Canned Food Nutritional Values
So tonight after the gym I decided to make myself some tilapia and have some sweet peas with it. I know canned veggies are HIGH in sodium but I have a question......... Do those values reflect not draining the water and consuming that? Or does draining the water out not affect the nutritional value as stated on the label?

Trimmed, Shaved, or As Is?!
I asked this question a while back ago as I decided to rid myself of chest hair. I decided to try the Nair method and well, yeah.....If you are a person who has to try things yourself instead of listening to all the advice given to you then have fun. I should have listened and just wow. Important note: Never put nair on…

Dear High School Kids At The Gym
I'm glad to see that there are some kids out there that are taking the initiative and going to the gym to exercise instead of not being active. This post is not to insult people, but to rant a little bit about what my day consisted of at the gym. I would like to express my thanks to the two of you in giving me a good laugh…

The Juice Stop
I think this is more of a midwest shop, but basically they server real fruit smoothies. You can also have nutrient shots or other items (such as whey) added to your drink. Has anyone who has heard of this place tried it or know much about how "healthy" it is for you. It seems like it wouldn't be bad for you as long as they…

Going For Another 15lbs!
I've been a member here for almost a year now and I can attest for what a great tool MFP is to have and use.

NSV With Biggest Impact
Went out shopping with the wife today for some summer clothes. Needed to get a new pair of shorts so I was excited to see where I would be with the size. When I started my journey I would have worn a size 36 waist, possibly a size 38......I'd suck it in to stay at a 36. I picked out a pair of 34 and a pair of 36. The 36…

Amazing Mayo Replacement
I've been craving a tuna fish sandwich lately but growing up we'd always have mayo in it. Well I knew I couldn't use mayo, and really didn't like the idea of low fat mayo either. So I tried something to replace it I had heard about and it worked amazing! 2 Tbsp Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt 0% Fat 1Tbsp Mustard (Add different…

To Much Sugar?
So I've been going over my sugar close to every day I've been doing this and the only thing I can account it to is the amount of fruits that I eat. I try to lay off processed sugars through packaged fruits but even fresh fruits are setting me over my limit..... Is this something I need to be concerned about and cut back on?

Motivational Music
I'm sure there are plenty of people here who listen to music when they work out, but my question is, what music/songs do you listen to? I enjoy listening to certain rock and dubsteb styled songs while I run or strength train. "Salt In the Wound" - Pendulum "I Get Off" - Halestorm Those two are my personal favorites to hear…
