  • I get that sometimes when I run, and I just keep going, but I take in some DEEP breaths through my nose, exhale through my mouth and it goes away. I'm too stubborn to stop or slow down!! LOL As you build up your endurance, you will be able to go longer without the pains! :) GREAT Job in committing to the c25k!!! Woot!!!

  • I weigh things on my digital kitchen scale. Usually in grams. I find that, when using measuring cups with solids, little air pockets make it inaccurate, and with liquids it is less waste to measure it right into the bowl while it is on the scale. :)

  • My hubby & I don't eat after 9PM, even if we have calories left. :) We usually save enough for a good snack and eat it close to 9PM, then we are done for the night. :bigsmile: Also, we do not go over our calories, even if we are hungry, we are just done when they are gone. :ohwell: So this takes a little discipline to…

  • What is your "Daily Normal Activities" set to under "Goals"?? Make sure it is truly your every day activity level. I always keep mine at "Sedentary", since I spend a majority of time behind the computer. Also, you have to keep the Big Picture in mind, it's not day to day or even week to week weight, it's habits and a…

  • Yes, MFP does change the calories burned when you lose weight!! You have to re-enter the cardio exercise, not just click the box when you reach a new weight and it will re-adjust.
