  • Is it a digital scale? I would go with the lighter weight. It is possible for a scale to have several different reading depending on how you stand on it and what type of floor it's on. I have tile floors so if I have it on the crack I get a different weight than if it's right in the middle of the tile. I hate the scale but…

  • How are your calories? I average about 1/2 lb to 1 lb a week and I eat a good portion of my exercise calories. That doesn't work for everyone but I exercise hard so I need those calories in order to keep losing and to keep my energy. If your calories are good then look at mixing up your exercise routine. Most of us stick…

  • I would eat at least half of your exercise calories. MFP add them back for a reason and if your body doesn't get enough calories based on your activity level, you won't lose. I personally eat most of my exercise calories. My beginning goal was to lose 8 lbs and I have lost 4 lbs so far. Everyone is different so I would…

  • I wish running made me not want junk food anymore:) Sounds like you are making good changes. Exercise is very important but the saying, you are what you eat, is so true.

  • Banking those calories won't necessarily reap more weight loss. I would suggest if you aren't hungry and you are losing weight then you are getting enough calories but if your calories are low and you aren't making any progress, your body might need more calories. Everyone is different but most days I eat my "exercise"…

  • I had never heard of it so I just looked it up. I too would like to know if anyone else has tried this product. Price seems very reasonable if it does what it says.

  • I've always been told to fuel within 45 minutes post exercise with carbs and protein. Protein will help your muscles in recovery which will make you stronger for your next run. Even chocolate milk can do the trick.

  • I normally take a full week off from running after a full and I do a few easy run days during the week following a half.

  • I am not a doctor but I do cycle quite a bit. I have had the same thing happen a few times but normally it is because I have gripped my handle bars too tightly for too long. Although my numbness has never lasted as long as yours. Maybe when you are riding in the wind, your grip becomes tighter? The other thing could be…
