I do have a question for everyone. Those of you that run/walk/jog a lot, I'm looking for some good shoes. Any recommendations? I have had issues with plantar fasciitis so I need good arch support.
I have PF as well and I’m a jogger. I jog daily which can at times cause not only problems with my feet but my knees and hips as well.
I use both brooks and Asics running shoes but mostly stick to my Asics. I also use ankle/foot support socks during my running and foot braces at night time to keep my feet in place. This has helped hugely with my daily pain. I would also recommend proper soles for your shoes maybe see a orthopaedic doctor to get soles specially for your feet.

Another good brand in my opinion is Saucony. Something to consider, if it is available in your area, is get your feet tested for your shoes. There are a couple running stores here that help match shoes to feet.2 -

I am making a marinated pork tenderloin. I never know how many calories to count for the marinade. I don’t use any of it over my food just what is in the meat. You guys have any idea of how much to count?
As for my walking, I did 5.66km yesterday. It was a miserable day to walk as it snowed more than they said. At times I couldn’t see people ahead of me on the path. I decided to stick it out and I ended up walking further than I planned.
Today’s goals
1. Walk 5.5 km
2. Drink my water. I have been slipping lately.
3. Tai chi
4. Stay within calorie goal
5. Pre log food for tomorrow1 -

I found this several years ago. It's perfect if you are using a bottled jar of marinade. If you are making your own ... more complicated. You would need to calculate the total calories of the marinade based on ingredients first; then, calculate how many tablespoons in the total amount of marinade; then calculate the portion you wish to count. Hope this helps. PS: Love pork tenderloin!!
A nutritionist friend of mine advised me years ago that --
For a paste type marinade (eg pesto) assume 1 tbsp of the marinade sticks to each 85 grams (3 oz) meat.
For a oil based liquid marinade, assume 0.5 tbsp of the marinade sticks to each 85 grams (3 oz) meat.
For a non-oil liquid based marinade (eg juices or wine etc) assume 1/3 tbsp sticks to each 85 grams (3 oz) of meat.2 -

You have been so well with your steps! I’m happy to see you are adding in more each day and that you are also continuing to do TaiChi. Has it helped you with your stress?0 -

I think it has helped and the walking also helps my anxiety too.1 -

Yesterday was the hardest day I have had with this entire Covid19 pandemic. I kept reaching for food to comfort me. I think I am missing my granddaughters and realizing that I won’t get to see my parents anytime soon. Today is a new day and I am going to count all the things I have to be grateful.
I hit a new high with my walking yesterday. I walked 5.78km. I was really tired last night. The weather is miserable today so I won’t get a long walk but if there is a break in the rain/snow I will take a short stroll.
Today’s goals
1. Get at least 5000 steps
2. Tai chi
3. Count my gratitudes
4. Stay with in calorie goal
5. Log accurately
6. 8 cups water minimum2 -
Good Morning all,
I made some drastic changes yesterday because the scale hasn't been doing anything (and really, I haven't been doing much either). I completely cleaned out my pantry and refrigerator. Everything that was junk went downstairs into the bar. Apparently, out of sight out of mind works really well for me. My husband and children have to go downstairs if they want any junk food. I was able to stay within my calorie budget yesterday and it was much easier because, when I looked in the fridge or pantry, all I could see were my healthy snacks. I did leave my pudding cups in the fridge. They're only 100 calories and are wonderful for when I just want a little something sweet without dropping the ball.
I am confident that next weeks weigh in will show some results.

Just checking in. Feeling a bit blah today and not getting anything accomplished. Need to empty the back bathroom and linen closets today as well as paint a hive as I have a new nuc full of Russian Bees arriving on Saturday morning. I need to do some shopping too as I need sugar to feed the bees for the first week or so until they get their bearings and start producing their own honey to eat.2

Hello Downsizers!
It is time to start to build up our teams a bit in preparation for the May challenge. F2F needs new members! Your team could use a few more, and we hope you can help recruit some new challengers for both yours and some of the other teams as well. Spread the word on message boards, among your non-MFP friends, and wherever you can.
The May registration is at https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10793488/f2f-may-2020-registration/p1?new=1
It is also good to suggest that people look around our general site and the teams.
https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/114605-fat-2-fit-weight-loss-challenge-and-support-group
If they have a team preference, they should say so on the registration thread.
Thanks for you help! You all are amazing

Weekly weigh in
Last week: 261.4
This week: 263.2
The problem at work got fixed on Wednesday so I should be able to stop eating now! I wish I knew a better coping mechanism than eating because it doesn't fix anything. It actually makes things worse. And I know this! I just don't know how to change/ break the habit. Anyway. Have a good week!2 -

Is the bee keeping a hobby? Sounds interesting. Hope you are feeling better today!1 -

You got this! One thing I did first when I started losing weight was make a list of things I could do instead of eating. I still have that list 14 months later and I still use it.1 -
