I gave running a try ... nope, I need a couple more days.

December 14, 2025 in College Station, TX. (Between Austin and Houston) Registration hasn't opened yet: the web page says they open in Mid-May. I think getting a rock solid commitment from our Texas cohort is precursor to me getting worked up and planning the race. @Scott6255 @martaindale @kgirlhart @SummerSkier Ya'll going…

Welcome @karina3 Typically on MFP in the "Challenges" category of the forums we have one post for the whole month. (This is the May post) Log into MFP, go to the community forums, then look in the Challenges area, then scroll down to this Monthly Running Challenge thread. We keep it going for the month. Put your goals for…

Phentramine & Topiramate did not work for me, I tried it for 6 weeks and it was all side effects. After that attempt my healthcare put me on Tirzepatide (Zepbound) and that been work well for me.

@quilteryoyo I encourage you to embrace the broken forum and give us your large and spoiled pictures. Better to see them "wrong" than not to see them at all.

May Running Goal: 30 miles 6.3 lbs. monthly weight loss (209.3 lbs -> 203.0 lbs) ———————————————————— I'm Chris; I live in San Diego, California. I'm looking forward to a simple healthy month. I'm going to mix in yoga classes this month, probably three or four. It's been over a year, so it's exciting. I'm going to keep…

I'll start in on it. Thanks.

@daria0919 I'm glad to see you back at it. Hanging with grandkids sounds fun. Yes, here's to making it through a month with good health!

I wonder how many of these 10 year/4000+ day user have abandoned the "newsfeed-less" new MFP?

Ange, Thank you. Looks like we are all in. I'm ready to sign off of MFP groups. I have 15 years in this place and it doesn't serve me well anymore. Though I am grateful for the ideas, inspiration, and motivation I got here all these years. How will this work best? Tracking on the spreadsheet…and also an email thread? Or a…

I had the post-op call with the doctor yesterday and he gave a green light to begin activities again. I'm taking one more day, and over in "May" I'll get to pretend none of this happened, lace up my new shoes, and get back to running. See you over there. Congrats everyone, it was a banner month of long runs before things…

Tips? Don't listen to people here on MFP who have never used it. They may know a lot of stuff, and have a lot of experiences to share, but they don't have experience with GLP-1. It has been FDA approved for a couple of decades, and it's use cases have grown and evolved over time. You and your doctor are about to see a…

Can we come up with a different name than "image thingy"? I was trying out links, but thanks for posting that one. It isn't the same for most users here, perhaps in your particular "link" use case you aren't seeing any differences.

I'm recovering and on track. It's not super fun or easy, but this is hopefully a one and done thing. I haven't hit my running goal once this year…pretty bad. April Running Goal :30 miles I ran 20.58 miles in April so far. I felt good and was enjoying it…but life sometimes has different ideas.

I'm pretty committed to being right. ( 😀 ) I think US is going to have higher shoe prices soon and I'm also committed to keeping up with running. So I sprung for two, both of my last two shoes, which worked well. One is very neutral (ASICS) the other has a tiny bit of support (NB). Usually wides come in a plethora of color…

Looks like it is very restrictive, except the basics in the "landscape button"

I am alive. No complications. I'll probably start moving around in a couple of days. Hopefully I'll be without restrictions in a week or ten days. Thanks all for the well wishes. If this all goes to plan I'll have a health issue completely resolved. That's good.

Buckled in and ready to go.

Oy! I'm heading to the hospital tomorrow for an outpatient procedure. It's going to require some recovery, and I'm not sure how long (a couple of days? a couple of week?) This path toward health, fitness, and a good weight is bumpy and disjointed. 4/3 1.04M at 13'44 4/5 2.39M at 14'31 4/7 1.88M at 13'58 4/10 1.18M at 17'33…

I'm in. MFP is badly broken, and I just want a nice crew with whom to track my progress. I am in one other group that I like, and there is nothing else with MFP that keeps me here. Send the link please.

Guess…

Novablast and Mach 5....got it. Thanks, I'll go look for the extrawides. Happy Birthday @John772016 You sure will remember this one. Hope you get well soon

@SummerSkier "what sort of running shoes are you going to go for ? We will require photos." I'm all alone here having the world's widest foot. I'm trying to discover a new option and may have found one. My last two both work, and there is this third new one so I am still weighting my options. $140 Asics GEL-CUMULUS 27…

After a long work week I went on an easy run. 4/3 1.04M at 13"44 4/5 2.39M at 14"31 4/7 1.88M at 13"58 4/10 1.18M at 17"33 4/12 1.97M at 16"26 4/14 1.99M at 14"18 4/16 2.06M at 13"56 4/18 1.99M at 14"02

@ContraryMaryMary "Fiordland have over six metres of rain annually " Wow. Thanks for the pics, your trip sounds so peaceful.

Hello all, I got a neighbor run in. I might have to start shopping for new shoes soon. 2.06 miles at 13'56"

@chris_in_cal heard there were tremors where you are yday? Rockin' and Rollin' it was 50km from my office and a strong one. There was very little damage overall and none for me personally. For all you tornado, hurricane, typhoon, cyclone, locust, etc. people, it's just another thing. Perhaps even a little fun.

Hello All, I ran 2 miles at 14'29"

Good to see this pop up. Thanks @tinkerbellang83

@MJPitter It is good of you to show up here. Of course we all know consistency and showing up is the foundation of health, happiness, wellbeing, and vibrancy. It isn't always a first choice, but having this great core group of people here who show up regularly makes it a little easier. See you around. @Mari33a He's lucky…
