The joys of office broscience - misguided food/nutrition advice
I just had to sit and suffer through overhearing a coworker go on, ad nauseam through my cubicle wall, how eating carbs after dinner will mean they don't get digested but get immediately turned into evil evil adipose! Apparently everything else if fine, just not doze evil carbz. The evens that I can't = all of them Sorry,…

Recommendations for a gps/hrm watch
Hey guys, anyone have recommendations for a combination gps/hrm watch? Preferably that can sync wirelessly to something, bonus points if it also syncs to MFP? Oh, and if possible, reasonably priced, say under $200? I currently have a Polar HRM and a Garmin GPS watch and am looking to streamline. I apologize if this has…

Let's not allow the evil few to bring us down
In times like this, as much as I feel tempted to lose all faith in humanity, it is so much better to think positive. I read this on facebook and it really resonated with me, so I thought I'd share. "Boston. F*cking horrible. I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity." But I was…

stick-on bras: do they actually work?
So, I really like this dress: but it would obviously be impossible to wear a regular bra with it. Does anyone have any experience with those stick-on, or adhesive bras? Do they actually work? And if so, any recommendations for brands? I know, kind of a weird question! Lol

Question about the body's tendency to adapt to exercises
So this is a purely curiosity-based question, as I'm already beyond my weight loss goal and absolutely happy with my workouts! I know the body is good at adapting to the same, repeated workouts that you do and will start to burn fewer calories. I am curious though, if this still happens to a degree when you do the…

The 'Dating Game' and why I think it's a load of garbage!

So we always talk about our NSV's (non scale victories, like compliments from coworkers, or fitting into a smaller size) but I want to know who has had lifestyle NSVs, actual changes in thought patterns or habits that show you're truly changing your lifestyle, not just dieting!

Gym starers -thoughts? feelings? outrage?
So, a question for the ladies and gents, although probably more ladies will respond because, I don't know, just seems like more men are gym starers. But I could be wrong!

re racking free weights: is it as tough as brain surgery?
So it's a Monday and I feel like posting a topic to entertain myself. I've noticed, especially recently, I assume due to the influx of resolutioners, that apparently re racking free weights might possibly be slightly more difficult than performing brain surgery for some people. Is it really so hard to NOT put the 30 lb…
