Victory! (not on a scale)
So I joined MFP about a year ago, at the time I could barely walk 3 miles in one stretch (I believe the 5K I did around that time I clocked in at over an hour). This past weekend I walked/jogged my first 1/2 marathon EVER! I finished in 3:29:45 (and that included 10 mins of potty breaks). I am so proud of myself that I…

Dehydration
I am in my first trimester and have been puking a lot lately, and I know that is causing dehydration (also due to my body not liking the taste of water right now). What is the best way to get my body re-hydrated knowing I am going to throw up more in the day? Is a gaterade/water mix gonna be helpful? Is there something…

I am thinking the side salad (with no dressing and not eating any croutons) 180 calories Lowfat ranch dressing on the side at 110 calories per 2 oz (only shooting for using at most 1 oz) and getting the kids grilled chicken…

6 months later (pics included)
So this past January, my good friend got me to start working out with her. I went through a lot of pain, and in May I got a scale. I found out about MFP in the end of April and I started logging my food. It took awhile of seeing just what I was putting into my body to accept reality. I accepted my challenge head on. For…

Selling clothes on ebay
I want to start trying to sell my old too big clothes on ebay. I just have some quetsions. I will ask them here in case others want to do the same. Is there an ideal time to post an ad? How much shipping do you generally charge? Do you sell each item seperately or is it better to make a lot (like 3 or so items sold…

Calories from fat and exercise
Ok... so when I work out where does it burn the calories from? For example my workout today said I burned 770 calories, 25% from fat, so thats 192.5 calories from fat. Where does it get the rest of the calories from?

Work out schedule critique
I was wondering if anyone could provide some tips to improve my workout routine. I have about an hour a day to devote to my workouts and I am serious about getting the most of out of my workouts. Due to the nature of my plantar faciitis I am still not able to run for another 2-3 weeks (still adjusting to the arch…

Dog as a running partner
I am hoping to start the C25K soon and I am thinking that my dog will make the perfect running buddy. However I think I need to get him a different collar for running or do things a little differently for him. Right now for walks we use a Gentle leader harness to keep him from yanking but what does everyone use when they…

No refined sugar diet
So my dr recommend that I cut out all sugars from my diet. He told me calories dont matter, fat doesnt matter. I can eat as much meat (no matter fat content), all the veggies I want, all the fruit I want, eggs, and cheese. I am to cut out anything with refined sugar in it (no candy, cakes, pie, soda) and no potatos, very…
