Happy Australia Day!!!!!
Hi to everyone out there in MFP land. Just thought I'd wish you all (especially my Aussie mates) a happy Australia Day!! It's a chance for us down-to-earth blokes and top shielas to relax and have a chinwag, usually while chuckin' a few mystery bags on the barbie and downing a few frothies. Above all though, it's a chance…

The MFP mentors!
Just thought I'd make this thread primarily for the newbies, but for anyone who needs some more support. There are an awful lot of people with some great knowledge in this place, and some people may be too shy to ask strangers for friend requests/ongoing support. So in the interest of helping people who might not put…

High heart rate for novice runners?
More out of curiosity than anything else, but I get the feeling I'm just not built to be a runner... As a bit of background info, I exercise regularly (4-5 gym sessions per week, all with some form of cardio), and while I'm no athlete I don't consider myself rediculously unfit either. The strange thing I have noticed…

Any former fat boys out there?
I'm just in need of a bit of motivation at the moment, and while I'm generally travelling ok, I'm going through that point in time where I'm struggling to picturemy eng state or 'finished product'. I know we have a lot of people on here who have been fit/slim in the past and have re-discovered their former glory, but sadly…

Have you ever stuck your head...
... onto another persons body? I have heard from a few people that it is a good tool to put a picture of your face onto the body you would like to end up with (ie cut out from a magazine) and to put this up somewhere you can see it everyday such as your bathroom mirror. I'm just curios to see if anyone has tried this or…

Tracking progress (lifters)
Hey all, I'm just wondering what people are using to track their weights and progress with their strength training. At the moment I'm just working ol' school with a piece of paper and pencil, and am wondering if people have recommendations for a program (web based or excel etc), or if there is a good iPhone app floating…

There's no such thing as an NSV!
I'll preface this by saying I know it is a potentially pointless thread... but I like a good rant as much as the next person :) Today I am just musing on the unhealthy relationship we have with the scales, and the fact that every 'lifestyle' program (commonly known as weightloss programs, which further emphasises my point)…

Is this enough protein after weights session?
In addition to my regular gym activity, I have just started incorporating a couple of dedicated heavy lifting sessions per week (1 hr each). My question is whether I need to change my breakfast (which I eat straight after my workout) or suppliment it with more protein. What I have now is cereal (Protein 1st) with skim milk…

Help with my exercise program please
I'm not a gym newbie, but after time, money and motivation being a little tight over the last couple of years, I'm finally back at the gym (and loving it). I've eased back in over the last couple of months, and am now at four sessions a week. I do a varied mix of cardio and resistance training (a new session each day…

Yet another new Australian :P
Just thought I'd pop in and say hi. I've now been using mfp for a little over a month and have found it really useful (if for no other reason than not having that extra snack 'cos I'll have to record it later :tongue: ). Combining my (somewhat) more responsible eating habits with getting back to the gym has helped me to…
