Weights only vs Weights/Cardio
I'm recently getting back into the fitness routine. I have about 60-70 to lose. I lost about 40lbs last time by doing Supreme 90 Day. I lost over an inch off hips etc a month and could do push-ups off my toes by the end of the 90 days. The workouts were a mix of cardio and weight training with body weight and free weights.…

Les Mills Pump & Combat.....reviews?
I'm just getting back into this routine again. Ok I'm starting almost over. One thing I'd like to do is have a new workout. I've done JM 30DS and Supreme 90 Day. I'm not into P90X because of time and I'm just Insanity material yet. I tried CLX and that woman drives me nuts and I felt her moves were so fast I was going to…

The decline of MFP
I've been around here since 2011. I loved the information, support and the friends I've made. You'd have the occasional argument about HCG or "starvation" mode but it seem things have decline more than "opinions". I recently came cross a post from someone looking for support. After so many pages they finally fessed up they…

What's that NOISE?
Don't mind the ruckus people. It was just my treadmill groaning as I finally got my hiney on it. Or maybe it was just me. I'm not sure. I had my iphone cranked to try to cover it up. Anyone else trying to get back on that exercise train? Yikes I forgot how trying to look and feel younger made you feel so old to start.

Can't get back on the path...HELP!
I started here May 2011 and rocked it. Lost 42 of the 70 I wanted to lose and then BAM a pulled muscle and I lost my routine. I was genuinely hurt (bad muscle spasms just sitting). I took a break and I was ok with it because for the first time, I was maintaining and I wasn't at goal but I was in a happy place. I felt good…

A friend posted this on another site and I was blown away by this. http://www.strongandfit.net/2010/01/body-scan-250-lb-woman-vs-120-lb-woman.html Not just for the obvious fat on various organs (the brain blew me away)...but the obvious stress on joints. Especially when you compare shoulders, hips, knees and the ankles!…

Diary - deleting foods?
Is there a quick and/or easy way to delete foods from your meal listings besides checking every single one individually and hitting delete? I've been here 240+ days so I've accumulated a LOT of foods in my meal listings and some are things I ate once (at a party, dining out etc). And even if I delete them from my meal…
