I switched to MFP after WW. I found myself constantly hungry on WW and it was hard to pay to be hungry. I'm here now and also use eatthismuch dot com to do meal planning. I plan there and track here. This, so far in the last six weeks, has been the most successful plan I have ever had. Eatthismuch took me a minute to…

Super cute idea! Congrats!

Hey! I'm Jennifer. I'm 34 and live in Northern CO. I've said for the last five years I want to do a half, but could never make it past C25K since the first time in 2010, where I quit after finishing the program. I have a fascination with things which are a factor of 5, so I figured 2015 was the half marathon year. I have…

I have a body fat scale (just a simple one from Target ~$40, but there are fancy-pants one which sync with MFP) and weigh once a week, but also take a BF reading at the same time. Last week, I had zero change in weight (and my scale does 10ths!) but I had a 0.3% BF change. That made me smile even though my weight was the…

The Facebook group is way more active for the 5K trainer!

This year, I have found a renewed success not seen in the past with Eatthismuch.com. It took a bit of clicking to get it to work for me (I suggest the walk thru in the Help menu). In the last three weeks, I've come across two recipes I won't make again and am down 6 lbs (two pounds a week). The recipes are easy enough,…

I just note that the number is green again the next day - a green light for doing awesome today!

French toast made with a soy milk and cinnamon instead of an egg wash. I found it on Google.

It's great to add to baby chicken and turkey waterers to perk them up and help support growth and nutrient uptake. It's basically baby chick crack.

Amerielle - That is actually rather motivating for me. I have done week 1 several times, and up thru week 4, but then got busy with work. I tried to start again earlier this week, but we ended up working two 16 hour days in a row and it was rather challenging to find time to run. However, two days ago, I found 35 minutes…

It's yummy on cereal and lasts longer in the fridge if your called away on work for days at a time. (which happens often to me)

Hello All! Might I say, I love the Zombies Run 5K app! Over the winter, I had made it to week 5 and was rocking it. Then a little slip turned into a two, four, six week slip. I have the motivation to get up tomorrow morning and hit Week 1 Day 1 again, but was looking for some accountability in the form of the forum. Hope…

One of my friend recently stated after we had a conversation about doing speed work in cemeteries (he near his house and I near mine) that he finds it more respectful then avoiding the land. He looks at the head stones and wonders about the people. He reflects on his life and is thankful for being able to run in the first…

The Podrunner podcast uses techno/dance music. Can be found in the iTunes store for free. Its not an app, just music which can be loaded onto any iDevice. He has 5K, 8K, and 10K. I personally love the Zombies Run 5K! for the iPhone or iTouch. You can use any music or streaming music (if you have the iPhone). I was all good…

Heck yeah! Even at the very crowded Rose Bowl. (well, on the dirt trail on the outside of the track. It would actually be a hindrance to the other people to change speed so rapidly.) I figure it's my workout, not theirs. :o)

Finding Nemo : Just keep swimming (obvious) Just keep running Just keep riding Or this one time when we were lost hiking and I really really wanted to quit. But couldn't because we had to get back to the car. Just keep walking. It actually helped immensely.

The first time I finished, I started at 206 (my highest and put on very quickly one summer) and finished running 5 miles. Not that everyone will have that success, but it's possible. You will be running the 30 minutes. I've started over after a long snowy winter with the Zombies Run 5K and I love it!! One piece of advice,…

I'm rather klutzy, to be nice. And outside of the gym one: The first time I rode my road bike with clipped shoes, I thought I could stop at a red light and stay standing on the bike, like the awesome guys do. Problem was, I had no idea how to do it and promptly fell over. I couldn't rotate my foot to get the pedal to…

*assisted. Stupid auto-correct.

In college, I was at the school gym early, when only the football team was there. I was using the rack for split squats and the bar was a tad too heavy. I took a knee, but couldn't get back up. Or put the bar on the rack at all. I looked around aimlessly, not in any pain, but immobile. A nice football guy saw me and lifted…

Uh, yeah. Duh.

Pretty much.

1. I was not a fat kid. I was actually the fittest I've ever been. I played sports and ran and did it all. I was a little ball of muscles. When I was like 7 or something, my brother looked at what was my actually very muscular calves and told me it was fat. And I was fat. And people don't like fat people. He was older. I…

What I do when I eat out with friends and workmates is use the food search on MFP and just type in the name of the restaurant. Then you can scan the things they serve and choose something that fits your plan/calories remaining/ goals. I try to pick veggie and lean foods, but sometimes that just doesn't work when you eat…

Its not HFCS, it's "corn sugar" and your body can't tell the difference. Sugar is sugar! Duh! The TV commercial funded by the Corn Council, or whatever they are called, told me so! How is that not right? The TV told me!

QOTD 7: Yes. I would absolutely love to go back to my old ways. Its fun, its easy, I get to cook whatever I feel like, I can drink whatever I want, and in the winter, just pile on more clothes. No one notices anyway. And I live in a town where no one cares what you look like. A clean t-shirt is dressing up. But I'd like to…

I also agree with this. It is Friday.

Chocolate milk. Some studies have shown its a great post-workout recovery drink. The sugar, fat, and carbs replenish you body with calcium and vitamins to help restore you stores. I drink it after runs. It's cheaper and tastier then recovery mixes. Other studies have shown the specific calcium in dairy can help open fat…
