Thanks for the tip. :) I’ll see if a store in Rochester or my local Physical therapist does that. So far, at the suggestion of my chiropractor, I’ve been seeing a massage therapist, and she includes my calf in my session. I may try a different massage therapist that my boyfriend swears by. I do some strength workouts and I…

Thanks everyone, I’ll keep this in mind. I remember still eating like a marathoner post-race last time and I can see how that contributed to my gradual weight gain. Since starting MFP It’s been interesting to see how I can eat just a bit less and somehow I don’t die. :)

I’m training for Grandma’s Marathon. This will be my second marathon. Along the way, I’ll find a half-marathon. :) I did my first (again @ Grandma’s) two years ago. The first 15 miles went great. It was a very warm day, however, and despite my best efforts to hydrate and get salt, I got a terrible leg cramp, and had to…

I follow Jeff Galloway’s run-walk-run programs. (He has published several books about this.) Depending on your fitness/experience level and speed, he recommends different ratios of walking and running, and you can change as you progress. He, too, has beginners who are unaccustomed to exercise begin with walking. I do 4…

I felt that I was starving at first, and was going to give up, but I changed my settings from “Lose 1lb per week” which had me at 1480 a day to “Lose .5 lb per week,” which has me at 1740. This has been much easier to maintain. I’ve never stuck to a CICO plan as long as I have recently, and I think that’s cause I finally…

So am I a special kind of crazy if one of my fitness motivations is that I’m pretty certain my boyfriend will propose this summer or fall? Just getting a head start... lol :blush: :::checks her private Pinterest premature wedding-planning board::: :smiley:

8-10 pounds is my goal. I’m right on the line between normal and overweight BMI. (5’6” —150 lbs) I usually just focus on exercise (distance running) when I want to trim down, but I’m trying to be more careful with food too now, since I spent the 2nd half of last year stress eating. I’ve been at this most of January, and am…

The Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Press is about 100 cal for a Medium, if I remember correctly. I’m more of a black coffee person, but when I want something sweet and creamy, this one is nice and subtle. Also, I’m not sure if you have the mobile app or not, but it shows you a lot of options to customize. For example, I’d order…

I'm in a similar situation. My BMI is on the highest end of the healthy range though. I'm also 150 lbs, but im 5'6. I got my composition measured at 29/30% fat. I think a realistic goal is a to get fit again and be back to about 142, which is where I was when I was training for a marathon. In the past, I mainly focused on…

I hate the term "clean" eating so much! It's vague and just loaded with judgemental, disordered, and dare I say elitist/classist undertones. (Yeah, I'm going there today.) It could mean a bunch of different things to different people. If you mean whole foods, say whole foods. If you mean vegan, say vegan. Low carb, say low…

I came home from a hard workout and my friend came over with pizza, which I’ve always had a hard time exercising restraint over while I eat it. In the past, I’ve had to choose the lowest calorie pizza, because whatever comes out of the oven usually ends up getting eaten by me in one night. I’m a fairly healthy eater, but…

Hi, I just wanted to share my experience with AA. I think everyone you'd meet who you'd know well enough that they'd admit they're in the program is on a different part of their journey. I have to say that 3.5 years into sobriety, I don't worry about drinking much at all. I go to AA meetings to help other alcoholics find…
