Traveling to Omaha
I'll be traveling to Omaha in a few weeks for work and wanted to know if anyone could help with a good place to run or a gym to go workout at. I workout and run early in the morning so just looking for something for a couple of days while I'm there. Thanks!

Lots of women friends
To my fellow male mfp'ers, do you have more men or women as friends? I seem to have ended up with mostly women friends, which is great, but I don't want to come off looking like I only look for women friends on here. I often go through my friends list and delete people not active for over a month and maybe that's where…

AB workout with injured knee
I've been boxing, kickboxing, and doing interval classes 6 days a week for a year now. It actually started at 2-3 days a week about 3 years ago, anyway I have an old knee injury that has happened again. It doesn't keep me from walking or standing, but I really need to stay away from squats, running, bouncing and such for a…

Speed Bag
I just put up a speed bag at home. I believe it's an Everlast 9x6, kind of a big bag, so I bought a smaller one. I think it's an 8x5. I've been able to work in double and triple punches as well as forward/backward and just started elbows. Just wondering if anyone actually has a good formula for a speed bag work out? I…

Please help my sister-in-law
Okay I know it's a last ditch effort, but worth a shot. My sister-in-law needs some help. Please if you have a FB account, go to The New Kansas City Fitness Weight Loss Challenge and find Annie Burger. First you have to "like" the KC fitness page then "like" her post. She is wearing an aqua short sleeve dress pointing at…

Herbalife suppliments
I'm not a huge suppliment guy, but I am using a protein shake and pre-workout powder(mostly for power not energy). I feel like I get a lot out of each one, but they are a little pricey although as far as I'm concerned, worth it. I have seen good results. I should add, I'm close to my ideal weight so I'm not really in the…

iPhone HRM with iMapMyRun
I recently added iMapMyRun app and saw that I can use a heart rate monitor with my iPhone. Has anyone used this? I was curious if it is wireless or not and how well it works. Thanks!

Your MFP friend everyone needs....
What I mean here is, who is that one friend that you have here who is always there to comment, give supportive words and criticism when necessary, and also a huge inspiration because of their own journey. Whether it be their circumstances, facing adversity, raising a family alone, or a wonderful success in losing weight…

My friends are dropping like flies...
I started my real weightloss journey the first week in January of this year, 2011, and have made some AMAZING friends. The first one kerriBB37 is still logging in every day and I've seen her get engaged and lose a good bit of weight, it's been awesome to have a great friend like her to go through this journey with. Also…

Funny NSV
So I was brushing my teeth this morning after the shower(after the shower is an important detail), and I noticed that as I vigorously brushed, I didn't have anything(above the waste) jiggle. I'm so used to feeling it all jiggle, but I honestly couldn't see or feel it, hopefully it's gone for good.

Goal met...only 8 weeks in the making
Not sure if this belongs in the exercise thread, but anyway here it is. About 8 weeks ago I started doing pull-ups. I have been working out for about a year and a half, but mostly cardio routines. Boxing, kickboxing, interval and just this year started to join the forge(weights) class since I'm close to my goal weight. I…

PMD Amplify XL Protein
I've seen some people mention websites for getting protein powders but can't seem to find them in the search. This is the powder I'm looking for. Anyone know an online source? Anyone have experience with this product? It's supposed to have really high quality predigested proteins that you really get more out of. It's a…

Something inspiring or something funny...
Thought I would share some of my favorite quotes. I keep them in a file and love to find new good ones. Anyone have ones they like??? “In the end, everything will be okay. If it isn’t okay - it isn’t the end.” --Unknown “If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.” – Unknown You can tell a lot about a…

I dare you to...
challenge yourself on a personal level. Challenge ahead! At first glance, this may seem very unselfish, but really it will make you feel so good. Here it is: Ask someone this simple question then FOLLOW THROUGH as best you can. It can be someone you love, someone you have a tough relationship with or just a stranger.....…

12 week challenge done, now what??
I just finished a 12 week challenge at my gym and dropped 25 pounds(the last 5-6 were water and came back which I expected). I am now close to being in the healthy BMI range, 179lbs and 5'10". My body fat is somewhere around 20%(scale says 20.5% I figure it's probably within 3-5%). My workouts include 60 minute classes in…

Last minute water weight shed
I'm sure I'm going to get a bunch of people replying that I'm not being "healthy" and that I shouldn't do what I'm asking, but before you post something like that, please read my whole post or better yet read my profile, it might inspire you. I'm heading toward the end of a 12 week weight loss challenge and I found out…

How do you make 3 eggs = 100 calories (not just whites)
I have been trying to eat more for breakfast the last couple of weeks after my morning workouts and have been trying some different things. If you really don't like just egg whites, you can make 3 eggs = about 100 calories. I just use 2 egg whites and a third whole egg. One egg = 70 cal + 2 whites @ 32 cal. = 102 cal. And…

Kansas City Trolley Run
I've got a family team put together for this 4 mile run/walk and will be walking with a group, but thought I would invite anyone who lives nearby or likes to travel to run in charity runs. This is the largest timed 4 mile event in the country as far as participation, I think there were around 10,000 people last year.…

Daily Ab workout, maybe a week challenge?
I work out 5 days a week, not Sunday or Wednesday, early morning doing cardio type interval or boxing/kickboxing 60 min classes. I would like to add a workout at home doing abs in the evening. I've seen that the same abs should not be done two days in a row. Could someone suggest a short (anywhere from 10-20min) workout…

Tough Office environment
I work in an office with about 40-50 people and we often entertain/train clients. This usually entails, leftover doughnuts in the morning and cookies after lunch. Then there is the snack table where people just bring in stuff they baked or had leftover, cupcakes, cookies, candy from holidays. As if this wasn't bad enough…

For my son...
Hello all. I joined MFP several weeks ago when I started a 12 week shape up contest at my gym. I have been working out at the gym for about a year and a half and dropped about 15 lbs but have been maintaining right around 195-200. For my height, I know that is too much, but I do feel a lot better and know that I am in much…

Timing for certain foods
I work out at my gym in the mornings for an hour doing either boxing, kickboxing or some sort of interval class. Each one is mostly cardio but also has a lot of core work as well as legs and arms. I understand that eating right is the real key to losing weight, but I'm just not sure that I'm making the right choices during…
