Water with meals
Does anyone here not drink liquids with meals to help digestion? Just curious if it helps with gerd or other issues.

Hiking the AT
A few years ago my wife and I decided we were going to do something I have been talking about for years; hike the Appalachian Trail. We've been somewhat preparing ever since. And now the time is almost here. We leave mid-March and plan on being gone maybe six months. Its 2189 miles, 13 states and I forget how many…

Sodium
Is water retention weight caused by sodium intake 'real' weight gain? And is there a limit on how much excess water weight your body can hold? I would think at some point if your sodium intake leveled off then so would your body's water weight.

Recovery Meal
I've been trying to do a scoop of whey in 8 ounces of skim milk after workouts. That sound ok? There is just so much information out there and a lot of it contradictory. I hear chocolate milk is one of the better things you can do and figured this should be a good substitute. Thanks :drinker:

P90X n00b
I've had the dvds and pullup bar for a while and have now even ordered the bands. I keep thinking that Monday will be a good day to start. My mind keeps questioning me though, "How you going to 'bring it' 90 days in a row?" Probably I am just over thinking it and should just start and go for it. I mean others can fit it in…

Self-Concious
I'm doing fine. I have MFP post on Facebook some of the things I do. Weigh loss and exercise in particular. I was feeling good about everything too. Until... I got near the 50 pound mark. I probably have 30 or so to go. I put 100 pound loss as my goal but really want to get into size 36 pants comfortably and see. So…

My Morning NSV
I woke up today (an NSV in itself :-)) and I was thinking about my day. Thinking I had an 'easy' 2 mile run scheduled for the day. Until recently I would have never, ever thought I would consider two miles to be easy but I do now. And usually it is. YAY!

Help, Low Blood Pressure?
Hi. I am on meds for slight high blood pressure and have been for about 5 years now. This year I have lost 40+ pounds and started exercising regularly. I am trying to build up to running a 10K in September. Anyways, today I jogged 4 miles for the first time. I was indoors at the gym and did half on the track and half on…

My NSV
January 11th I was barely squeezing into 44s. Today I have on a pair of 38s. :-) And I had to buy new, smaller workout shorts because the old ones kept bagging down and my legs would rub together. RAWR (tried to post pics but haven't figured that out yet :grumble: ) July 17th 2010 July 3rd 2011

Pre and Post Workout Meals
I do mostly cardio but also a couple days of strength training too. I like to run about an hour after a meal, usually oatmeal and eggs but I find myself still full after a workout and I don't really want to eat if I am full. All the literature though advises a post workout recovery meal with some quick proteins and carbs…
