I hate when people get in my car and turn on my radio, period. If I wanted it on, i'd have turned it on myself!

One of my MFP friends mentioned on my wall that it my by the IT band, so I did a little looking and the symptoms and causes all seem to match. The increased running, together with my pronation and slightly bowed legs could be what did it. Now, to work on relaxing it...

Not a weight-lifting squat, just squatting to tie a shoe or something. I've been doing the same weight machines since I started and haven't added anything new. If anything, I'm doing a little bit less of them over a week than I used to. I'll definitely keep an eye on this and see if the pain keeps getting worse or starts…

This is the best thing ever!

Think about it. BMI uses too numbers to sum up your fitness: height and weight. That's it. It's a terribly incomplete method and can NOT be trusted.

I broke the 42-minute mark on my 5k on the treadmill! AND came oh-so-close to hitting a 4.5mph pace.

Looks interesting! You should just break these up and start a new topic for each day so everyone can reply to each question in the same thread with no confusion. Something like "Get to Know You Challenge 11-10" or something like that.

Why are you waiting 10 days? Why not tomorrow? Anyone, I sent you a friend request. Would love to support you on your journey.

Its a nice, concrete number. You can't fudge and say "oh, I met that goal" if you really haven't. It's not subjective. Yes, it's not all there is to fitness and yah, it's not the only number you could put to fitness (BMI, heart rate, 5k time, etc.) but it's a starting point. And as most people will probably tell you,…

It's just a matter of finding the intake that's good for you. I've noticed that the net number doesn't usually mean much in that if I net 1200 or if I net 500, I don't usually notice much difference in my energy level as long as the intake was enough. I try to stick around 1400-1500 intake and usually have plenty of energy…

HarHar. I HATE steppers. But they've been good to me, I suppose.

True story: The first time I read this through I read "keep your eyes on the pizza". Well, crap...

You can do this!

Good advice!

Thanks, everyone!

Wow! Congratulations. Lookin' good.

I'll Join! Current weight - 331 Goal weight - 306, but I'd sure love to bust out those last 6 pounds. Give myself a nice Christmas present of weighing under 300 for first time since high school.

Looks like "Circuit Training, General" is right on the money for the PF 30-minute express, assuming you do all 10 machines with steppers in between. Played around with the numbers and it matches up with the numbers Pappy and Pudgeman were getting and being told by PF.
