Amazing work!

All of you who are new to this or are considering starting a C25K program, let me encourage you to join the "Couch to 5K Running Program (C25K)" group on MFP. It's a great group of people all in the same boat as you, either now or in the past, who provide lots of great encouragement and advice. You'll quickly find you're…

Football. All the people, all the time, all they talk about is the effing football. I love everything about Fall, but this.

OMFG only on MFP could a simple question about snacks turn into a catfight.

As stated above, HRM is used for specific activity calorie burn (usually aerobic) and Fitbit is used for overall activity tracking. I have a Polar FT4 HRM and a Fitbit One. LOVE THEM BOTH. Got the Fitbit for Christmas last year (my request) and have worn it every day since. I use it primarily to track my activity levels…

Been thinking about this all morning, and I am really worried about my son's future in this regard. I mean, I don't think he is even cognizant of the fact that his sheets get changed on a regular basis. Hell, he usually has them kicked off the bed by the end of the week anyway. Really need to get him trained to not only…

When DH and I first started dating, I lived 3 hours away and didn't get to see him very often. Even so, I am quite certain the same sheets stayed on his bed for the first 6 months of our relationship until he moved to another place. I was glad when I moved in with him and had an excuse to do his laundry. He is a clean guy…

I have one going back to early January. It's a combination of what you both mentioned--calories, macros, exercise burn from HRM, menstrual cycle, weight. I also add my fitbit steps and fitbit calories burned. I also worked some calculations in there for Net Calories eaten. I haven't had any aha! moments in looking at the…

I completely understand this, and for me it all depends on the context of the situation. If I'm at work and trying to just do my job and someone I don't really know goes out of their way to stop me and make a comment, I get freaked out and I'm thinking, "CREEPER! HOW DARE YOU LOOK AT ME!!!", and can't get away fast enough.…

Lol. I thought the same thing yesterday when I did it. We had a couple hills in there and the warmer weather/humidity were back, so I am blaming my struggles on that. Had to walk a couple times. We are going to go back to the mostly-flat run tomorrow for W6D2, so hoping for a little better performance for the 2x10's.

Saturday, I finally completely W5D3 after trying on and off for 6 weeks. I had been stalled on this run since the end of June, making a couple honest attempts then taking a break from the "official" program due to the weather, a vacation, crazy schedule, and the snakes in my brain. Last week I started running with a couple…

Dude. Had my first drink at age 14 and had my first drunken shenanigans before I got to the next birthday. One of the worst incidents at that age happened when my parents were out of town. I was drunk in the middle of the afternoon and walking around the neighborhood with my best friend. We saw a friend on his moped and I…

The first time I saw it, before I googled it, I thought it meant "Quit F***ing Talking".

Sorry that you are dealing with so many stresses in life. Sometimes those, and seeing the pain others are dealing with, are enough to provide you the boost you need to kick your own butt in gear. It says this on my page, but one of the things that really lit a fire in me was having knee pain and realizing I could end up on…

Feel free to add me! I'm 42 and in the upstate :)

Motivation cannot be found on (or in) a computer screen. If you really have the desire in your heart to change your lifestyle and lose weight, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find excuses. It may help you to simply start logging everything right now, just to see your eating patterns and where your numbers lie.…

I've had a couple different models for my iphone. One was a neoprene-type pocket that strapped to my arm. That thing would get so hot during my runs that it felt like it was burning my skin. It was also pretty bulky on the arm and hard to access the phone to change apps, check music, etc.. The front plastic ended up…

Lifelong sugar freak here. I would eat just about any candy or chocolate I could get my hands on for years, going back to early childhood. Unfortunately sugar can create some pretty nasty cravings and I found that it usually ended up being the saboteur of many diet attempts. In fact, when I first joined MFP last November…

Great news--you've already taken the most important first step! Feel free to add me, and welcome :)

I could see that a person would know nothing about cocoa powder, if that person didn't grow up in a house with a person who baked things from scratch and also teach you how to bake. Lucky for me, my mom baked a lot. Unlucky for me, before I learned to bake I learned the hard way you can't eat the stuff plain. Kinda like…

About 10 years ago my husband came home from a yard sale with a portrait of John F. Kennedy. He showed it to our son (who was in pre-school at the time) and jokingly asked him if he knew who it was. Son lit up like a bulb and announced, "THAT'S GEORGE BUSHINGTON!!!" To this day, whenever we see any photo or video of JFK we…

I am interested! :happy:

My son is 14 and has been a part of Scouting since he was in 1st grade. We are part of an amazing troop and I can honestly say it's the best activity he's ever been a part of. He attends Summer camp every year, and a physical exam and physician sign-off is required. Frankly, I don't feel like camp is nearly as high-energy…

That wasn't the style in the 90's, and besides I have thrown out all my pre-preg clothes. I am not comfortable enough with my body to wear low-rise pants but hope to get there one day. I don't want them high on the waist, either. Somewhere comfortably in between to minimize muffin topping. Thanks for the suggestions. I…

Thanks for the wonderful feedback--this is EXACTLY what I was looking for! The weekend in LA as part of the trip was my idea. My goal is to work in a variety of things to see, do, and eat. I have only been to LA once, when I was 15, and my time was very sheltered--not to mention it was almost 30 years ago so I have little…

How exciting! I started C25K a few months ago and have been doing it as I am able and the weather cooperates. I'm another one of those who walked in elementary school gym class and thought I was going to pass out during Week 1 of the program. I'm currently in Week 5; kind of stuck because the humidity is messing with my…

5'11" and have been overweight all my life; obese for the last 15 years. Starting weight on MFP was 255 and that was pretty much my highest non-pregnant weight. Sadly, it was also not far from my highest pregnant weight. Anyway I'm in the low 220's right now after about 8 months on MFP and 6 months of really dedicated…

WAY TO GO!!! So proud of you :) I'll bet that feels totally amazing.
