Strava vs Map My Run
I'm just getting back into running and there are so many more apps than there used to be. Which do you like better - Strava or Map My Run?
-
Run or lift?
I would like to get your feedback. I'm the type of person who needs a challenge as opposed to just exercising. I'm debating between training for a half marathon or completing a lifting program. Thoughts?

Looking for support
Good morning. My name is Kelly and I have been a vegetarian for about a year. Recently have I been flirting with veganism; however, I am finding it incredibly hard to maintain on the weekends - brunch, dinner parties, etc. Cheese and eggs seem to sneak into everything. Any seasoned vegans out there who could provide me…

Looking for a HR monitor THAT DOESN'T SLIP!!
Good morning, I have had a Polar FT4 for a few years now, and it has always been fine for walking/running. However, I have started taking spin classes, and the band keeps loosing contact with my skin when I lean over the bike. Any suggestions for a more stable HR monitor? Thanks!

Need to recommit, remotivate
A bit about me - I have been an MFP member on and off since 2009. However, it has only been in the last two years that I have been a regular user. I got within five pounds of my goal weight and then got complacent. Logging less, exercising less . . . just can't seem to get my groove back and now the pounds are starting to…

Anyone using Grokker?
I just stumbled upon this site, and it looks like they have a lot free yoga videos (as well as other videos). I don't want to pay for Yogaglow because my preferred practice is at the studio. However, it would be nice to have some options for days I can't get to the studio. Has anyone used this site?

Has anyone tried Get Waisted?
I saw an ad for getwaisted.com in a magazine and took a look at their site. All sounds like good stuff, but the $44/month membership fee seems high. Has anyone tried it?

I'm recommitting, starting right . . . NOW!
I have been doing MFP for a few years now, generally with very good luck. However, I always get where I am right now - a few pounds away from goal, my clothes fit well, and I start slacking. I tell myself, "I don't need to log every day . . . and sure I can have a few fries (which of course turns into whole plate) . I then…

Bench Press question
Good morning ladies! I have been doing SL 5X5 for approximately a month and am seeing great results. I have steadily increased the weight on all exercises except for my bench press. I am still benching the bar!! Every time I even add the slightest bit of extra weight, I can make it pass a few reps. Any suggestions? Or just…

Literal pain in the neck . . .
I've noticed that when I weight lift (SL or prior, with NROL), the first place I feel it is in the base of my neck. Any ideas how to correct this? Thanks, Kelly

Advice for a newbie?
I just did my first SL session today, and it felt too easy. Mainly because I was done in 15 minutes! How long are you supposed to break between reps? I started with 45lbs (the bar) for all the A workouts. That felt too easy for the squats, a little hard by the 4th set for the bench presses and about right for the barbell…

Newbie
Hello all! I am about to pick up the phone and join, so I was delighted to see there was a MFP group for support! I have been battling the same 15lbs on my own for the last few years, and now its time to bring in the big guns. :-) Please feel free to friend me - I can use all of the support I can get.:smile:

HR Monitor
Good morning all, I am looking to purchase a good heart rate monitor. Are they are any models that sync with MFP? Also, I'm looking for something I can wear throughout the day, not just during workouts, to get a better idea of what my daily caloric burn is. Suggestions are appreciated!
-
Time to recommit!
I had great success with MFP and got SO close to my goal before our vacation. Now a month has passed and I have put back on 8lbs. Time to get back on the program and am looking for some motivation. Please friend me if you are also looking for some extra support this month!

Medicine ball routine
Hi - We recently added some medicine balls to our home gym, but I am not quite sure how to incorporate them into my workouts. Does anyone have any suggestions for a medicine ball workout? Thanks! Kelly

Heart Rate
Mark Sisson preaches keep HR fairly low while doing long bouts of movements. I have found that I really need to slow down to keep in this "fat burn" range (to the point I get kind of bored). Thoughts from the group?

Does anyone want to start with me next week??
As I mentioned in a previous post, I got half way through the NROL4W last year, but got bored and couldn't stick with it. However, I did like the results I was getting and have vowed to start from scratch next week. Would anyone like to do this with me??? Having someone at the same stage to remain accountable to sure would…

IF?
Has anyone out there had success with intermitten fasting (IF)? All of my life I have heard the importance of eating regular meals, so now I am on the fence about this. Thanks! Kelly

Milk v. Coconut milk
I have given up diary on several occasions just to see if I noticed a difference in my health, and I don't. Currently, I use coconut milk (SO Delicious, unsweetened) instead of milk, but I am debating the benefits of keeping this up. The rest of my family uses organic whole milk, and its easier just to buy one gallon of…

Primal on 1500 calories a day?
When I first started primal, I focused on just eating healthy foods and avoiding poisonous things. I lost a few pounds but then hit a plateau. I realized after I started tracking my calories on this site, my calorie count was too high. So now I have the challenge of trying to stay within my 1500 calorie range while still…

What's on your grocery list?
I love MFP because I can see what everyone is eating. What are some staples on your grocery list? For me, its organic salad vegetables, chicken, fish, beef, eggs . . . but I would love to expand my menu a little.

I LOVE DIET COKE!!!
There, I said it. I am 100% on board with the primal lifestyle, but I just can't seem to give up the diet coke. That said, since going primal, I have cut it down dramatically - I used to drink several a day, and now I just have one at lunch. If this is my only SAD indulgence, how bad is it? Thoughts? Anyone else in the…
