Ok Guys tell me I’m wrong.
That hands down, the sexiest thing in the world has got to be a girl in a sundress wearing cowboy boots with her long hair blowing in the cool morning breeze. Lord help me.

Some muscle building questions for you lifters & bodybuilder
I have some questions concerning muscle building, specifically bicep/triceps muscles. I’ve been pretty successful with my weight loss and the majority of my exercise has been cardio (cardio has been very very good to me!) but I’m starting to transition to 50/50 weights vs cardio as I get nearer to my ultimate weight goals.…

Kinesio Tape - WTF?
Can someone please school me on this stuff? I've done some net research about it and without any first hand knowledge or reviews from anyone who's used it, it appears to me to be some sort of voodoo. Is there any scientific basis at all for it's use and is it anything more than a fad? Discuss...

Bad Food...
A Doctor was addressing a large audience at a meeting of health professionals. 'The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us…

Hey Old guys, this is for you.
Don’t get your panties in a bunch cause I called you old, I’m 52 so I got the right to call old where I see it. I stumbled onto this video and while I can’t and won’t comment on his advice as far a weightlifting and building muscle is concerned he is spot ****ing on where life is concerned. I’ve never seen him before and…

What has your weight loss done for you/your overall health?
As I’m sitting here at my desk trying not to go to sleep due to sheer boredom because I'm tired of typing reports I decided to check my pulse. I tend to keep track of it just out of curiosity, before I started losing weight my resting pulse was around 65-70bpm +/-. That was in a situation where I wasn’t doing anything…

Jawbone UP 24 & Android, a poor mix.
Jawbone UP 24 and Android, a waste of time… So I shopped around quite a bit and compared a variety of these devices, I asked here on this site and read pretty much everything I could find. I finally decided to buy one of the UP 24’s, because for my needs it seemed to be the best fit etc. I stopped by BestBuy yesterday…

Nutella, what's up with that?
I see people on here just raving about it and stating that they can't get enough of it. Personally if I was on a deserted island and it was the only food source I would rather starve to death! I hate that crap, think it tastes just awful, what's the big deal with Nutella? Have at it!

Need some help with some food logging.
I have no idea how to log an item, I prepared a large boneless pork chop, baked, for dinner. When I tried to log it in my diary I realized that there are numerous choices for essentially the same pork chop in the database and they have huge differences in their calorie/sodium listings. So will somebody please tell me how…

Question about exercise vs heart rate…
I’m not sure of the best way to approach this so I figured that I would ask the professionals. When I’m on a treadmill or stationary bike should I strive to keep my heart rate up or is it best to run it up to the max and then slow it down and then run it back up again? The reason for my question is that the stationary bike…

Question about HRM's
This should be a pretty simple question... Is there any reason for me to get a HRM if I'm not eating back my calories? Maybe it's an oversimplification to ask the question or maybe I just don't understand what else a HRM can do for me. In reading through a bunch of the HRM questions it seems that lots of people are worried…

New way to motivate myself to stay at the gym longer.
Wow I think I spent almost 3 hours at the gym this afternoon, I spent almost all of that time working/exercising. My secret??? I locked my keys in my truck…. After multiple phone calls to the locksmith(s) I finally got the call back that they weren’t coming, rat *kitten*… It’s snowing here and it seems everybody is afraid…

Going to a restaurant when you really don't want to go...
I just did something odd, at least for me. I’m going to meet my soon to be ex-wife for dinner this evening and we’re meeting at a restaurant, I haven’t thought much about eating out since I started trying to eat right/healthy. It’s going to be a stressful dinner for me and that’s when I always overeat, when I’m stressed.…

Vitamins?
Are they really worth the trouble? Do the "supplements" for joint pain/joint health really do any good or is it all a fallacy? I know that when I got a cold or the flu I would load up on C and zink, I don't know if it helped but it made me pee interesting colors. What do the educated have to say?

A few thousand questions...
Ok, I’m new here and my name is John… I’m 51 and I’ve been fat all of my life, yes I can say that now, I might as well it’s not like it’s a secret or anything. I’ve come to a time in my life where I feel like the time is right to attack this problem in the correct manner. I’ve finally understood that “Food is not Love”,…
