How do you work abs?
Loving Stronglifts so far, but a big part of my older workouts was always an ab component. So how do you work your abs around the routines?

Looking to support and be supported!
Not new per say, and I've posted dozens of times before, but since I came back after a few month-long uh... sabbatical... I feel like my group of MFPers just don't support anymore, and same with some newer additions. No comments, responses, advice, etc. - I thought that's why we were all here! I know it makes my day to…

Anyone on Slimming World?
I'm about to ease into Slimming World (I say ease because today is Thanksgiving and in addition to copious lamb and pie, I can't buy healthy food 'til tomorrow night). Anyone else here ever tried it out? I heard of it through a blogger I follow and she's had tremendous success after only 3 weeks. Since the website doesn't…

Lifting Beginner
Hey guys, I've been doing some of the few lifting moves I know on my own lately and enjoy it so much more than machines or anything else I've done. I only stop because I have to, not because I'm tired and I want to. As someone who hates exercise as a rule, it's a nice change. I'd like to get into Olympic-style moves and…

Getting the job - what have you done?
So I've recently applied for a dream job, which I've never ever thought would exist. It excites me and I've never felt there was a place I more belong. I wrote a witty and passionate cover letter with more about why I want this career and why this agency, and sent it along with my resume, so now we wait. I feel like I'll…

Returning & being happy with my body
I was an active member up until the end of June and have been away for quite some time now. I guess I was just unhappy eating so little for so long and seeing nearly no results (yes, I did increase my calories but that just stagnated progress - I'm beginning to think that years of yo-yo dieting have killed my metabolism).…

Is 1200 too much?
Not what it sounds like, I don't WANT to go lower, but it's been going very slowly and it seems like even when I push myself to be good and work out several times a week, I have the same results as when I eat half a pizza one day. I've been losing 1lb a week so far, and it's slowing from that now. I know I know - the…

Body Acceptance :)
My best friend has struggled with weight all her life - both from overeating to under eating. She is very overweight and on top of that, has many anxieties and social issues holding her back in her everyday life. She's wanted to eat well ever since I met her and she's never been happy with the person she is, both…

Looking for ways to prepare Vermicelli?
The healthier the better, but I love this little noodle and find it so hard to use practically. Not a fan of Thai or anything so I'm limited. Anyone use this regularly?

How to work out when sore?
I'm making myself work out every day this week (except tomorrow) and I'm feeling quite stiff and also have a pulled muscle in my one calve. My abs and arms are still sore from a workout a couple days ago, and I already worked lower body yesterday so what would you suggest I should do? Work through the stiffness and just do…

Does anyone use HotPants?
Anyone have exercise clothing by Zaggora - HotPants, HotTops, etc.? I got a pair of the HotPants shorts last summer on sale and used them when I used Weight Watchers. I wasn't sure if they did anything (I did sweat A LOT) but still used them. This time around I notice that my hips are mich wider at this weight than they…

For Those Who Didn't Lose This Week
Just a place for those of us who didn't lose much - or at all - in our last weigh-in. It's hard to see so much hard work go into losing 3 ounces and sometimes makes you wonder what you're giving up for it. Of course, stay positive, etc. etc. - next one is only around the corner! Who else got stuck recently??

Breakfasts on the GO!
I love sleep so I don't waste time waking up any earlier than I have to in the mornings to be at work for 9am. I usually grab some sort of cereal bar - granola, Nutri-Grain, All-Bran - but feel like I could do better. What do you guys eat in the AM that can be thrown in your bag for eating on the commute?

Weight Watchers Defector
Hello all! I used WW last year to drop about 20lbs and naturally gained at least half of it back (yes that's right, I don't weight myself if I'm scared. Just based on clothing). Of course it doesn't seem like much compared to so many other goals, but I've struggled with this vast fluctuation for most of my life and when…
