i get those comments all the time especially from this one lady that has been on every fad diet you can think of and she's telling me that im doing it all wrong!

what kind of cereal are you eating? I eat bran cereal or oatmeal (complex carbs) with protien. If you have your cereal with high fiber or protien you shouldnt be hungry, not unless youre eating something with lots of sugar in it

i have the same problem about my right hip dropping causing pains in my inner legs and knee. my PT had to find out which muscles were weak causing the drop and it was both my hip and ab muscles that were weak. he's having me do several exercises such as side planks and leg lifts to strengthen those muscles. I suggest…

add me!

im 5' 1/2" and im fluctuating between 118 and 120 (118 is my pre marathon weight). im pretty comfortable on where im at right now. If i start training again for a race, i know i would drop a few more pounds. I would like to drop more body fat, but gain more muscle. something like that would throw your weight off, so i…

first im doing a 4 mile Gobbler Run in the am so im burning some calories and getting my metabolism started for the day. Then im cooking the Turkey and other sides to take to my in laws house for Lunch. Most of the sides i make are low in calories or sugars and i do try to cook healthy. I keep in mind that whatever i eat,…

im at my goal weight, but i use this to keep my self accountable and its also a good website if you plan on keeping up with a maintenance program No one is forcing you to stay with this website. If you think its ruining your life, leave the website

#2 - when i was a kid, i went shopping with my friend's aunt and she said that if i was 'skinny' i would be able to wear nice clothes like my friend.

ive got a plastic floor mat under my chair at work and it was cracking. ONe of the managers came up to me and asked if i was some heavy weight because i broke it. Another was my husbands cousin who patted me on the butt and said that my *kitten* was getting wide

yes and my PT (personal trainer and a physical therapist) said it was weakness in those muscles. Have to make sure when XT i work those muscles and make sure that i thoroughly stretch before and after my workouts

My former PT trains the local Fire Dept, so thats enough proof if he has to train the people that saves lives. Ive also seen other people that he trained in the past that lost tons of weight from him. He taught me not only to exercise effectively but also how to eat, in fact, he's the one that told me about MFP.

sounds like side stitch. Have you been hydrating yourself? Also have you been taking deep breaths while running?

arms, shoulders and abs. i want to see my muscles not just when im lifting or flexing

Thats is so BS. There are so many articles in Runnersworld magazine and Active.com that talks about the importance of strength training and how it helps minimize muscle injury

my nutritionist and trainer said that since i do a lot of running and strength training, in order for me not to lose muscle mass my protien intake should be between 130-140 grams.

not all diets work for everyone. I was on weight watchers, i never lost anything and i tried So. Beach and every other diet you can think of. I found Body for Life and it worked for me just because the exercise and training is close to what ive been already doing, then being on MFP that also helped me so much more. get off…

calories and protien. but if im doing a marathon, a week before my race ill flip it to carbs and protien.

what have you been eating? At work, Ill have plain bran flakes, unsweetened milk with a scoop of protien and a banana. Or oatmeal with a scoop of protien and some banana and a scoop of peanut butter. Usually its under 400 calories. i try to eat something thats well balanced in complex carbs and high protien. Weekends ill…

I love my stick. I used it right after my long runs when i was training for my first marathon and it SO helped my quads and glutes. Its worth the $40!

my first HM my time was 2:25. A year later my PR is at 2:07...Im hoping to be sub 2 by next spring (keeping my fingers crossed)!

its processed food...nothing healthy about it, lots of sodium and preservatives

my PT said mid to toe striking is better that heel striking. Heel striking can lead to injuries since the force of your landing is absorbed by your heel and shins. There are several articles in active.com and runnersworld.com that talk about it

I have 3 races planned. In May I have 2 HM that im really pushing for 2:00. In June I have a full marathon and my goal would be 4:40. Its gonna be tough since its getting close to winter and my runs are going to depend on the weather

ill have a cheat day here and there for something im craving like wings or pizza, you cant deprive yourself of your favorite foods. I just make sure that if i do eat something bad, that i can burn it off the next day

im 5'0 and at my heaviest i was a size 10. Now im at a bizarre size 2. I never thought i would be this size...I was never this small, even when i was a kid!!

my fat clothes that i have in my closet and pictures before i lost all my weight...UGH!!

My sports therapist said to incline to 2 since it simulates actual outside running resistance.

dress for temps 20 degrees warmer this is so that you dont overheat. i use a wide headband to keep my ears warm and gloves. i guess it depends how hot you get and other factors like wind, rain, snow. Ive ran in temps as low as 15 degrees. if its windy i use like a base layer and windpants and also a breathable wind jacket.…

I agree. A heavier person has to work their heart twice as hard vs. someone that weighs less. Also if you want to burn more calories, keep your heart rate at 75%-85% of your maximum rate. For myself, my max heart rate is 175, so i need need to keep my heart rate between 131-148. Using a HRM will help you tremendously in…
