Morning Drink Alternatives?
I’ve figured out that as much as I love breakfast foods, breakfast and I don’t really jive too well. If I eat breakfast before work, I can’t stop thinking about food all day and find myself feeling really snacky and famished by the time I get home. Basically, if I have breakfast, I feel prone to overeating and making worse…

Life after C25K?
So, I'm set to graduate Couch 2 5K next week and I plan to keep running after I finish the program. I'm really motivated by increasing my distance over time and always have been. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out where I should go from here? I've been using the ZenLabs Couch210K app, but I don't like that it…

"Why should I use a food scale?"
So, I was in the middle of prepping dinner when suddenly, I remembered seeing a zillion posts of people not understanding why a food scale is useful to have when trying to lose weight.

It took me until 10 entries down to find an entry that had grams instead of "one each" "one medium apple" or "one large apple". It had fluid ounces listed as a measuring option.…

Dumbbell workout help?
So, I don't have access to a barbell, but I do have access to a full rack of dumbbells! My main problem is that I never know what a sufficient workout is? I usually just make stuff up as I go and I don't like the aimless feeling. I've been using 5 and 10 lb weights to do bicep curls, squats, tricep extensions, chest…

Balancing rest days with other workouts?
I was doing the C210K app until about week 4 before I went rogue and just started making my own intervals. I know the app recommends a rest day after every running day, but I've been getting 8-10k steps for Fitbit challenges and lifting between running days. I have one "proper" rest day a week where I'm only taking 8-10k…

Am I doing this right? :)
Hi friends! I'm mostly just looking for reassurance that I'm not doing anything stupid on accident, so I figured I would post here. I'm 22, F, 5'5, 158 lbs. I'm looking to drop down to 130ish. My daily calorie goal is 1400, which I think was a bump over what MFP told me I should be eating. I don't really have a plan for…
