Lost a lot of pounds, but then lost motivation.
I started my MFP journey several years ago with a group I worked with, and lost over 100 pounds. However, after leaving my job (and being home more now with family, etc.), I've found that I just don't have the motivation that I used to, and I've gained 50+ pounds back. I don't need advice on WHAT to do; I know exactly what…

Looking for new running songs. What's your favorite?
I'm looking for some more running songs for my playlist. Specifically, I'm looking for songs in the BPM range of 175 +/- 5 or 87 +/- 2. Probably my favorite on the list right now is The Postal Service - Such Great Heights (175 bpm). What's your favorite?

A year ago...
A year ago, I was 270 pounds and decided to start C25k, having never run before in my life. Today, I'm about 75 pounds lighter, and I ran my first 5k under a 7:00 min/mile pace (6:54 to be exact), and I feel awesome! Where do you want to be in a year?

What sucks about losing weight?
I have to run 5 miles to burn the calories that I used to burn in 5k! What else?

Proform 505 CST
I'm considering buying a treadmill, and this one is the closest thing I've found near my price range that has good reviews. I would much rather run outside, but there were a couple times this week when it was just too cold. I ended up going to the gym, but I'm thinking about canceling my membership because I go there so…

Extra Motivation!
I've gotten several new MFP friends over the past few days, and I'm starting to feel an extra surge of motivation that will hopefully get me moving again, as I've been on a plateau for a couple months now. Thanks! Hopefully I can be equally motivating to all of you!

Filling foods that are low calorie and not unhealthy
I'm looking for suggestions of foods that are somewhat filling and not "bad" for you. Currently, I'm on a carrot kick. I've done relatively well with weight loss over the past year, but I've plateaued for the last couple months, in part because I'm just hungry more, so I eat (and admittedly, I don't always log it all --…

I'm overweight!!!
I'm finally no longer "obese". I still want to lose a bit more, but it's a good feeling to finally cross that line.

Running Shoes
I'm relatively new to running. I completed Couch-to-5k about 3 weeks ago and I've been running 5k 3-4 times per week since. I decided to buy myself some new running shoes after reading about how much of a big difference that can make. The shoes I've been running in are about 4 years old, though when I started running a…

New Polar FT7 - Love it, but one downside
I bought a Polar FT7 on Sunday, and in general I love it. I used it when working out at home on Sunday, and it was great to be able to quantify what I did. I used it at the gym on Monday, and it works with my gym's equipment (LifeFitness systems). However, I had some unexpected results. Elliptical - on the elliptical…
