Any Bowflex owners in the house?
My account has remained dormant for the past month because of so many events. Unfortunately, I haven't updated my journal in a span of time but I haven't done too much damage. Regardless, it's nice to be back and hope everyone is doing successful in their journey to a healthier life. That being said, tomorrow I am…

Sick of being overweight
I've been on this board for awhile but had a lot of family issues and what not. Now I'm back and my fire is burning for my trail of glory. After these past years of lifestyle change, FINALLY, something clicked inside me. My passion, my motivation, the instinct or feeling that triggered this lifestyle change to being with.…

the declaration
for the past year, I've faced some of the biggest battles you can encounter within a lifespan. I've also come to the stone cold realization that the perpetrator of those wars sometimes was myself. I took my dramatic weight loss for granted and I begin to resort to careless tactics healthwise. Well, I refuse to live like…

Relationship frustration
My girlfriend is a wonderful girl. She's got a great sense of humor, she's very smart when she applies herself, she has an adorable smile and her company is something I enjoy. That being said, I'm at my wits end with her laziness. Now, I'll be the first to admit it, I'm a procrastinator and sometimes can be messy. But…

Vitamin Water Controversy
My family and co-workers have discouraged me from touching this product. My boss made a comment that it was #2 on a top five list for worst beverages on the market right now. Judging by the sugar I've seen on the nutrition label, I'm not too surprised should this be true. Any thoughts?

MFP Walking/Running Challenge
So tomorrow I'm walking at Relay for Life at my local university thanks to my jobs donation and involvement. I walk from 4 am to 6 am with my iPod and white Relay t-shirt. I'm challenging all of you, especially those who slack sometimes like myself, to walk one mile at the very least. Get your iPod and hit a scenic path…

Enter exercise, depression exit stage left
No one's life is a bowl of cherries, obviously. I went through a rough spell and to be honest, the only cure I've found recovering from depression is exercise. Honestly. Sometimes, not always, it'll take an army to motivate me to even go outside. It's an internal conflict and sometimes the mindgames try to set in. But when…

Spinach Artichoke Dip
My favorite side dish! I've done some internet research but prefer to hear people and their recipes. Please share this scrumptious delight so that it may accompany my blue corn tortilla chips tomorrow! :tongue: :bigsmile:

Workout Tunes
This has probably been discussed in one form or another but what does everyone around here like listening to when you're in "the zone"? I find music necessary just for life in general, so I definitely try to do permanent damage to my ears with my iPod. :happy: But seriously, I'm up for any type of recommendations. I am…

Whey over my head // Tea for Two
Whey Protein shakes definitely help me on filling fuller for a longer period of time, having an instant meal replacement and plus all the other endless health benefits. Anyone have any recipes to share with me? And for the sake of saving space, anyone got any teas they drink consistantly to recommend? My cousin lost weight…

three fold utopian dream
Just got done hitting the bench for the first time in a while. I had to get up early because I was on vacation for work and still have things from my camping trip to unpack. Now, it's off to make some oatmeal and head to work for the first time in a week. The adrenaline will definitely support me for a decent amount of…

Relay for Life
My boss informed me a couple of weeks ago that he signed all of us up in the office. I'm personally excited but don't know what to expect. I've done some research on the web but I work better off personal testimonies. Thanks in advance for those who respond. :drinker:

23 -- on the verge of spontaneous combustion, woe-is-me!
My apologies in advance if this post is in the wrong thread, as I felt it was appropriate still focusing on physical education. I lacked a prominent father figure in my life since mine died before birth. I was raised by my grandparents and although they took care of me, they were never capable of taking me out to explore…

I am the walrus
My name is Adrian but I prefer to go by Aj. My fitness muse recommended this website to have some accountability for exercising and what I eat daily. In a nutshell, I was on a major adrenaline rush for my health. My metabolism was on fire and I was usually losing rather than gaining. After a couple of unexpected family…
