Clumsy Man Attempting Yoga
Hey everyone. I've been doing yoga for about a month and it's probably the most challenging exercise I've ever done. I use a DVD which I try to follow and I find myself stumbling all over my living room. As much as I'd like to go to a yoga studio, I'm just flat out embarrassed. I'm afraid I might start stumbling all over…

Your Favorite Weightlifting Exercise/Least Favorite
What's your favorite weightlifting regiment? In other words, what movement do you think has provided you with the most noticeable improvement to your body.

Questions for Those Who are into Yoga
Hi everyone, I have worked really hard the past year and a half to improve my upper body strength and have seen great results.

"Bad" foods that are addictive
Almost all of you who have joined MFP (with the small exception of a few creepers and possible stalkers), are here to improve your diet and to work on becoming more fit. However, no matter how much progress many of us make, there's always one snack or some kind of junk food that can easily set us back once we get our hands…

Bob Harper/Super Burn Pure Strength DVD
Has anyone else out there tried this DVD? It has really helped me quite a bit in building my endurance and strengthening my upper body.

Foods that can kill your diet

However, there are some foods that can kill your day if presented to you to the point where it's useless to even count anymore. And if you do count, the results are going…

Gaining Weight from Weight Lifting
I notice that I have gained about 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks and it was right around the time I started a strict weight lifting regiment.

Co-workers that like to bring food to work
Anyone else out have this problem? Despite being adamant that you will not indulge in their sugary cookies, cakes, fried bread (aka donuts), they keep stopping by your desk anyway? Are they really showing good intentions by being thoughtful even though you tell them "no" constantly. I stepped away from desk the other week…

Too Obsessed?
I'm almost addicted to the myfitness pal app. I know it sounds like it might be a good thing but friends of mine are telling me that I am allowing it to run my life and I'm too rigid with my fitness and dieting habits.

Okay, I know many of you spend time at the gym and you've seen your share of interesting characters. What annoys you while you there?

Who Inspires You at the Gym
Okay, Now that we discussed what annoys you, who inspires you. It doesn't have to be at the gym, it could be on a running trail or at the park. I spoke to a lady once who was 72 years old who was working the circuits and machines like she was 30. I was about to quit for the day until I saw her, I stayed an extra 30 minutes.

Exercising in the Morning
I noticed that ever since I decided to stop hitting the doggone snooze button to get up and work out in the morning, the pounds are really starting to drop. Traditionally, I'd work out in the evening and see no real weight loss but now that I run, lift weights, etc in the morning before work, I see much more positive…

I have lost a total of 15 lbs since I started using Myfitnesspal. Since May, I have been on a diet of vegetables and seafood (by definition, I'm a "pescatarian not a vegetarian) and the pounds have started to melt away. I only have about 5 more pounds to go (I'm currently at 185 and I'm 6'1") and it's great to see the…

Here I go again
I was very successful in losing over 30 pounds over a two year period from 2007-09. However, I gained much of it back and would like to lose an addtional 15 pounds (now at 200). Not extremely overweight but enough to make me feel a bit sluggish and unmotivated throughout the day. I also like to exercise and compete and…
