It might help in the long run to carefully strengthen your knees with squats and lunges. I had some weakness and pain in my left knee that bothered me when running and those exercises really helped. But it took a couple months and I had to take it really slow. I wore a knee brace, too, for a bit that seemed to help! I…

A daily snack of mine is 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese (90 calories) with red grapes. I eat this everyday and the combination is SO delicious. So that's 90 cals plus whatever amount of grapes you use. Very filling! Also one serving of raw, unsalted almonds is 160 calories easy and incredibly good for you.

Man people do some weird stuff to apples! I like them the way they are, skin and all. Makes my digestive system happy, they're filling, and they take a little work to eat so they keep ya busy.

Agreed!

Before the days of MFP I actually went out to eat, care free, and had a good time on the weekends. Now I worry and calculate and google nutrition facts and I feel like such a buzz kill. And when I do splurge I feel guilty. I used to be 10lbs heavier but I worried so much less. I know I can't go back at this point…

AGREED!! I love Beachbody products, in fact P90X has been the greatest thing to ever happen to me. But I can't stand their marketing ploys! It isn't a pyramid scheme, but it's almost borderline pyramid scheme. They say they're in it to help other people reach their fitness goals, but their primary goal is to create more of…

I've lived in the South my whole life, most of if in the very humid, very rainy Gulf Coast. I actually like the humidity! When you run in it it's like there's water in the air. But you do have to drink a TON of water to stay alive.

Sounds OCD, not jokingly, but seriously. But as long as it doesn't interfere with normal operations of your life, who cares? We are all a little crazy! I'm a neurotic, often depressed, self hating, alcoholic. i can't judge anybody! I don't do anything weird with food. I do feel guilty eating when I haven't worked out at…

I have a desk job, want to lose weight, and I have zero interest in eating 1200 calories a day! So I make deals with myself. I've actually gotten in really great physical shape thanks to MFP because of all the compromises I do with myself. I say to myself "you want that for dinner tonight?You better work out then,…

I've been running for about 6 or 7 years. Anytime I fall out of it for a couple weeks, for injury, winter, laziness, then pick it back up again? I get the itch. Around the butt and hips. I don't know what it is!! But I take it as motivation to pull myself out of the slump. As I run more and more it goes away, maybe because…

Good for you!! I'd like to get into it a little heavier, even though I don't think my boyfriend likes it. I LOVE having muscle. I get this sense that I can take care of myself, you know?

I've tried to figure it out too... but depending on how much I sweat, i can lose 2lbs just after a long run outside. When I wake up in the morning I can be 3-4lbs lighter and have gained it back by the end of the day (i weigh myself a lot out of curiousity). I can drop a couple pounds just taking a #2. So.... I wouldn't…

I'd like to know people's answers too. I quit soda for a couple months and was so proud of myself. I had always hated diet soda, but after quitting the sugary stuff for so long when I tried diet soda again I was like "Not so bad!" and now I drink it as much as I used to drink the regular kind. I want to give it up, but I…

I'm also trying to find a balance between P90x and running. What I found is P90X greatly improved my running speed, actually. The plyometrics and legs & back work out also really strengthened my legs. What I try to do now is both. It's been tough working both into my schedule, but I'm seeing awesome progress. I usually…

Like somebody else said, by your diary nobody can even tell what you're eating. On one day you quick added 1200 into one meal and that was it. I don't like to assume anything about anybody, but my guess is you aren't being accurate with your calorie counting. I really don't understand how somebody can exercise daily, eat…

I ate candy as a kid, mostly on holidays. But my mom also didn't alow soda in the house or junk food cereal. And instead of fruit rolls up in my lunch like all the other kids, I'd have applesauce. If we ate out we had two choices, we could have soda with our meal OR we could have dessert. Not both. I was also very active.…

Keep up the good work.

Wait did you post this a second time? You're really trying to start something aren't you?

I take my regular coffee with a pinch of sugar and a tablespoon of flavoured creamer. I log it and it really doesn't put the slightest dent into my diary. I haven't had to sacrifice coffee drinks at all!

I would end it. I was in a marriage for 4 years that lacked a healthy sexual relationship. It never got better and I never grew attracted to him. But I still tried to make it work. Now that i'm in a healthy relationship, I can't believe I spent so many years being unsatisfied and miserable. You sound miserable. Get out and…

See this is why I stopped eating yogurt everyday... I was noticing how much sugar they all have. So I picked up the Light Yoplaits. Okay, less fat, but still a ton of sugar. I never go over my fat, so I don't care about low fat, no fat foods. Plus fat free foods are loaded with weird ingredients the regular kinds don't…

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I'm not going to judge you. I've been there, done that. Been on both sides. I'm 26 and already divorced. It is NOT worth it. It will only end in drama for everyone. And if he tries to lean on your shoulder and tell you about how awful his wife is and what a victim he is? Well he wouldn't be the first or the last to play…

I gave up fast food, which I thought I loved. Then I had it over the weekend. What did I see in it? It's god awful. Other than fast food, I haven't given up ANYTHING. I just do a lot more math than I used to.

Disagree. I say, limit it to one night a week. Get a REALLY good work out in earlier that day. And really watch your calories that day too. If you want beer, fit it into your schedule! I personally don't want to live in a world with no beer, I don't know about you =)

I don't think pasta is so bad. What makes it so high in calories a lot of the time is the sauce. I love pasta, so I pick low calorie sauces! Nothing feels better than pasta for dinner after a hard workout. If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right =)

Yep, just modify! I still do a lot of the pushups from my knees and gradually I'm getting better and better. And Tony suggests pushup bars with those with wrist issues.

If I had a nickel for everytime a fast food person rolled their eyes at me when I wouldn't opt for the "better deal" I'd have a lot of nickels. So what if it's cheaper to get more crappy food than less crappy food? I know if I started out with more, I'd eat more! What am I supposed to do, get the better deal and then throw…

Do your clothes feel any differently on you? Give it a month and you will see a change somewhere. It's impossible not to.

Why are you yelling =( Do you sweat a lot? When I'm active and sweating I have to pee less because my body is using and losing it, I guess.
