Getting started with Exercise
I don’t have things to work out with at home, but as a beginner in working out outside of yoga what should my daily routines look like? I’m more focused on gaining ab/core strength and then everything else. How should I begin?

Do you run slow? Then you might be doing it right!
I know some people eschew running because of its impact on the body, especially knees and hips. I have friends that tell me I shouldn't do it because I will inevitably get injured. To be honest, I got out of the habit at some point and will get back into it. I have never been a fast runner. Well, my last two or three years…

Do you eat or avoid something before going to sleep? Does it affect you at all? Bonus: do you track it in MFP?

Yesterday at weigh in I achieved my first major goal of dropping 100lbs! It took 315 days starting at 2200 calories to 1530 calories today. I started keto low carb but recently I've added a few carbs back like rice, beans and very rarely breads. I have splurged also and those weeks I did see either a stall or gain even…

National Quitters Day
About five years ago, Strava did some research. I think it's OK to mention Strava here because there's a way to link data from Strava to our MFP exercise diary. They looked over all their user data and determined that the second Friday in January is when people start to give up on their New Year's resolutions - 80% of…

345 DAYS....101.6 POUNDS GONE.....A WHOLE NEW PERSON
345 days ago, I was sitting in a lazy boy after cutting firewood all day exhausted and sore to the point that I didn't know if I was ever going to get up outta that chair. In that moment I realized that I wasn't going to be able to be active enough to keep up with my then 6- and 2-year-old boys. And I didn't want to be the…
