you set out your goal each week in advance? Like train 4-5 days at 30 plus minutes. i.e Monday, run.. Tuesday, elliptical, Wednesday, swim. I know some of you are doing courses like Insanity, 30DS, and things like that so that is your schedule and I still like to know what you have planned. I have…

Getting a Tattoo?
I noticed that a couple of my friends that started working out are getting tattoos now. A trend I've been seeing.. anyways. I have one I got many years ago of my initials b/c I had no clue what I wanted. I just turned 18 and had a paycheck that was burning a hole in my pocket so I said what the heck. Are you thinking about…

My appreciation (I'm 7 month in)
Just felt like letting my friends know this is how I feel about them. No matter what size or shape you are.. you're attitude, personality, and character make you beautiful. So what if you go off track here or there. Balance is the key and once you find it, surround yourself with people who understand that then it won't…

NSV - Taller, really? lol
This week I've gone out a bit more than usual and ran into a few people that I haven't seen in some time and found it amusing that two of them said the same thing. "Hey, I didn't realize you were that tall." (little over 6') At my brothers party just a few weeks ago I was standing next to one of my older brothers who is in…

Exercise during lunch?
I usually take an hour for lunch (no access to a shower) and was thinking about adding 30 minutes of walking to my daily routine just because I can. Any of you walking during your lunch or doing a full workout? I like going after work but I figure what the hay this is only going to help.

Sweaty Clothes, Where Do They Go?
Just curious... I wanted to know do you throw your wet, stanky clothes in the hamper, hang them in the shower or throw them in the washer, or other when you finish working out? I actually have two hampers in my closest one for workout attire (I sweat like no ones business) and another for just worn clothes. I used to hang…

Getting Asked Out
I'm usually the one doing it but as of late I've been noticing that more and more females are the ones doing the asking out. I like that! I'm not sure if it's my age or the different venues I've been going to or even if it's the fact I feel I have more confident now and maybe that's showing but either way I'm digging it.…

How will you celebrate your Labor Day weekend?
I plan on being with family and friends this whole weekend for movies and some bbq'ing. Not sure about the beach on Monday, if the weather is great then I may just opt for it. I'd love to see what my MFP friends are doing. (no traveling for me this holiday)

Live in France or Speak French?
I'm made a little goal for myself that when I hit a desired weight I will travel somewhere and a few days ago I decided it would be Paris. I just started taking a home study course on learning French and wanted to know if there were any MFP members here that either live in France or speak French. I would love to add you on…

Crossfit Friends.
I've been on MFP for a few months but not until a couple of weeks ago did I know about the community. I'm new into crossfit and was looking to have a few more friends that may also be doing this. You don't have to be into crossfit to friend me, I just ask that you are somewhat interactive. What has two thumbs and don't…

Costumes?
Anyone excited to wear that special costume by October? If I didn't make my own I had to buy the Adult XX large size and those costumes were limited. I am hoping that by Halloween I will be able to get into Large, that way I will have plenty more to choose from? Do you have a special costume you want to get into? What is…

Cooking with Music, Do You?
I know I'm not the only one who does this but do you jam out and dance a little when you cook. The music sets my mood so depending on what I am cooking will determine what kind of music genre I will play. The kitchen I have now is too small but the house I was in before, man you're lucky if I didn't do a back spin while…

Plantar Fasciitis?
I've been doing lots of running and the last week or two I've noticed some pains on my right inner ankle. Also on top of my ankle it's tender. I try to give myself rest on the weekends but during the week I am trying to push as hard as I can. I am thinking I should lay off of it completely but this working out thing is…

Trying to be better than my '92 self.
I recall the days in high school playing basketball and being able to do tons of pull ups and dunking a basketball. Wow, how my bad habits thrown that out the door. But I decided to do something about it. I looked at my old pics and saw how far I let myself go and that's not what I want in life so in Feb 2011 I decided to…

Are you using a Heart Rate Monitor.
Are you using a HRM? I try to push myself all the time throughout my training but maybe I need to get one just to check if I'm on track. I'm not looking for an excuse to buy something but I wanted your feedback to see if you are using one or not. If so, what brand/model do you have.

more than 2lbs a week?
I'll be honest, I know I could lose more than 1-2 lbs a week if I went hard with my nutrition but everyone tells me this is a safe and healthy pace. I'm exercising 4-5 times a week and was thinking about bumping that up more or cutting back on my adult beverage intake. If I do either one of those then I will shed weight…

My first Race!
My first race will be the Tough Mudder in Florida I heard about this competition a few months back and I've never tried anything like that and know that it will be a huge success for me if I was able to compete in it. I created an invite for my friends on facebook and didn't realize how many of them wanted to join in with…
