Dirty old man at the gym
So I see this old man at the gym. He is overweight, wearing khakis and suspenders, and walking with a cane. I think to myself, good for him. Until I get on the angled leg curl machine. The equipment in my gym is super close together, so when people walk by, you have to pull your legs in, or they don't have room to walk by.…

Fat2Fit radio question
On fat2fit radio, when calculating bmr/tdee! I have only heard it suggested on here, to use the military body fat calculator, which says I am 35.6% body fat. I have been using that one.

Girls... My funny NSV... tell me yours!

Changing tastebuds?
Do you have a food that was your favorite before beginning your weightloss journey, that you gave up, and no longer liked when you tried it again? Mine is ranch dressing. I used to eat it on everything. 80 days on mfp and I hadn't had a drop. Today I worked out hard, so I allowed myself some on my salad, and I didn't even…

Rest before 5k?
Running my first 5k in two weeks. Actually a Dirty Girl Mud Run. Was wondering how many rest days do you give yourself before doing a 5k? I don't want to over do it before the run, but also don't want to go too many days without exercising. Thanks!
