New Perspective
My wife and I have noticed that, since watching our nutrtion and exercise regimens, we look at things differently. Things that used to be accepted as "the way they are" now get a "why?". Maybe this has happened to many of you as well. To start this topic off I'm asking; "What movies really put (OK piss) you off because of…

Best Local Beer
What is the best microbrewery, or local, beer in your area? I don't care about national brands at all. If you're going to take on the calories you should, at least, enjoy it.

iPhone GPS
I've noticed over the last 4 days that the GPS on my phone is seriously screwed up no matter where I am when I check it. Waving it around like a mad man does change the location but doesn't get it any closer to correct. I have been thinking of using one of the imapmy... apps with it for my running and riding but not if…

MPF Cycling Club Part 2
This is actually "Sky's" topic but we went over and the link got locked. Day 2 of my cycling skills training. We did pace lines (single, double, and continuous). I couldn't get the hang of continuous pace lines. Before going out on the road we did loops around the parking lot in close groups and practiced grabbing water…

Most Embarrassing (Humorous) Exercise Moment
A fellow cyclist on my Facebook page started this about cycling but it could happen in most every form of exercise. The point is to be able to relate to the fact that things WILL go wrong but we go on. Please share your stories....Here's one of mine. In the last couple of years I have taken up road cycling again and went…

Excess Skin
Does anyone know of an exercise that will help target excess skin around the mid-section and upper arms? My wife has lost significant weight and insurance won't cover surgery. I also have some just above my belt line that just hangs around.

Working Out Together
I've been reading a lot of postings on this site lately and have read a slew of good advice as well as many sad stories. Quite a number of the postings have involved spouses supporting, or not supporting, each other. Here's my two cents on the topic. Let me start by saying that I realize my belief is just that - my belief.…

Have a Sense of Humor
I'm finding that a sense of humor is important in getting fit. While much of the lifestyle changes require serious commitment to make, an opportunity to laugh is really valuable. What has happened on your road to fitness that was unexpected and just made you laugh? I'll start. The other day I decided to soak in the tub…

Need help
I bought 40 12" concrete landscaping blocks today from Lowes. I had to load them from the the shelf to the cart (20 of them twice due to a color problem). Then load them from the cart into the back of my CRV. Then carry 10 of them from the car to the front mail box bed (one at a time). The remaining 30 went (one at a time)…

Vitamin & Nutrient Supplement Tracking
Does anyone post the vitamin and nutrient supplements that they take as food to add (I would assume) to the vitamin count at the bottom of the food diary? I'm terrible at taking pills and am lucky to have only one required medication (lipitor) and don't remember to take that daily. I'd have to read the labels to see if…

Let's not wait on nutrition
Why wait for the government to tell restaurant's that they have to make nutrition information available? Many of these restaurants have websites as well as social networking pages where we can ask - in public - "What's so difficult about providing nutrition information? Don't you know what's in your recipes?" Or maybe less…

Hello
I'm new to this program but not new to fitness tracking. I started out as a skinny kid who couldn't gain weight and now, at 55, my BMI is at the upper end of normal. I have trained at body building, martial arts, running, and bicycling as well as trained (off-and-on) in a gym to try to get the body I wanted and never quite…
