Weighing salad dressing
I've searched the forums but haven't found a satisfactory answer, so forgive me if this thread has been done before. My salad dressing says that 30 mL is one serving but I would like to know how much that would be in grams so that I can weigh it and be more accurate. I know that 1 mL of water = 1g but I don't think that I…

Ketosis/High Fat Diet
Anyone had any success with a Ketogenic diet? I am thinking about trying it and want to have a few friends on here that have done it. I'd really like to see a few diaries where people made the macros work. Add me or let me know how it went for you!

Ladies 5'2''-5'4'' what is your goal weight?
I would really like to know how much ladies around my height (5'3'') are going for... I would be thrilled to weigh somewhere around 130. How about you? And what is the lowest weight you've been at as an adult (not counting high school weights :smile:)? The lowest weight I've ever been is 133, when I was around 22 years old.

A love for Broscience...
As I'm sure you all know, there are many "rules" and ideas when it comes to weight loss, nutrition, fitness, strength gains, etc that people consider to be broscience. Do you follow any bro rules? What do you think is the dumbest practice supported by broscience? I eat mostly bro foods because they are easy to count and…

Intermittent Fasting friends!
I've recently started the Leangains approach (daily 16 hour fast and 8 hour eating window) and I'm LOVING it. I'd like to have some friends who are doing IF as well. Whether you're doing Eat, Stop, Eat, 5:2, or Leangains doesn't matter to me :smile:

If one more person tries to sell me training...
I am going to SNAP. At least twice a week I have either a personal trainer or sales associate at my gym try to sell me training. Not only have I lost 40 pounds and 9% body fat since I started there but I go religiously 4-5 times/week. Have I mentioned that I was a trainer for over five years at Gold's and 24 Hour. I…

Cardio or No?
I want to hear from people that have lost weight doing cardio and those who did it without. I am very torn as to whether I should continue doing cardio. Currently I do strength training 3-4 times/week and usually add some cardio 2-3 times/week. I don't want to lose too much lean mass but I don't want my weight loss to…

Wearing makeup to the gym
I see a lot of ladies at the gym I go to now wear a full face of makeup just to work out. I can't understand why someone would put an entire face of makeup on unless they weren't going to work hard enough to sweat it off. Don't get me wrong, I don't always go completely bare faced. I am very fair with blonde eyebrows, so I…

Obsessed with the Scale
Anytime I get back on the wagon and start eating the way I know I should and going to the gym consistently I find myself obsessed with weighing myself. I'm not talking multiple times a day or anything but every single morning. Wake up and the first thing I do is weigh myself. I know that you are supposed to try to wait a…
