Girl wants discounted rate at the gym because she is the "after" photo...
So today on the radio on my way in to work, a girl was on there asking questions to a trainer that they were having on as a guest spot or something. She said that it was BS that she had to pay the full price because she was basically the "after" photo that all the "fatties" were trying to achieve. Of course that triggered…

Should Guys Wear Tank Tops?
I know the standard answer is "If it makes you happy, then where them", but this is the Chit-Chat, Fun and Games category. That answer just doesn't fly ;) What are your opinions? I'm gonna be honest, until recently, I would have said "Maybe to the beach or pool", but lately, I wear them more. I know it's nothing but me…

DexaScan - What should I know?

HerbalLife Shakes cause you to burn 170 calories per serving...
So yea, someone tried to tell me that on Facebook. This was the first I had heard something this outlandish. Not only is it the "nectar of the gods", it burns the same amount of calories as it has in it so you net 0 when you drink a shake. Other words of wisdom from the same person.... it takes 9 calories to process 1 gram…

Mountain biking syncing from Strava?
So I use a Garmin that syncs to Strava. Strava then syncs to MFP. For some reason when Strava syncs a mountain bike ride, the exercise comes in as "leisurely bike ride" or something like that rather than the mountain biking option. Is there a way to fix that? Anyone else having that issue?

Overweight Personal Trainers - What's your thoughts?
I was talking with the GF yesterday on the treadmill yesterday about. I go to Gold's Gym and 3 or 4 of the trainers that work there aren't in shape. A couple border on obese. I am kind of torn by the issue. Doesn't it seem like being fit should be a requirement to being a personal trainer? I guess I am kinda torn on the…

Does alcohol really count the same as other calories?
You all know me for the most part. I am 100% about everything in moderation (my moderation on beer may be a little higher than some ;) , but I am just curious if alcohol really has the same effect as other calories when it comes to weight loss? This is more just a fun type question, but what led me to ask it is that I go…

So ride a bike in the warmer months for cardio. I usually lift during my lunch hour and ride a bike after work to get my heart going. Well the winter months are approaching, and I admit, I am a fair whether rider. I am trying to come up with a new plan for winter. I want to focus more on lifting over the winter and have…

Fatty deposits on top of muscle?
Hopefully I can explain this and someone else knows what I am talking about. On the parts of my body where I am pretty lean, I get little pebbly feeling fat deposits (just guessing that that is what they are). I'm just curious if anyone has had that and what it is... Anyone know?

Gotta love nurse's recommendations....
Went to the doctor on Monday cause I passed out that morning in shower. I have had low glucose for as long as I can remember so this isn't new to me. Anyway, had a blood panel ran and just received those in the mail. The blood panel showed I have elevated lipids (runs in the family) and low glucose. No shockers on either…
