Everyone talks about creepy guys at gym, let's hear those stories of ladies being, well creepy.
Ok, I first want to say I understand women get harrassed everywhere they go. Shouldn't be that way. I'm a firm believer in communication, if someone is giving you unwanted attention, speak up and if it continues then we are talking about harrassment. Anyways, this is mainly about women at the gym that do things that are…

Pulled left groin muscle a week ago with 335 pound squat.
So tonight tried to do squats and things felt good until I got to my 2nd working set with a weight of 260#. And it started getting sore (feels super tight and hurts (3-4 on scale 0-10) anyways I called it quits on squats. Guess I will take a couple weeks off on squats, perhaps do mobility work in a few days. At 39 I guess…

Get depressed a lot lately.
Ok a little over a year I started my journey and I've been maintaining for about a month. I lost a lot of fat but muscle was lost too even though I had 3 days a week that I lifted at home (so didn't do huge lifts not enough weight, stayed in 10-15 rep range) I do have abs and happy with bf% but feel really skinny and weak.…

Trying to maintain.
I've not got to exercise very much last 3 weeks because of my arm (left Radial neck fracture), so no bicycle, weights, etc... Don't want to make my right arm stronger than my left (more than it already is, I'm right handed) and can't really hold onto weights. I've been walking and running 2-3 times a week, total time 1 1/2…

sodium and potassium questions.
Ok, so just over 10 month into my journey and I've done really good. I'm almost were I want to be. Started at 295+ and now this morning I weighed 171.8 pounds. I'm shooting for 8% body fat or so, currently 11% or so. I've done this with low carb, 6 months of 1950 calories and 50 or less grams of carbs a day. Then I upped…

how do I estimate how many calories I'm burning.
Many activities are in mfp but I have no clue how to estimate my workouts or my general activity level. I'm on my feet over 8 hours a day, I'm a welder and so I don't have a lot of physically demanding task, but in general I spend couple hours a day climbing ladders, picking 50-100 pounds up and walking with it. I've got…
