  • Brand new here. Building up my distance again after having a stress fracture in August. Proceeding very cautiously, and I find that I can only run 2 or 3 days a week without feeling it in my shin, so I’m going to say I’m trying for 30 Miles in January. 1/2 - 2.25 miles

  • My husband always says to think about where you would be if you didn't keep starting over....probably in a pretty horrible place. So, maybe you aren't where you want to be, but perseverance counts for something

  • sounds weird, but floss and brush. If it's after dinner and I floss and brush, I'm too lazy to do it again, so i'd rather just not eat.....

  • same here! 5'5" 175. 130 is my goal. I'm fairly muscular naturally, so I think thats about as low as I would get safely.
    in 5'5 and 170lbs!! Goal is 120. Anyone have similar goals? Comment by mandtangedahl November 2016
  • Sweetie, I wish I was there so I could hug you. It sounds like you did what you could. There is nothing wrong with taking another job when you think you will be available, emergencies happen and no one can predict them, that's why they are emergencies. More importantly, you need to examine why what these people think of…

  • rest, sorry, but there's nothing else to do. we know an orthopedic surgeon and he said you need to rest shin splints, period, don't run while you're in pain. then you can try some of the suggestions other people have given for preventing them.

  • Have mfp friends and keep your diary completely open to them, that's been the key for me. without that accountability, I would have gone downhill by now for sure.

  • my goal is 1450 without excercise. I usually end up eating between 1600 and 1700 with excercise. I think people want to lose weight fast, but I've been losing consistently without feeling like I'm going hungry, which is key for me to continue.

  • definitely ask your doctor, but as for the people who are offended or think this "sounds weird" clearly they have never had children. someday they will feel ashamed of themselves for saying that. don't apologize, it's a legitimate question about a legitimate part of your body. but yes, i would ask your doctor.
