Best Yoga videos (Vinyasa)
I am looking for a good Vinyasa yoga video. One that has a good flow, without interruptions about opening my heart and such, and really provides a good thorough workout. I completely respect yoga for what is is, but at this time really wanting to incorporate it back into my life in the most efficient way - gaining…

Barre...disappointment...trying...turning 40...ha
I have been going through some positive changes... one being a huge career change that I have been working my butt off (of course the hustle continues to move up, but...). I have been so wanting to get back to what I was 6 years ago and now, at almost 40 and the biggest I have ever been, trying out new things, feeling…

Need a kick in the *kitten* or some good ole "you can do it"
Hello! 3 years ago I lost a good amount of weight and inches and just entered graduate school at the age of 35. It was great and with the help of MFP. I graduated last summer, had a great experience overseas (I'm a health care practitioner now and volunteered) came back and transitioned from an old career and into post…

Anybody in Portland?
I am 5'11 and looking to lose 35 pounds. I am trying to find a jogging/running buddy. I know it would help. I am not very fast… about 12 minute miles. Let me know if anyone is in PDX and looking for support! Thanks

Looking for (slower) running/jogging buddy in Portland, OR
I know there are running groups out there, but none of them seem to work with my schedule or location/ I am 5'11 and have about 35 pounds to lose. Used to be more passionate about running, but fell out of it. I am probably at a 12mph pace at the moment. Let me know if anyone is interested! Live in NE pdx.

Anybody in Portland, OR?
Hi there, I just logged back in after many months off MFP. While I have been working out, those workouts have decreased dramatically and the scale sadly shows my gain. I was curious if anyone is interested in a jogging/workout buddy? I'm in grad school and very busy, but need to get back on track again and the running…

exercising with a UTI?
So I have a dreaded urinary tract infection that kept me up all night. Was able to get antibiotics this morning, and while I am exhausted from sleep deprivation, want to go to the gym, but also thinking I don't want to jossle the body around and let the medicine do its thing. Anybody have thoughts on this? Give it a day or…

struggling
So last weekend I ran my first 5K, a great milestone. Last week I found myself making it into the gym/running 3 times this week (out of usual 6 days). I also was craving sugar, over eating and just... well lost all motivation it seems. Don't want to get on the scale, just want to get myself together and make this week kick…

bee pollen
Curious to hear who takes it, how often and what form (granules vs capsules) and if you have noticed any benefits or side effects if at all? I am contemplating on purchasing some granules (refrigerated) from New Seasons here in town. Appreciate the comments.

just ran my first 5k!!
This morning I ran my first 5K in about 34 minutes... It was a ton of fun and a great accomplishment. I loved passing people when I was able to and being with others trying to better themselves and run for charity. I am excited to run the 8K Shamrock Run here in Portland next months and keep building from there! I thought…

Vitamins!
I would love to hear what people are taking for vitamins. I am especially interested in an energy boost. I honestly don't take vitamins daily consistently, but if I do it is a b12 I do, however take 1 or 2 emergency vitamin packs for the gym, it seems to give me a little kick. Definitely wanting to get something again soon…

running vs jogging
Hi, So I am running my first 5K here in Portland on Feb 12th. Very exciting. I have about 20 pounds I would ideally like to lose still, but very strong. I hit the gym 6X week, so spinning, cardio kickboxing, lift class (weights) and boot camp (my gym is fantastic, with a great instructor) and then I have been in a running…

Brazilian Butt Lift videos anyone?
Has anyone done these? I actually ordered them and even though I hit the gym 6 days a week and absolutely love my instructor there, and also running my first 5K next month, I am just feeling a bit of a plateau. I lift, spin, run, cardio kick box, bootcamp.... but maybe this might set me over. I have home DVD's...…

delicata squash
is it really as low in calories as MFP says? I have researched other sites as well... just seems to good to be true. something like 80 calories for half a squash?

calories burned... different readings
So, I went to my usual cardio kickboxing, then spinning classes last night. I have my Polar FT7 and noticed I burned more calories than usual... almost 100 more in the first class. I missed a couple workouts last week and definitely wasn't eating as clean as usual. Does this have something to do with it? Why for the same…

treadmill vs outside running (and pasted 12 week program to
I would love to hear advantages and disadvantages. I am starting up a running clinic (started yesterday), but had been jogging on the treadmill as a novice. Last weekend easily went 20 mins X 2 with a 2 min break in between. The clinic started us at run 1 minute, walk 3 which I found a little boring (but did miss the…

Well I logged yesterday
I just finished logging (the best I could!) for yesterday... it wasn't pretty! But I will say I had a great evening with friends and have no leftovers (bc I ate them when I got home late last night and added them too, ha!!! so double dinner AND dessert for me!). And now off to a 2 hour spinning class at my gym! Its nice to…

when you are sick....
I am annoyed. I have stayed home from school 3 days now... I pushed myself into the gym Monday night and barely made it through so decided to stay home yesterday and today. Was thinking maybe I could get out later for a small jog, but I just keep having waves of headaches and fatigue. I feel more guilty about staying home…

scale moved!
Ahhh, sweet little victories! Down 4 lbs since I started.... I bet it had something to do with me trying to eat more! It is like the scale moved all of the sudden. Thanks for the advice all! Of course I am about to start my TOM so a little concerned, but hey.... I am jazzed! Hard work and discipline does pay off!

can someone check out my diary... PLEASE!
Hi, I know I have posted a few times in the last week about exercise calories, target heart rate (fat burning zone, etc), but I am just annoyed. Not sure if its the PMS (sorry), but I have been at this some time now. Working really hard in the gym, especially the last 2 months, working out 2 hours a night (at least 3 days…

logging... so important
so last night and this morning I ate pretty bad. Yesterday I missed the gym (so I am only logging 5 days this week). I didn't want to log my calories for yesterday or today, but realized.... I HAVE TO. Yes, its scary... but that is what keeps me motivated. Yes, one 'binge meal' is fine, but not letting that turn into a…

target heart rate, frustrations and such....
So I am a pretty healthy 35 year old. I am very aware of my body (so I think). I am 5'11 and 200 pounds. I have been working with a trainer once a week for about 2 months now AND have also been attending her classes (spinning, cardio kickboxing, lift class AND a per (boot camp) class) totaling about 10 hours at the gym at…

help with calories in and out
Hi, I have been loving documenting my food and exercise, but really need some clarity. Today for example, it says my goal is 1370 calories. I ate 1773, but burned 1235 with exercise today and have a net of 538 and then also says 832 calories remaining. I understand I burned quite a bit exercising today which is why I can…
