Anyone wanna be a moderator?
I don't really anticipate this group becoming unmanagable, but I figured I'd ask for volunteers. When I'm not at work I only have my phone for internet so if any moderating is needed it'll be difficult.

Modified Barbell Squats
Hi, I'm hoping for advice. I've been weightlifting for awhile now. I started off with NROLFW, then Stronglifts until I stalled, then Wendell's 5/3/1. Then I hit a snag. Not sure how much detail I need to go into, but I have lateral epichondilits in my right elbow. With time and rest that should improve. I've been…

Ooh! Do me! (intake questions)
I've just gotten back on track I feel after quitting smoking 1 1/2 years ago. I'd originally lost 42 lb but gained back a little less than half due to a complete and total lack of self control. Well, the past couple weeks have been going well for me. I've kept to my plan (originally had the flu so you'll see I was quite a…

Assisted Chinups
So for those of us who are doing assisted chinups until we're able to do unassisted ones, how much weight are you using? I'm currently using 50 lb and I feel like a weakling. I do 3 sets of 3 until I am comfortable at that weight, then I lower the assistance weight. Are you also doing lat pulldowns? I may incorporate these…

Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss Plan
So while MFP was down I entertained myself by reading some articles on http://bodyrecomposition.com My weight has been at a standstill for a long time and I've even regained some. Anyway, reading the articles I was reminded of the rapid fat loss plan. My question before I delve further into this, would this be appropriate…

*sigh*
Just got a phone call that there's a schnauzer on it's way who has been having trouble walking so the owner has been giving it ibuprofen for 2 days and now it's drinking excessively. I love when people take a mild situation and turn it deadly out of stupidity.

New and Improved Crash Cart
I just did this. I'm so proud of myself I have to post pictures. Previously everything in the hospital was just thrown in the drawers and it had carboard divders covered in old nasty porous tape that no-one paid attention to. Top of cart Top drawer: Airway Second Drawer: Drugs Third Drawer: Venous Access Bottom Drawer:…

Parkour?
Anyone know of a gym that offers this type of thing? I signed up to do the Spartan Race in NY and am kinda scared. I'm a member of LA Fitness but wouldn't be adverse to switching.

What kind of hospital do you work for?
I work for a very busy 26 doctor practice that is a regular day clinic during the day and is a emergency hospital at night (small animal). I was recently promoted to Emergency Technician Supervisor. We have everything overnight, from medical boarders and post op spays to hemoabdomens and HBC's. I love emergency because…

Marzipan Mocha Cream Chocolate Cake
Mostly just posting this because my friends asked for pictures. When I came into work tonight, facing me on the breakroom table was a cake. Not just any cake. A chocolate cake with a pink marzipan shell and mocha cream frosting. At that moment, I decided to throw caution to the wind and eat nothing but cake today. I'll go…

Anyone want a kitten?
This adorable very friendly kitten was dumped at my work tonight. We've deflea-ed him and dewormed him. He will also be vaccinated. He's about 9 weeks old. Send me a PM if interested.

Cardio and lifting on the same day
What do you guys think of this? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/504130-why-i-m-not-for-cardio-and-resistance-concurrently Basically it's saying that when you do cardio and lifting on the same day, your body fights for resources and they sort of cancel each other out. Before NROL4W, I was doing cardio (running,…

Feline Stomatitis
I was wondering what the current thought is on feline stomatitis? My own cat was just diagnosed with it. Full mouth extractions (although her teeth are in good shape), pain meds, abs, sucralfate, and possibly corticosteroids are being considered. She is currently hospitalized for weight loss. Turns out she has horrible…

Smudge-less Mascara?
It's about time for me to replace my mascara. I've been using the same for years- Revlon Colorstay. I can't find it anymore though. The thing is I have really long blond eyelashes. They extend out to touch my undereyes and eyelids. This leads to unsightly smudges. The colorstay mascara worked really well at staying in…

Has anyone seen these? http://demonbells.com They're kettlebells with demon faces. I want them all. But I think I'm definitely getting the 20 lb sugar skull one once they become readily available.

Nicotine withdrawal hunger abatement
I quit smoking on July 28 this year. I did it with the use of an electronic cigarette. Like everyone else who's quit smoking, I'm ravenous. At first I did a pretty good job counteracting the hunger with baby carrots. Constantly eating baby carrots. It got old. Now, it's been ~ 1 week since I last used the electronic…

Low(ish) Impact Exercise DVD?
Please suggest one. I plan on buying a DVD player this weekend. I'm currently in fairly good shape. I have a Gazelle Edge "elliptical" and a stair stepping machine that I've been using for over a year and I'm almost on week 6 of C25K. I do have a bone disease that affects my joints, so I'm not sure if I can do something…

skin care product suggestions?
I've been a faithful user of Dermalogica for many years. But I'm out of my moisturizer and it's just become too expensive for me. Can anyone suggest a cheaper alternative for me? I am 38, but most people mistake me for being in my mid 20's. I'd like to keep it that way. I do not as yet have any noticable wrinkles or lines,…

let me get this straight...
So I've been reading around on here. I've learned that we are supposed to eat more when we exercise to make up for calories lost so our bodies don't go into starvation mode. I've been doing it wrong this whole time? I've been eating healthier and exercising (I still hate exercising!) Since June of last year. It never…

Minimum Calorie Requirement
I am slightly confused by some things I've been reading. Is the 1200 minimum daily requirement a generic absolute minimum the MPF comes up with regardless of height? I ask because I am only 4' 10 1/2". I read that the calorie minimum should be based on your goal weight in pounds X 10. So if my goal weight is 110, would my…
