Good morning

Oh *kitten* I didn't realize there was a *kitten* expletive filter on these boards! It truly feels like *kitten* GoaD again!!!

Coming clean: I still haven't run since I've been back from vacation. I keep telling myself I will in the mornings but by the time I get home in the afternoon something else pops up or I simply blow it off. I'm scouting out fall races currently to get my *kitten* in gear. Found a 4 mile trail race in late September that I…

Here I am.

I generally don't carry water on most of my runs unless they are over an hour, and I haven't had one of those in a long time. The park I usually run in has several water stops along the way and I stay very hydrated throughout the day. I'm planning on getting a short run in either Sat or Sun.

Here!

Howdy all. Just got back from a long vacation out in Colorado, which included 3 days in the back country - Chicago Basin to be exact. Nothing like 6,000 ft of elevation gain to give you a reality check on your fitness level. I haven't been running much of the summer, and the plan is to get a training regimen going again -…

Hell no! I know you said this is not a place to spew my political feelings, but I can't help but promote my candidate of choice: Giant Meteor will end discrimination, corruption, and gun violence, just to name a few issues. Vote Giant Meteor!! But in all seriousness, I really wish we could just try the primaries over again.

Reading about how to approach food differently has been a great help for me along the way. The message boards were a big help for me, and I recently read "Food Rules" by Michael Pollan, and just started "Omnivore's Dilemma" by the same - I'm enjoying both so far.

Good morning, here

Howdy everyone.

Charlie, I believe you can friend other MFP members. Just click on their names and it goes to their profile, then there is an option to add as a friend. You can then send private messages or write on his or her wall.

I think of "stickies" as posts that stay at the top of the thread instead of moving down chronologically, such as faqs or something about the board. But I think the announcement feature at the top is just as good, so no probably no need for it!

7 more years! 7 more years!

Ahhh! So this answers some of the questions I just asked below with the moderation options. The "announcement" section acts as kind of the "stickie" I was looking for.

Morning, I am here.

I'm pretty happy about the GoaD migration over to MFP. I switched over here a couple of years ago and it'd be great to have MFP people find the GoaD board to absorb some of that classic GoaD wisdom. I haven't found a community group quite like the GoaD board here, so hopefully this place starts bouncin!

I've moved to MFP quite a while ago, but was checking GoaD from time to time. Hope others make the move as well.

Feel free to add me, and I'll add you back!

Ahh yes. I'm going for that Cap'n America look. Thanks again for all the good stuff. Had a 2 lb loss this week after going quite a bit over my cals this weekend, so just trying to figure out what my body needs for consistent losses.

And just a little about myself. I used to weight 295, am now 214. My lowest was 194, but I gained some back. I'm looking to get lean and strong. I'm 6'3, 26, run 3 days a week (3-4 miles) but prefer distance. Sidelined because of an IT band injury. Just starting to incorporate lifting. Have trouble with motivation. When my…

I think you've given a ton of great information, and I just wanted to thank you for taking the time.

Personally, I don't think there is a much of a difference between name brand and generic multivitamins. I go for the walgreens one-a-day brand.

I was at a friend's house and they had a Wii Fit. I got on for the weigh in, and I watched the little avatar blow up until it was obese. That was back when I weighed 270. I'm 214 now, and still working to get to my goal of 180.
