Move Your Butt Challenge!
Hi, MFPers! I've created a new group this morning if you're up for a bit of a challenge this week (and possibly longer). Many folks already exercise every day, or at least several times a week. Then, there are folks like me who need a little extra push (or a healthy competition) to get their butt in gear! Please check out…

Need a Batch of New Friends
Hi, MFPers! I've been a member of MFP for a while, but am recently rejoining and "renewing my commitment" to myself. (I hate cliché phrases like that, don't you??) Anyway, I went through and deleted old MFP friends who, like myself, had not logged in for a really long time, and now I don't have very many. I would like to…

Not new, just back...
Help me, MFP! I joined MFP in November of 2011 and lost 35 pounds. Over Spring Break last year, I was involved in a motorcycle accident, for which I was hospitalized and required reconstructive surgery. During my recovery, I was not allowed to exercise (doctor's orders), and it became so easy to slip back into old habits.…

Why I love MFP
Because I can talk *kitten* about my coworkers and they'll never see it! I'm friends with them on Facebook, so that's out. How bout you? Why do you love MFP so much?

To eat... Or not to eat...?
Ok, for those of us who are just starting out (and maybe those who have lost 50-60+ pounds and can provide a voice of experience), do you eat back all your exercise calories? My food cal goal is 1280, and I do good to eat all of those, and the weight is coming off (don't look at my ticker - it's after Thanksgiving for…

Hundred Push-Ups
Anyone familiar with the 100 Pushups program? I'm considering starting it, but would like to know what my MFP family thinks... Does it work? Do you like it? Any opinions on the subject?

Can I get an "Atta girl!"?
Wow! I feel so great! My very first NSV happened today! I'm taking my time on C25K and spending 2 weeks on each week... Today was Day 2 of W1D2, and even though I've been skipping running intervals, or not running the entire interval, I ran EVERY interval today, and didn't walk AT ALL during any of the running intervals! I…

How would you log this?
I'm volunteering tonight at a Veterans Day banquet as a server. Basically, taking drink orders, delivering all the courses, clearing tables as needed, refilling drinks, etc. Basically, I'll be on my feet walking around (likely very briskly) for 1.5-2 hours, I'm guessing. I don't want to go out and buy a pedometer, nor do I…

Couch-to-5K
I just started the Couch-to-5K running program and my legs are killing me! Any suggestions on stretches to help alleviate some of this hurt? (I'd appreciate some that I can do while sitting here at my desk while I work!) The pain is only in my calves and shins. Thanks! P.S. Has anyone done Couch-to-5K? Any input on this…

Hey, I put some new shoes on...
I used to be one of THOSE people, buying shoes that were cute and were reasonably priced. Last night, I got fitted for a new pair of running shoes and I have been converted! I unexpectedly left with a pair of Nikes, but the sales guy looked at the wear on my current shoes, had me walk barefooted to see my stride, and had…
