So I was thinking about Miss Shawtys post with all the weight loss diet advice and I was wondering if there was anyone else out there struggling with weight etc... It might be cool to have a weight loss contest... weigh in our losses every week or something as a motivation... First...
If this gets used, it stays. If it doesn't it goes. Enjoy :)
I remember a few people on here talking about thyroid tests and how some tests were better then others, but I don't remember what the tests where. I've had a basic thyroid test done, but I'm going to the dr this afternoon to talk about having my thyroid retested and doing different types of...
If all goes well as planned, then i should be moving to the city this coming Fall. What are some names of any gyms i should check out/what are the costs for a pass/membership? I have a 3 month membership at Abs-o-Lute down here in the Valley that cost me $123.20, and it's all up-to-date gym...
So I'm going to try it again. Need to lose a bunch of weight, and trying to figure out some tips for this. I will be tracking my food, eating smaller meals more often, and eating decent stuff (lean meats, whole grains, fruits, veggies, nuts). I will also be returning to the gym. Any other...
Title is pretty self explanatory I got most of the muscle groups under control with some exercises I know, but those two particular areas are where I have questions. Lower back seems to have options, but is deadlift the best way to work lower back? Or that exercise where you hang over...
I'm a tad nervous... I have to go in for a scope tomorrow at the hospital, and have no idea what to expect (other then some drugs that will make me not care that I'm about to have a camera shoved down my throat into my stomach :happysad:) Has anyone had this done before? I'm really not sure...
I just started doing them a at the start of january, I quickly noticed my lower back was sore so I asked a trainer to watch me. My back was super arched and we quickly fixed that problem. I'm notice when im going pretty heavy I feel it a bit, should I get a belt? Whats everyone squating?

Where is the best place to buy individual free weights, looking for sets of 2 over 25lbs? Thanks!
So I picked up a nubodys pass today for a week. Going tomorrow on my hour lunch. Any suggestions on a way to approach this? I have a gut that I'd like to get rid of. My cardio is shit. I don't like to run. Should I use the bike for an hour?
I tried doing a search, but couldn't find much useful info. I've just recently moved to Halifax and soon will be moving into an apartment in the south end, close to SMU. I was wondering what people's opinions of the Tower Gym at St. Mary's are? My needs at a gym are fairly basic... a good...

I feel like venting. So I figured here would be the best place. Bear with my on my explanations as I don't know all the technical terms, etc. I had open heart surgery when I was 4. I've recently been having a number of issues and had to go through some tests. More are on their way. I had a...
So here's the low-down: My roommate is attempting to shed a tonne of weight in order to become the winner of a "the Biggest Loser" kind of contest that our school is having. He's gone to the first meeting and has a consult with a nutritionist tomorrow to see if he can safely go on the Atkins...
Who's done it? What brand/product did you use
Since I had such good luck with my doctor thread, can someone let me know of a good denist that may work evenings/weekends in Halifax? Somewhere not too far off a bus route from Clayton Park is preferred. I tried Dunbrack dental, but they're booked until the middle of March. :( Thanks in...
You know how the saying goes, 30 days has September.... Some months are longer than others and because January immediately follows the holidays, a time of excess, and is the beginning of the new year, a time for goals it seems an appropriate choice. I, Patrick Horsman, a person who has been...
Help I hurt myself at the gym last night. Now my lower back side is very sore. How can I stretch to focus on that area
I have decided to make couple of changes in the way I eat. Did a little research and it looks like Paleo diet is the best bet for me. Does anyone follow this? Anything similar to this? Thanks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleo_diet
1. Your well-muscled left forearm. Conveniently located directly above the very first thing I notice: your ring finger. 2. Your skin tone. 1 percent increase in tan = 47 percent increase in muscle tone. 3. Your resemblance to a rock. The Rock, Kid Rock, and all the rocks in between are...
Every month when I come for a visit, how does it affect you? Do I make you crampy? Do you get weepy? Do you get angry? Do you lose your appetite? or gain more appetite?
So I found out that there is a very cool CrossFit club in Kingston. I contacted the instructor and I will be joining their class tomorrow (free class). It should be interesting. I hope I won't ridicule my self by puking or something. Did anyone tried a Crossfit class before? Also on Friday I...

What kinds do you use? Isolate, blend, concentrate? Also what brand? Anything to look out for? Just wondering what people on here are using, and why. I'm hearing conflicting information about Iso vs blend. I'm new to all of this.
So, I have a gym membership voucher I still have not redeemed, I keep putting it off. But, I really need to shed some pounds and get back in shape somewhat. I thought I'd giev Turbo Jam a try, as I can burn it from a friend of a friend. I'm just wondering who has tried it and what you thought...

People with back problems, help!!! Saturday, I was moping the floor. As I picked up the bucket of water out of the tub, I swung around and did something terrible to my back. (You know sometimes how it cracks and then you can just kinda crack it back into place?) Well, I thought this was one of...

And how do you do it? I'm cancelling my gym membership and would like to do more than yoga at home. Running can wait until the spring, but what sorts of other exercises can I do at home without weights? Keep in mind I am not physically capable of pushups :o
What does everyone recommend to help relieve heart burn? I have been having reoccurring pain for the last few days. I ran out of Tums so I picked up some Gaviscon tablets but almost threw up trying to chew them. They start to foam right in your mouth and they aren't the flavour they are...
Let's talk about yoga. Would you like to try yoga? Have you done yoga before? Yes For how long? My first yoga lesson was three years ago, but I've only been doing it regularly for two years What do you like about yoga? Feeling more aware and like I can breathe better after a session. It's...
Finally decided to step up my fitness a notch, and cut down. Went to my buddy's clinic (U-weightloss in clayton park). He put me on a week detox where I will be consuming only 1300 calories a day, gave me an awesome meal plan with great variety and such. Current stats Height: 6'1 Weight:...
After having a long talk last night with Greg about how its totally not right that I feel this sick all the time, we've decided I need to get a new Dr that will investigate it more instead of saying 'the pain can happen for those that had their gallbladder out....' :pissed: Does anyone know of...
Currently I just take a multivitamin and 1000mg of vitamin C a day
In the next few months I will be having surgery to correct the shape and alignment of my jaw and will have my mouth wired shut. I'm a bit intimidated by this and am trying to do as much searching as I can to glean ideas from others on what to expect. Have any of you gone thru this? How severe...

Who has it or is close to someone who does? They did a blood test on me for the celiac sprue that came back negative but a friend of a friend came back negative and later found out they had it. I took a vitamin yesterday with wheat in it and had some seriously messed up symptoms and would...
Anyone done this or have any comments I was thinking about checking it out in the new year :)
I've had three people in the past month say they think I'm anemic. None of them are doctors so I take their commentary with a grain of salt, but I'm still wondering what's wrong with me. I get dizzy really easily, especially if I haven't eaten in a couple hours. Usually it's just if I'm crouching...
My mother developed an allergy to trees in the past year. Without even thinking about it, we went out and got ourselves a real Christmas tree, as per usual. Once we had it up, my mom broke out into hives and swelled up and whatnot. So we had to take it down, and now we're in the market for a fakie....
