Asthmatic Distance Running Outdoors — HELP
I've been running pretty regularly on treadmills for over two years, but want to start running outside to be kinder to my joints and to go farther distances. I am currently running an average 3-4 miles at a time comfortably and can do up to a 10K on a treadmill (although my hips are very sore the next couple days), but can…

Venting - anyone else a lone wolf?
I've come to realize over the last few years that I cannot exercise with a partner. The social connection completely keeps me from getting into my zone and doing good work because I'm too busy thinking about whether or not they want to talk or if I'm keeping them from doing something else they want to do, or what have you.…

BMR Confusion?
So MFP says my BMR is 1730, so I've had my goal set at 1700, but going over frequently and thusly gaining weight. I checked a few more sites (seemed pretty reputable), and they all said under 1700? One as low as 1500? And my FitBit has it waaayyy up at 2400 and I don't know how to change it. I'm keeping it low (1600) just…

Loose Skin
Hello friends! MFP help me lose about 40 pounds last spring! I took part of the summer and the fall off and gained about 10 back in that time, which isn't awful, but I'm back and keeping an eye on it. What's been very discouraging to me is that, even though I've lost the weight, my stomach is still squishy. I can feel the…

Exercise Schedule
Hey friends! If you're like me, I enjoy many small, bite-sized chunks. My goals are to run a 10K by June (I can manage a 5K on good days right now) and to be able to do weight comfortably (I'm a wuss) What I think would help me get here are schedules! Please recommend some schedules for me, especially for weights (actual…

Holiday Help! (Veggie/Vegan)
Hello there! I'm a new veg person. I became a vegetarian in April/May and went vegan over the summer and so far things have been going great and I regret not doing it sooner. I did lag on fitness to focus on that, so I did gain a couple pounds, but hey, I'm back. My main concern at the moment, both in terms of fitness and…

Holiday Help
Hello there! I'm a new veg person. I became a vegetarian in April/May and went vegan over the summer and so far things have been going well! My main concern at the moment, both in terms of fitness and of ethics, is the approaching holidays. I'm afraid I will have to revert back to vegetarianism for the holidays, which…

Back at it and looking for new friends!
Hello everyone! I used MFP last spring as LaceyRuth, and lost almost 40 pounds, but got out of the swing of things in the midst of finals and going vegetarian at the same time. This summer, I decided to focus on summer school and becoming a vegan since I had reached my fitness goals of the time. Now, I'm up a few pounds…

Round 2
Hello, everyone. This is my second time on MFP. I was on as LaceyRuth from November to just recently, logging well from February to about May or June when I decided to go vegan. I put weight loss on hold until I could figure everything out. I lost nearly 40 pounds when I logged, but have gained about 5 since I lost touch,…
