Anyone know anything about a Hoist V4 Fitness System? I ran across a listing for this item on Craigslist and am considering buying.

Pearls Of Wisdom
Something I learned from my Wednesday workout... When seriously re-hydrating (it was near 90 that day), do not double knot the drawstring on your workout pants. Just sayin'.

Slow Recovery After Workout Issue
Sorry if this has been discussed before. I looked for a 'search' button but there doesn't seem to be one within the groups themselves. I lift 3 x a week, doing a full body routine each day which takes me 1.5 - 2 hrs to complete. I take a protein shake with me and drink it in the car on the way home and am making sure to…

Needing advice: At goal weight but high body fat %.
Hello, First of all, thanks to both Sara and SideSteel for starting this group and being so willing to pass along their knowledge to help others. It is very much appreciated! I am somewhat lost at this point and am looking for advice on what to do in my situation. In 2009 I was 130 lbs and in decent shape. Not great but…

Weight Lifting: Hard & Fast vs Slow & Steady
There is a gentleman at my gym who works out the same day and time as I do. He's caught my attention because of his work out pace. It is fast and furious. No matter which machine or body weight exercise he does (such as pushups) he does the reps as fast as he can. I'm working with an extremely knowledgable trainer who…

Protein Powder
I find that I have a really tough time hitting my protein macro without it. I can come close some days but on others I'm further off than Iike, especially on lifting days, so I supplement. Right now I'm using Jay Robb Vanilla. I have a real problem with sucralose and can't eat/drink anything that contains it.…

Alfredo Sauce
I was looking for healthier ingredients to make an alfredo sauce and discovered a new product at our local grocery store: Green Mountain Farms Greek Cream Cheese. From their website: 2X More Protein 50% Less Fat 25% Less Calories 25% Less Sodium Plus Live and Active Cultures I came up with this recipe for alfredo sauce and…

Calf Raise Block alternative
I had asked my husband to make a calf raise block for me from a video I'd found on a link posted somewhere here on MFP. He was going to do it this weekend and we went out to pick up the supplies. Before heading to Lowes we stopped at Target. They are clearancing out some of their fitness supplies (so if anyone needs…

Shrimp with Mini Piccolini Pasta and Yellow Squash
I tried a new recipe tonight and it turned out to be very tasty (my 12 yr old even liked it) and relatively healthy so I thought I'd share. Nutritional Info for the entire meal (including 2 oz cooked pasta (Barilla Mini Piccolini) and 1 TBS Parmesan cheese): Calories: 389 Carbs: 45 Fat: 10 Protein: 27 Sodium: 280…

Exercise Calculator
I've found that when comparing MFP's exercise calculator to my HRM, MFP tends to be a tad generous in it's calculations. I found another EC that looks like it might be fairly accurate. I'd be interested to see if others with an HRM keyed in a few values and how accurate they found the results. Could be a great resource for…

Dear "I don't associate with those who eat under 1200 c"...
I am relatively new to MFP (after a short stint of giving MFP a try last year and then stopping) and have spent quite a bit of time these last couple of weeks reading posts here and trying to educate myself as to the best approach to lose weight and become healthy and fit. I have learned a great deal and truly appreciate…

Beginner Lifter Advice: NRFLFW or StrongLift 5 x 5?
I joined a gym about 4 weeks ago and have been (inconsistently) using the weight machines with a program designed by their trainer. I knew my DH had free weights in the basement but never knew exactly what he had (yeah, we've been married nearly 16 yrs LOL. But in my defense he bought them before we were married and before…

Newbie 'What am I doing wrong?' question....
I started using MFP 11 days ago. I'm following the diet guidelines pretty closely (I think) and exercising every day. Most days I think I'm doing pretty well on the exercise front. In addition to what I log in my exercise diary, I also take Taekwondo classes 2 - 3 times a week. There's just no way for me to know how many…
