  • I'm a fan of Progresso soups - I really like them, but that alone puts me over the top, sodium-wise. I also like to make a quick "Chefs Salad" by adding a few slices of deli meat, another salty addition. It's a bummer, but if you want to lower the sodium intake, you're going to have to change your food choices. MFP makes…

  • This... also, some feel that low sodium can also trigger cramps, although you'd never know if from me (I'm a salt-a-holic & still have a cramp issue)

  • When you mention calories burned per mile - are you using what you know to be the actual distance (a measured course) or Endo's GPS-computed miles? I ask, because the GPS in my phone is horrible, I can run what I know to be 5K, but Endomondo will log it as much more than 5K, & if you look at the map generated, it looks…

  • It seems that whenever I start obsessing-over how I've stalled, I'm falling behind & need to get-out there and workout, it's harder to get started. I personally need to stop analyzing how I need to workout... "it's a pain & I just don't think I can do it, now... maybe not today", and just start my workout. Sounds…

You ask how people overcome their emotional eating, then you tell what constitutes a wrong answer??? It all comes-down to making the conscious decision not to eat that pizza/soda/chocolate. There are NO…

  • Yeah I know, I'm a guy & these are men's running shorts - but I have several pairs of Asics 2N1 shorts, which are comfortable & have pockets. There is a liner, but it's not mesh... really-really, these are very comfy shorts!

    in Minimalist running shoes, with a weakened back Comment by jonchew April 2013
  • Yep, I completed it over a year ago, and have run at least 1 (usually 3) 5K(s) every week since. I'm 53, and NEVER ran before I started the C25K program.

  • I've noticed that Stevia tastes different, from brand to brand. Some brands are very bitter for me also. I've found a brand that is really quite good tasting... for me. I also like the taste of Truvia, but am not thrilled with the added chemistry, so, since I've found a brand of a more natural stevia that works for me, I'm…

  • I'm with EDesq on this one... It sounds to me like you're trying to hang your challenges (with regard to healthy eating) on your parents... (speaking as a parent) I frankly don't feel that you're really being fair to them. Are YOU having a problem maintaining control around all of that unhealthy food? If yes - than that is…
