Don't Run......
I went to go see the sleep specialist about my sleep test results. The first person to see me is a medical assistant (What ever that is). He tells me that should not run and the only people that should run are the ones that don't need to. What kind of bull crap is that. I told him I enjoy running and I run 5k races a…

Difference in Protein Shakes
Is there really a huge difference in protein shakes? What I mean is can I use the $15.00 tub from Walmart or do I really need to spend $60 on a tub from a specialty store?

Running and Cramps
I have been running for about a year now. I run 5k 3 days a week. I usually get a cramp in my right upper ab area after about 10 min of running and it lasts for about 10 min. Sometimes it hurts so bad I want to quit running, most of the time it is just very uncomfortable. Why do I get these and is there something I can do…

Looking for a good Horror Movie
I am looking for some suggestions for a good horror movie. I am not really into the blood and guts kind I like the ones that make you think and scare you not gross you out. One of my favorites is the 1980 version of The Shinning with Jack Nicholson. Any others that I should check out?

Good thing I ate good at breakfast and supper. Tomorrow is weigh in day, I doubt it did any damage but we will have to see...

To all the Marathon runners out there
I just started training for my first 5k Marathon at the end of Oct. My one question is about how to eat the day of the race. The race starts at 9:30 am. Do I do a good carb day the day before and have a protein shake for breakfast that day? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My last post on this site.
I think I am done posting on the boards. Tired of every ones I know it all attitudes and putting down other peoples comments. This place is quickly becoming unimpressive other than the food logs. I thought this site was supposed to be for support, not flaming others. If you disagree with someones point of view then you…

Eating Back You Calories
I know I am supposed to eat back at least some of my calories but there are days where I just can not eat 2300 calories.

It's So Hard.
It's so hard to get over the plateau not only physically but mentally too. After about 6-7 weeks of not losing weight or inches I started to get a little frustrated and wanted to give up. I pushed through it and finally started losing again. So my advice to anyone that is stuck: 1) Change up your calorie count ( I changed…

I checked their website and still nothing. So now I have Emailed their head office. Can't wait to hear back from them. Anyone else have this…

BMI Calculator Wrong??
I used the BMI calculator from MFP and it tells me my estimated BMR is: 2,260 calories/day. Now when I do the calculations on my own with the same formula it tells me 3,300 calories/day. My question is why such a difference? And what should it be? I am 42, 6'3, and 281 lbs

Now when I weighed myself at home the scale says I have lost almost 30lbs. A little about myself Starting weight Home - 310 lbs Current…

Ketchup Substitute
I am on a low carb plan right now. All my carbs come from green veggies. What I am looking for is a ketchup substitute that has no sugar and low in carbs for my eggs in the morning. I love eggs but need to add a little something to it to shake the taste up before I get sick of them. Thanks Chris

I strength train on Mon, Wed, Fri, and cardio on Tues and Thurs. I take Sat Sun off. If I should do the shakes on my cardio days do I do the same as a…
