Couch to 5k
Hey guys! I seriously HATE to run so I've figured what better way to change that than to run a (short) marathon! I want to run a 4 miler in August. It's a mud run that looks like serious fun. Is there anyone on here who has done/is doing the Couch to 5k program? What's it like? Is it manageable? Do you hate life because…

Can someone recommend a good beginning exercise program?
I have a gym membership, but no access to a pool. There are lots of good hills here for walking, but not many sidewalks. (I'm okay with that, if that's what I need to do. Not a big deal) I'm mostly looking for a good "do these things on these days" program for weight training. I'm a beginner, but naturally pretty strong,…

How do you determine calories burned while swimming?
I'm just wondering, how do you determine the amount of calories you have burned while swimming? I have a hard time trusting the listings on MFP because who determines what a "hard" or "moderate" effort is? There are some people that seem to have a really good idea of how much they burned, and I would like to know where you…

SPF 2: Reboot Boogaloo Week of April 5
Morning pebbs, So, I've turned into a farmer. For the past week or two, I've been waking up at or before 5 a.m. and going to bed at or before 10. It was spontaneous and weird. I seem to be getting a lot more done, as the house and city are super quiet, and I have an easier time focusing. Also, I've lost weight since I last…

Creating too much of a deficit
Do you ever consider exercising but decide not too because you know you won't be able to eat the calories? Today for example I took the dog for 2 15 minute walks and went to the gym. It's already 7pm and I have 500 more calories to eat. I know that there is no way I'll eat that much today. My goals are set for 2lbs a week…
