3 weeks straight is great!! You can do this! I do a lot of strength training and running and it's helped a bunch!! Plus the feeling after is great! Feel free to add me!

Try to shoot for 1.10 miles and go from there. Little successes! I actually like running outside more because you can gain strength by different paths. Up hills make your legs stronger, downhills gain speed. Different pavements, cement vs trails... Weather too! Warmer humid temps + sweating more = more calories lost! Wind…

Hi and welcome!!! Running is great for cardio! I do a lot of running myself, not as much as I did in the past because of injuries.(Went from running 5 times a week to 3 times a week) Are you just starting out running? A good goal to get to further distances is to increase the mileage by .10/week! That way your risk of…

That's awesome! Yeah I'm a giant! I'm hoping to drop some major pounds this summer. You're doing a great job so far with weight loss!!

I feel like I'm always injured because I run. (Sore achillies as we speak!) Do you have a gym you can go to? You can always do things for upper body while your acl is healing!

I'm looking to lose 70-80 pounds! Feel free to add me! Always like having new friends and motivation!

You can do it! I need to loose about 70-80 pounds as well.

I'm 31...5'10/5'11...230lbs I'm looking to get to 150-160lbs so I need to loose about 70 pounds I'm a "pet mom" to a 6 year old Shih Tzu...no kids. I love crafts, cooking, and gardening! I'm fairly active-gym three times a week, and run three days a week. Starting next week I'm training for my first marathon in December!

I'm looking to loose around 70 pounds as well! I got a game plan in mind and I know I could use support when the times get rough!

Im hungry all the time...but I also run and hit the gym. Try having 5 small meals in a day. Also water does fill you up!!

I'm trying to log in and record my food as much as I can! Feel free to add me as well!

Feel free to add me! I'm can always use more support and I'll be there to encourage as well!

I used to run 5 days non stop but I sprained my knee twice in 2013. Now I do the run/walk method with running more and walking less. It works for me and I've had no injuries since 2013! I actually run with a local running group so that helps.

Hello! I'm in the same boat. I'm hoping the food diary will help shed pounds! Good luck!

Hey! How often do you run or are you just getting into it? I run three times a week..2 short distances during the work week and a long run on Saturdays. I'm training for my first marathon at the end of the year. :)

Good luck on your weight loss journey! 10 pounds isn't much, you can do it!! :)

Hello! :)

Hi and welcome! If you don't mind me asking, what's garmin connect?

I'm in the same boat...I've been good for three days..haha Hoping to continue to log in and be motivated!

Hello and welcome! You mentioned fueling your body properly. When I worked with a trainer he gave me ideas of what to eat...lean meats-chicken turkey fish...after you work out have some protein because it will help rebuild muscles. I eat a lot of broccoli. My favorite way of eating is putting some spices on it like cumin,…

Hello and welcome! What about just plain walking? Do you have any trails near you? I benefit from walking hills a lot so it might help you as well! :)

I eat when I get bored at work but I'm being good this week! I have my food diary I'm keeping up with...well at least for the past 3 days lol Always looking for encouragement and support, especially the second half of this year! I'm 31 btw. :)

Welcome back! :) I would do both...cardio and strength. Cardio will help burn the calories which is always a good thing. Strength training will help build muscle! I work out 3 times a week at the gym, and run 3 days a week. Fridays are my only "off" days lol

I've pretty much plateaued myself for the past few months. I think it's because I work out so much that I'm gaining muscle but that's just a guess! Welcome!

Hello and welcome!! I could use some tips too!!

Texas girl here as well!! 6 pounds in 3 weeks is great! You'll get there-stay strong!

That's awesome! I've been on MFP for a while but just started with the food diary! Good luck to you in your journey. You will do great!!

Hi Maegan! This is what I'm doing-I find time to do something 6 days a week...weights, running, walking, abs, etc Use the tools that MFP gives you to track everything. These boards are what's keeping me coming back so I try to knock out my meals while I'm here. Plus on the app you can sync the MFP app to your phone or app…

Where in your knee do you feel discomfort? When I had a trainer he wanted me to get it checked out. I ended up spraining my knee near my meniscus. I use a brace I got at the grocery store when I run or do squats/lunges.
