Compared to other fitness webistes, yes I find it the most accurate and the most comprehensive. Remember that mfp is self-maintained. So it is up to us members to help keep the database as accurate as possible. Make corrections if you see something inaccurate and when loading foods, be as specific as you can with brands,…

This sounds like poor circulation. Full disclaimer; I strongly suggest that you discuss symptoms of poor circulation with your doctor. If you’re experiencing uncomfortable symptoms, they may be the sign of an underlying health condition. HOWEVER, if MFP is your guide here goes. It could be something simpler like improper…

My humble suggestions: 1 Warn up THEN stretch then run. I know, sounds simple, but made a difference on my shins. 2 Go to sports store, have your stride examined. Make sure your shoes is the right fit for the way you run. 3. Invest in a brace. 3 Strength train more. Particularly your legs. I could give you a 3 hour lecture…

You have a great suggestions so far on the portion sizes; smaller plates, food scale, measuring etc. To help with the “I still feel hungry” I suggest more filling snacks. Two snacks in between may not be enough. I snack ALL day. Bananas, things with tons of fiber like low sugar fruits, mixed nuts, hard boiled eggs (provide…

The short and very simple answer/truth is you need BOTH plus eating at a healthy calorie deficit to be successful.

On the computer: Go to the Food Diary Go to the meal you would like add Select Quick Tools at the bottom You can chose to copy from yesterday or from a specific date. The entire meal will copy and you can just delete those things that are not repeats. p.s. could not find this option on the iphone app, but I did not look…

I found this page very helpful when I first started. http://www.runnersworld.com/beginners-only You have some good advice here. Form, shoes and surface are your main culprits for pain. Also stretching properly after and warming up sufficiently before are key to prevent injury and minimize pain. Some very experienced…

very helpful. thanks!

You will have some soreness, especially if you are new to it, and that is ok. It’s usually from muscles that maybe have not been worked before, or worked to that intensity. To minimize injury and to make sure the soreness does not affect your ability to work out again, do lots and lots of stretching before and especially…

I also recommend a live class initially, if one is available. There are some yoga studios in my area that charge per class ($10) so you can take a couple. Rodney Yee DVDs are usually pretty good and some of them have the option to view instructional previews first. However, from my experience, “looking” at a pose and…

Feel free to add me; anyone not just OP. I have been on here a while, took a break and now back at it seriously again. All I ask is for support. And yes, I always give it back.

Another vote for Danskin brand. Cheap and stretchy. Found also on Amazon if you can't find at Walmart or Target.

Yes, went with Fitbit Aria. It is great! It does sync with mfp and does not require as many additional downloads as the Withings. Relied on Amazon reviews instead. It seems mfp forums are now for insulting people or seeing whose hot or not rather than focusing on nutrition and fitness. A shame. I used to enjoy the…

Spinning is now my favorite workout! You will love it. Your butt will be in some major hurt for a few days and I agree it will take several classes for you to get used to it. Spin varies greatly by instructor so hopefully you have a good one. For your first class, focus on your form and what feels “acceptable” to you…..…

The steps you described above are to enter in your food diary recipes you have already created. You must first create the recipes, then when you are ready add it. Go to Food- Recipes on the right (next to Settings). Your list should be black. Click “Enter New Recipe” on the right. Enter the name (whatever you want to call…

Imagine a straight line from your lower back to the top of your head (means straight neck). Chin up and lift using your abs. Don’t worry about height until you build your core muscles strong enough to lift you. If you have your hands behind your head, they should be barely touching, just enough to keep the neck aligned but…

Very possible, but very challenging. I say do it to give yourself the push. Tons of awesome training sites out there. You will need a 1) running buddy or running group. One that welcomes all paces. 2) To Run 3-4 races in between now and then. A few 5miles to start, 10 miles then ½ marathons. Not sure where you live but for…

Exceptionally well said.

Looks like mi miss nuff new people. Hi everyone. Went home over spring break. I have a whole lot of oxtail and dumpling to work off :) Sending some friend requests. Glad to meet everyone.

I am a vodka soda water with a spritz of Mio myself. Not only because of the low calorie, but also the low sugar. You can also try flavored vodka and soda (but I think they have more sugar). I have to say, I recommend getting a work out in. Its good to pay attention to your calories so you don’t want to let your guard…
