what is your favorite running music?
I'm always looking for good music to motivate me during running (not my favorite exercise). Good, thumping music keeps me moving and makes the time go by. Care to share your favorites?

Thank goodness for NSVs
I am guilty of being a person who weighs themselves every day. I am fully aware of fluctuations and I actulaly don't get too down about that. Weighing myself every day has allowed me to figure out things about how my body works - how much water gain I can expect with TOM, what kind of retention I have after strength…

NSV - shopping
Do NOT adjust your television - yes, that was me....shopping for pleasure! For Clothes! For myself! I ended up going to an outlet mall on my way home today because I really need some new jeans, since my smallest size jeans are getting too big. I went to dress barn, to the womens section, and picked out some 18s. Last time…

Heart Rate...too high?
So, I have a heart rate monitor, and I use it not only to count calories burned but also to see how I'm doing keeping my heart rate at a good level. When I a class like step, or hop on an elliptical or something like that, I try to keep my heart rate between 144 and 150. When it goes higher than the low 150s, I ease back a…

NSVs keep me going
Well, I haven't seemed to drop any more inches anywhere that I actually measure, and the weight has not been dropping of as quickly in the past, so I have to hold onto those NSVs where I can. Yesterday I realized that I don't have any clothes that feel tight anymore - I can't say that there is anything in my closet now…

Where does the weight go and why?
I'm interested in whether people in general lose weight in the same way as me and if not, how it happens for them. For me, it seems that any shrinkage starts at the outside extremities and works its way back to the torso. So, for me, where I have lost the most "volume" so far is in my arms, legs, face and somewhat in my…

C25K question
I never started my fitness regimen with a running goal in mind, in fact, I didn't have running in mind at all. But, now that I have been working out and losing weight since September, I am now able to run 1.5 miles. I looked at the C25K program, but don't know if I should start at the beginning or if I should find a place…

First set of 10 week results!
So, I just completed the "Smallest Winner" program at my local Y. A 10 week program that included 2 training sessions a week, some group challenges and some nutrition counseling. Well, today was my final day, and we got our results, and I just had to shout them out, because I want to be proud of them, but also build on…

Little NSVs add up
After being with MFP for about 60+ days and 17lbs gone (with a lot more to go), I'm happy to say that although I don't currently have any before/after photos to share at this time, I have had some NSVs that are carrying me through the weeks where my weight loss is not as quick, or I'm struggling with motivation: Fitness…

New to MFP - but life long weight struggler!
Hi all... am on day 11 of using MFP and I'm loving it! It is really helping me keep track of what I'm eating, not only calorie wise but the nutritional balance of it all! I'm a 40yo mom with a 4 year old daughter and a great husband. I have struggled with my weight since I was very young. I have now been above 200lbs for…
