Looking for inspiration for Olympic Triathlon 2013
I've completed four sprints and many 5K's and it's time for an Olympic Distance in 2013. I'm looking for others that want to do an olympic distance or those with experience in training/racing this distance. Send me friend requests...I've got a few friends that do them, but not many to gab with and share tall tales of…

Irony of adding MFP friends with 500+ "friends"
I thought this was supposed to be a motivational site where you make genuine or semi-genuine connections with folks you feel would have the time and energy to motivate you. And, in turn, you motivate them. I have an issue with some MFP'ers having 500+ contacts yet claim they will "motivate me." How on earth are people…

" You are eating too few calories" message
How many people are getting this message from MFP when they are done logging their food for the day? For the first time in about 6 months I finally feel like I'm losing some weight again, and I keep getting this message...it's not like I'm starving myself or anything. Most days I feel great with my "eating." So, ignore the…

What does your "day off" look like
Just wondering if a day off from exercise is a lazy couch potato day for people or if they just cross train. My days off are yoga days or hiking days. Just curious...

How do you track "Office Exercises" in MFP?
Just wondering how others track their "office" exercises such as situps, pushups, leg lifts, side planks, squats etc. I've been tracking them as calisthenics, but I'm not sure that is accurate. thanks!

FRS Healthy Energy--anyone use this?
This weekend after the Sprint Tri there was a tent with FRS giving away free samples. I took a powder and a mango drink in a bottle. I was impressed with the taste.

Omni-Freeze Gear
Anyone else tried the Omni-Freeze Gear yet? I've got a Columbia Omni-heat jacket, but the Omni Freeze is soooooo good in this heat. The little Columbia truck pulled up in front of our building (Backpacker Magazine is upstairs) and was "giving away free ice cream." I went outside to see what the deal was and they put a…

? For Runners--injuries in one area affecting another
I have been struggling with some foot pain from running. Long story short, I'm not exactly sure what's wrong with it, but the swelling is going down and it's getting better. For some reason as I re-introduce running other leg muscles are being affected by my foot issue. Is this common? Is it that I could be…

Peroneal Tendon injury
Hey runners (bikers, swimmers, etc), I've been noticing that the outside of my ankle has been bothering me and when I looked it up online it seems to be where the peroneal tendon is on the outside of my ankle. Is this a common running injury because I've only noticed it since I've been trying to increase my speed over the…

Sprint Triathlon to Olympic: Is it a BIG jump?
I know I'm ready for the next challenge in triathlon when I can work a full day and do the tri sprint distances just in my daily training. Who has made the jump from Sprint to Olympic recently and what did it feel like? Is it a pretty big jump? An hour more per race?? Thanks for any tips you can offer, especially in…

Looking for Boulder Colorado Master Swim Program(s)
I'm moving up in the world, literally. I'm moving from Longmont, Co to Nederland--to the mountains. While this is exciting to me, I am losing my pool access at the Longmont Rec. Center that also has a master's swim program. I work in Boulder, so I could attend a program here...any suggestions fellow Triathletes and…

The less I exercise, the more I eat
Does anyone else find that when they don't exercise during the day (exercise other than walking) that they are hungrier? I'm in this cycle of hard core exercise one day (80+ minutes) and rest the next...I almost never eat all the calories from my day of exercise, but the next day (rest day) I'm ravenous! MFP doesn't…

How to eyeball portion size?
Can someone give me the eyeball version of 6 oz of chicken? Is it approximately the size of a computer mouse? Then, when you measure meat or other things you eat do you calculate pre-cooking or after it's cooked? Thanks ya'll!

Triathlete looking to shed pounds and track food
I'm new to myfitnesspal and I'm looking for others that are athletes and just looking to shed some extra weight and track their eating/exercise habits. I've learned a whole lot in less than a week! I would exercise and exercise and not shed weight and I couldn't figure out why it was getting worse with time. By looking at…
