Tell me its going to be ok...
So i lost 20kg - 44lb a couple of years ago, and for the last 2 years I've essentially maintained. This is my year to lose the last 20lb. I've had my diary set to lose 0.75kg per week for the last year or so. I haven't been great at logging, I've been on and off. For the last month I've been really good at logging etc, and…

Do you trust Pizza Hut?
So just had pizza for dinner, and I actually weighed my pizza before eating it. I had 2 slices (one regular size, one small) that weighed 93 grams. According to Pizza Hut, 100 grams of pepperoni Pizza is 190 calories. So my 2 slices were only 176 calories?? Would you believe that? For the record, one slice is supposed to…

Strength training while running
I've started a training program this week for a half marathon in November. It's running 5 days a week. I want to include some strength in training but don't have a huge amount of time. Is training 2x a week enough to keep what muscle mass I have? I was looking at total body dumbbell routines that's take 30-45 minutes. I…

Help training for half marathon
I am a regularish runner - I run +/-8km on the weekend, and around 4km most week days. I am doing a half marathon in November, and have 20 weeks to train properly. I did one years ago I didn't train for and always regretted it. My goal is to run the whole half (allowing for needing a toilet break and re-tieing shoes lol) I…

trust the process
I'm a casual user of MFP. use it for a month, then not use for months, then use for a month or so etc. I've picked it up again more and more in the last couple of months because I keep losing and gaining the same couple of kg. I'm only about 5ish kg off where I would like to be (have lost around 22) and its been such a…

Strength training before or after cardio
I know this has probably been asked 100 times before but... I've recently decided to change my focus from losing weight to building a bit of muscle while training for a half marathon. This means I'm doing a 5 day a week strength training programme with running. At the moment I'm running every work day at lunchtime - only…

18 months in. Still going. Sometimes slow and steady is best
I lost 20kg in just under a year. Jan to Nov 17. Since November I've lost about 4kg. So mostly a plateau on and off for the last 6 months. I've had a lot going in, had a car accident which caused a shoulder injury meaning I couldn't work out as much and my eating was up and down. But I never gained the weight. I'm now…

What is foam rolling and is it really that important?
I've started slowly increasing my running as I gear up to a half marathon in November. I did at the beginning of the year have a calf strain that I ensured I rested and have been problem free since. Currently I'm not experiencing any issues at all, I ensure I stretch after runs etc. I keep seeing posts about foam rolling,…

I have signed up for a half marathon in November, so am starting to do some proper training. for the next few weeks I'm going to do a 5-10k program (designed for those who can run 5k regularly to increase to 10k), then I am jumping into a 12 week half marathon training…

Thoughts on working out with an injury
Hey all. 9 weeks ago I was in a car accident and have been getting pain in my trapezious and shoulder since. It's fine at rest, and only hurts when Im at work, or do a lot of lifting above my head - imagine a radiographer so have to move a heavy machine around all day. I have been working out intermittently since the…
