Keep "Logged in for X Days" counter going while traveling
I'll be traveling overseas soon and while I still plan to check into MFP whenever possible, I might miss a day if I'm in an area without cell coverage. I've thought about running a script on my computer left at home to have it check in periodically but I haven't looked into it too much yet. Has anyone found a good…

Need pad for pull-up bar
I seem to have worn out the foam that protects the door frames when doing pull-ups on my Iron Gym pull-up bar. I called the manufacturer and they don't sell replacement foam Home Depot didn't have anything either. Any ideas how I can replace the foam to protect my doors? I've considered using a hollow swim noodle but the…

Anyone see Chris Pratt's (from Parks and Rec) changes?
I've seen the chubby, clueless character on Parts and Recreation. However, in six months, he totally changed into a very fit guy for a movie role. Unfortunately, he then added 60 pounds for his next role. Anyway, does anyone know what approach he took to become so fit? The only clue I've heard is that he gave up beer.…

I need a new trainer!
I was doing P90X Chest and Back today and my four-year-old son had the following things to say as he tried working out with me and gave me tips. 1. While doing the initial stretches, he looked over at me, patted my belly and said, "You're fat!" I told him that it might be the position I was in for that stretch. 2. While…

Exercise makes you smarter?
Aside from the obvious statement that it is dumb not to exercise, this study confirms that high intensity training increases cognitive function as well. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-10-high-intensity-boosts-cognitive-function.html So, hopefully we can all use this as motivation to exercise as it is STUPID not to.…

Any tips on doing P90X/Insanity at a Boy Scout Camp?
For much of next week, I'll be attending a Boy Scout camp with a troop. I'm not attending in a leadership role so I will hopefully be able to fit in my workouts while the leaders are with the boys. They do have some electrical outlets that I can use and I'm planning to do the workouts that don't require pull-ups. That way,…

Can you recommend an EXCELLENT bathroom scale?
I've gone through several bathroom scales (no, I'm not THAT fat) because they give inconsistent measurements. It becomes difficult to stay motivated when the metrics vary widely (even within a few minutes). So, if you have a scale that you love, please tell me what it is. Thank you!

How can I get rid of the "You've earned X calories" statemen
Just because I burned 600 calories in a day, doesn't mean that I want to eat an extra 600 calories worth of food (okay, maybe it does but I'm not going to do it). :-) Is there a way to change the remaining calorie total so it just shows me the remaining balance for my 1,900 calorie diet (and it won't include the exercise…

NSV - My daughter
I'm in my 3rd week of P90X while eating a 1,900 diet. To keep myself from losing motivation, I'm not going to weigh myself until the end of 90 days. I think I'm losing weight and inches but it was verified last night. My 9-year-old daughter gave me a hug before going to bed and said, "Oh my gosh! I can reach all the way…
