Go see a Doctor - Just a thought
If you have what could be a medical problem how about going to see the appropriate medical professional. Would you ask a random stranger in the street for medical advice? So why do people ask that of people on the Internet? Doctors spend a lot of time training so let them use all those years of training. Just a thought

The Nice People Thread
Why are there so many Nice people on MFP. Every time I post something or ask a Question on my News feed people give me constructive thought out answers and sometimes even cute Cat Gifs. I may not always agree but these people are so nice it's just wrong. It's unnatural there shouldn't be nice helpful people on this site I…

Psychometric Testing
After the posts I've seen today I really think there should be Psychometric Testing before people are allowed on MFP either that or just check that they can tie their own shoelaces. Just a thought

Oh Dear MFP suppots Detox and cleanses
Oh dear I really question that MFP as a site should include this on their blog as by posting it is they are supporting such ideas. Luckily my liver and kidneys work very well and I've just come from the toilet (TMI) so as with everyone else my body is perfectly capable of cleansing itself…

Don't throw food Away
There is one thing I really hate when people start throwing out food because they are on a 'Diet'. There are people in this world who have no food who struggle to feed their families. if you don't want the food donate it it to your local food bank. Give it to your neighbours. Donate it to the local homeless shelter…

I need a Water Alternative
I need an Alternative to water. I can't stop drinking it. As we all know the fluoride in tap water is bad (it says so on the internet), as well as many other things that are picked up from public water. Also of course you can't drink bottled water because it's been processed so it isn't clean. So I need an alternative that…

Endurance or Sprint Training for Zombie Apocalypse?
I'm trying to decide if I should concerntrate on endurance or sprinting for the oncoming Zombie apocalypse. If the Zombies are fast (e.g. Resident Evil type) obviously some sprint training would be needed to escape them. Though if they are slower but more of them (Walking Dead, Dawn of the Dead) more endurance training…

Overweight for Christmas (only a day late)
I don't normally set weightloss goals as i think they can be a Negative influence a few weeks ago though I realised I was heading rapidly towards the overweight Category. I decided then I'd like to be Overweight for Christmas. Annoyingly I missed that target but by just one day! So this boxing day I'm overweight. From…

Repopulating my Friends list
My friends list has started to thin out with people leaving not logging and giving up. I still have a core of fantastic support but would gladly welcome a few more varied individuals. My profile explains most things about me I've been here 10 months and still have 40 or 50 pounds to go. Variety is the spice of life so no…

Anyone run with a Headtorch?
Anyone run with a head torch. The nights are drawing in and as much as I can get a lot of runs in in daylight there are some I will have to do in the dark or reduced light. Where I live in mid winter it sometimes doesn't really get light until 10am and can be dark again by 4pm. Its quite rural so even the routes around…

My 100 pounds Down Post
So here I am 100 pounds down now who would have thought it. Just a little background for those not on my friends list. I'm 45 I live in Scotland and I care for my ill and disabled wife (I had to give up work to care for her 24 hours a day a few years back). In the 1990s I used to be a keen amateur endurance cyclist (mainly…

Runners and Wind (not the Weather type)
OK if you don't want to hear about toilet habits leave now .................... (I do expect this thread to degrade to a base level but serious answers will also be greatly received) Ok as a reasonably new runner I've noticed my bodies creation of wind that wishes to expel itself especially on longer runs. In fact on one…

I'm a Runner!!
Today I think I can officially call myself a runner. I've been struggling getting into this running business for a while. I tried the C25K but didn't get on with it I don't like wearing headphones while doing it and the constant listening to instructions bit didn't wok for me. So for the last 2 to 3 months I've been doing…

Waterlogged - Hydration in exercise
Wasn't sure if to post this here or in the food section as it's more exercise orientated I thought here made sense. It's an interesting article on hydration in exercise based around ultra running but interesting to other sports none the less http://www.irunfar.com/2012/07/waterlogged-a-dogma-shattering-book.html
