Juicing
Anyone else here "juice"? How are you calculating the nutritional values, since you don't actually eat the fiber/pulp? Would you consider this any different, or just count the calories all the same? For me I'm just doing a recipe in the recipe builder, and using the calorie count I'm told. Thoughts?

Digital scale recs?
I'm in the market to purchase a decent digital food scale for controlling portion sizes. Does anyone out there have one that they love and can recommend before I purchase something on amazon?

ITB injury?
I started having left hip pain a few weeks before running my 1/2 marathon on 2/19. The pain continues to wax and wane, and at the end of my running class yesterday, someone suggested I have an ITB injury. Anyone else dealing with this? And if so, what is the best treatment? Pain is minimized with 400mg of ibuprofen, and it…

I have food demons...
And most days I've got great self control. Some would say we're lucky here at work, because we have catered lunches by drug reps EVERY DAY! I consider them demons. Most days, I'm able to stick with what I bring. Other days, I get envious of what others are mindlessly putting into their bodies. Especially when I have a…

donating blood and running?
For those of you that donate blood, how long does it take for you to feel recovered enough to do a long run? Do you feel it much? I'm considering donating again, probably a week after my 1/2 marathon on the 19th, and just wondered how you other runners feel while running, after donating blood?

Ugh... just shoot me
So MFP has rewarded my weight loss.... by further decreasing my daily calorie goal! Yes, this is very exciting, however, it just pisses me off today. Sure, I'll make up the deficit every day because of my running, and this is good for me, and it's keeping me honest. BUT... sigh.... dammit :ohwell: Just venting, getting it…

Kind of gross, but...
When you're running, and your nose starts to run, what is the proper way to deal with this? When I'm in the zone, I don't want to have to "stop" to take care of this and 5 miles in, it's just annoying... anyone know what I'm talking about?

for fun, just out of curiosity...

Eating your workout calories?
I've been doing this a while, and I see this a lot on the forums, but I have never really been able to clarify. What does this mean exactly? Does this mean that I should be eating my 1200 calories, plus whatever exercise calories I burn to net 1200? Any advice would be great!

Blisters after my first 1/2 marathon
I just completed my first 1/2 marathon on Sunday, and I feel great! But I have a few blisters on my feet, which I didn't expect. I am running with a shoe that is 1/2 - 1 size bigger to account for swelling, and I ran with my runner's socks. Even on my long runs during training, I never got anything close to blisters. Is…

P90X
Does anyone do P90X, and if so, what do you think about it? I'm wondering if it would be a good complement on my "cross training" days for my 1/2 marathon in November. Have great days everyone!

calories burned discrepencies?
Hi everyone, I've noticed that when I'm at the gym, the machine often times says I burned fewer calories than MFP. Which ones do I go by? For instance, this morning the machine says I burned 350 calories, but on MFP it says 560+. Which one do I go by, or should I invest in a polar? Thanks, Britt

Music recs?
I was wondering if anyone had any good music recommendations for longer workouts? I like indie, alternative, and almost anything. I'd prefer to stay away from top 40, but I've been listening to The Killers and Kings of Leon for the past 3 weeks, and am looking for something with a little more "oomph" but not too hard. Any…

Hello everyone
Hi everybody. I'm new to MFP, and wanted to see who else is on here. I'm a happily married working mom with two little people, and forgot to take care of myself over the past 5 years. I have 65 pounds to lose, and would like to run my first 1/2 marathon by November. I'm starting off from scratch, so any advice would be…
