Anyone else NOT feel good after exercise?
I'm continually hearing about this elusive 'high' or just general great post workout feeling that I have NEVER experienced. What gives? Am I the only one? I am usually tired/ sore or even a bit dazed after a work out and if I work out early it tends to make me tired and a bit weak all day too. Anyone else?

Friends please :)
I'm back after a long break, I need new friends. Thanks :)

Anyone studying online? Share your experience?
Hi, This is not just about studying, the stress has led me to eat terribly and gain back my losses. :( I am nearly finished this semester - I only have 16 days left (thank god) but they will be tough ones because all my assessments are due. Anywho. I have found studying online to be really bizarre. No classes, no…

Slim Pasta. HELP!
Oh man, it's so gross. Taste is ok - well actually it's pretty nice - taste wise. But the texture is KILLING ME. I have 2 more packs to eat (I don't waste food) and tonight I bought a few flavours of stir through pasta sauce, and one butter chicken sauce. I'm hoping it will help (I should mention I don't cook) - my last 2…

Has anyone switched to shopping for food online?
Most of my problems stem from my not being able to resist temptation at the grocery store. But I love shopping at the grocery store so I haven't made this switch. Anyone tried this? Did it help you to not be tempted to buy chips/ lollies/ chocolates etc?

Fitbit question?
I am a brand new fitbit user. Can I program the fitbit to recognise other workouts? Say, my arm routine? I don't care about the calories burnt but I would love the fitbit to remind me and count my reps. Is this possible?

Tips for eating low cal in Las Vegas with no fridge?
Hi, I've been to Vegas 4 times and never ate healthy or low cal - I was always too busy trying out all the restaurants. This time I think I am over that, we are staying at the Flamingo and our room doesn't have a fridge (although I am taking a kettle) we will have a car so I can drive to the grocery and buy fruit - but my…

Amazing low cal foods list - add yours.
I like to eat and not starve and when trying to lose weight that means low calorie options. Since joining MCP and counting cals for the first time in my life I have compiled a list of 'go to' low cal foods. Here is my list *yes I want your ideas too please* 1. Low cal jelly - .......I think this is 30 cals per 500mls?, I…

Anyone hear of a training corset?
I am on another website and a lady who had a baby began to use a training corset to help get her figure back. Her before and after pics are unbelievable! She had actually gained weight in the after shot but you wouldnt know it. It has really piqued my curiosity - anyone ever heard of this or better yet tried this…

Do you go to bed hungry?
I do (on a good day) but this is because I am used to eating at night. After dinner. After nearly a year of dieting I am guessing this is always going to be the case... I still get hungry after dinner...

Any Americans familiar with Michaels Craft Stores?
Hi! I was in America earlier this year (April) and while at Santa Monica I looked through a Michaels Craft store. I found some really beautiful journals that I wanted to buy but we were already over our weight limits, I figured I would just look online at the Michaels website and order once I was home but they don't have…

Anyone have/ had a wrist ganglion?
I have just developed one. It's on the back of my wrist and it hurts a little to do push ups. I'm thinking about going to the doctor sometime next week - I think I might ask him to drain it but I'd really prefer to leave it and hope it goes away. If you've had one - what did you do? I hope someone out there has had one...

I think I have excessive guilt?
Last night I attended a bookclub meeting, it was my first time there. I did not have a good time! I felt a bit lost in the crowd and had trouble getting a word in, then when I finally managed it I felt that my opinion wasn't respected. So yeah, not fun. So now I want to quit, I would have already done so if I didn't feel…

Stupid healthy schools!
Oh man, I went to Cleveland high school in Brisbane. I have missed the tuckshop chocolate chip cookies they used to have *drools* now I finally have a friend with a son who attends and I asked him to get me some... But they don't sell them anymore. I am so sad. This is my sad face :cry:

Can I trust the stats?
I just got back from my second outside run. I did 2 missions - my 2nd mission went for 37 mins and clocked me at 9kms per hour - a total of 4kms. Doesn't seem right - especially since I did lots of walking as well as running? Can anyone tell me if this is accurate? Or if you have doubts too.

What would you do?
Hey, I went out with friends for dinner the other night. I don't drink soda or alcohol like everyone else in our group and lucky for me the restaurant served milkshakes. :) So I ordered one. When our drinks came out the guy across from me said "omg, look at that guy outside'' so I looked and saw nothing only to turn back…

Anyone done a technology 'fast'?
I'm thinking about giving up TV, iphone and laptop for 24 hours. Anyone done this - or tried this? It will be very, very hard for me, I doubt I go longer than an hour without looking at one of these devices, even when I'm napping if my iphone beeps I check the message. If people are interested in this I might make a group…

C25K HELP!
Hi, I need help. I am currently on week 6 - Day 3. It is the 22min run. I did 10 mins @7.2kms (I am treadmilling it) I was knackered! I HAD to stop. :( I think I may have lost some conditioning due to an illness that kept me off the treadmill for 1 week. Only 1 week! Is this normal? I am more worried about my speed,…

Toughest day of C25K?
Ok, today is WEEK 5... DAY 2 for me. I am dreading it - jog for 8 mins? That's my longest time ever...

Have you done this day…

Exercise after breast enhancement?
What are the realities? Note - I am only *thinking* about getting mine done, they have disappeared over the last few years. :sad: May never do it... but anyway, this is one major concern. Can people 'tell' something's wrong when you lift weights? Does it hurt more to run? Are there any exercises that would become off…

Anyone tried meditation? (Not weightloss related)
I once saw a show that was helping people to be 'younger' and one of the participants dealt with a lot of stress in his daily life as a firefighter. They organised for him to have a few sessions of meditation - and he loved it. I have never tried it - but I'm thinking about it. Have you ever tried it? Did you like it?…

Resistance training for running?
HI, I'm currently doing the c25k - with the short term goal of using Zombies Run! I was just checking out some sites that talk about the importance of resistance training for injury prevention in runners. What types of exercises are they talking about? Will I need special equipment or to use the machines at the gym for…

Stitches :(
Hi, I tend to get severe side stitches when I exercise after eating. I am really having trouble coordinating my workout schedule :( I only exercise 2x per day but I always seem to get the urge right after eating, I once had a friend who told me that you can just 'work through' a stitch - and I have tried but it is so sharp…

Anyone here ever trained with Richard Simmons?
My husband and I did earlier this year. OMG lol. Laugh? we nearly died. He is so funny. FYI, he runs classes several times a week near Hollywood CA. (We went to his studio the day the plane landed) I'll try to post a pic... It doesn't want to show itself??? Not sure what's wrong :indifferent:
