Marathon with Strength Training
I started my fitness journey as a (slow) runner, eventually working up to a half marathon. I've since transitioned to doing Spartan races, training calisthenics at the gym twice a week, heavy lifting at the gym once a week, and a mixture of hiking and running (4-7 miles) on the other days. I'd like to start a new challenge…

Accountability Buddy
Hi! I work out 5-6 days a week and have great consistency at the gym. Unfortunately, I like food too much and ruin my hard work with my eating habits. I am hoping to find someone to keep me accountable, who is also into fitness and lifting heavy or calisthenics and struggles to eat right to match.

Chocolate
I have been trying to eat Paleo for the last 2 months or so, and there's one thing i still don't get. How is dark chocolate okay (and to some people considered healthy)? I'm not saying that people need to avoid anything that isn't perfectly healthy or Paleo-aligned. I also understand that milk chocolate usually has lots of…

Now What?
The last few weeks I have been doing the Paleo diet. This has been slowly transforming my relationship with food, and I stopped binge eating because no one wants to binge eat chicken or fruit. Last night, I started eating all my emotions. I ate almost half a jar of almond butter, fried 3 eggs, half a package of macadamia…

Whole30/Paleo
Hi! I'm on day 20 of the Whole 30 and would love to have some mfp friends with open diaries who are either Paleo or following the Whole 30 plan.

Caffeine?
So I've heard that coffee isn't bad for you, but every time I drink caffeine in the last few months I start breaking out like crazy. Once I stop drinking it, my face clears up. Does anyone else have this reaction to caffeine, or is it just me?

Playlist ideas?
Does anyone have any new songs that they love to run to? My playlist is getting old, and when my music gets old so does running. :(

Macros?
Could someone please explain to me what macros are. When people say they need to eat all of their macros, does it mean that they are getting the right mix of protein, carbs, and fat?

Getting back on track!!!
Ever since I returned home from school, I've had a really hard time staying on a diet. I always wake up wanting to be healthy, then fail sometime throughout the day. Also, I'm a runner, but a few days ago I hurt my knee. I'm not really sure what happened, but it hurts badly every time I walk. I stopped running for a bit to…

I'm so discouraged :(
I'm not overweight. I'm actually pretty happy with my weight lately. I'm up to the point where I can run 10 miles pretty comfortably. I feel fit. Then, I look at other girls on my college campus. They work out half the amount of time that I do and eat junk all day. But they look so much thinner and even more toned than me.…

Help?
So sometimes I have a great week or so of eating healthy and the right amount of calories and exercising. Then, out of the middle of nowhere, I have a day where I get enough sleep but still feel exhausted, my thinking is foggy, and I am super cranky. It feels like I have low sugar, but if I eat a lot of healthy food, I…

Motivation?

Abs?
Does anyone know of any ab workouts that really work?? Right now, I only do planks. I have seen some improvement from that alone, but I'd really like to find other exercises to do with that. I also don't want to do videos.
