Jetlag and Exercise
I spend each summer in the USA and am flying out next week. I have managed to 'conquer' jetlag by making my way to Walgreen the minute the plane lands and stuffing a variety of drugs into my system. However this just allows me to function as a barely alive person for around 4 days until I get used to the time difference…

GPS Advice (Sat nav!)
Just in case anyone thought GPS was a new workout or diet pill...I need to buy a GPS as soon as I get to the US. I am going to be in LA and have never driven there before. Can anyone recommend a good one, I have occasionally gone for cheap ones which seem to want to kill me. My first one kept urging me to drive straight…

Is A Change Of Routine Really Necessary?
I appear to be sat on my big a** on a plateau at the moment and I havent been able to work out as I would like as I have a tendon problem. However, whenever anyone mentions the evil plateau the advice is normally 'change your workout', 'do something different'. My question is that if you are still doing the same routines,…

5k Thread- City by City
I never start threads...now two in one hour! Just wondered if anyone wanted to post if they were going to do a 5k/ 10k then maybe there could be a communal MFP high five or secret handshake or something. A few people here seemed to do a Baltimore 5k recently so I just thought it would be nice if we posted if we were…

I reiterated...1987...when I was at university..Sadly, he had thought I was quoting the time of my last run but no..it was. really,…

I eat a healthy dinner and portion control is fine. My downfall, and the thing I fear is inhibiting my weight loss is evening eating. I have this…

Weight Loss Confusion
Sorry if this is a stupid question but... If my daily target is 1200 and I eat that and do NO exercise I will lose, according to MFP 1.3lbs a week. If I do a hell of a lot of exercise (which i am doing) and eat ALL or most of my exercise calories then I will lose....1.3lbs a week! I am keen to get fit and have gotten to…

Should I alter my workout?
Hi, I need some advice. I am doing 40 mins of cardio plus 20 mins of weights and abs 5 times a week. I also do Jillians 30 Day shred 5 x a week as well. Each gym session, according to my HRM, I burn just over 500 cals. Jillian adds on another 200. This has been the case for 2 weeks. I burn the same amount, give or take a…

Gym Membership Across Different States
Hi, I will be in Denver, LA and Cincinatti July thru September this year. Does anyone know of any fitness/gym chains that allow you to use ANY gym and also don't need you to be a US resident? I really don't want to spend all that time gym-less! I know I can run outside but I find all the beeping and flashing of machines…
