Coconut Oil
I was wondering what you all thought about Coconut Oil - yea or nay? The jury seems to be out, but I hear such good things about it, and I have started incorporating some into my morning coffee, as well as using it more for cooking. Here's my question, though. If you are pro CO, how much do you use? I read that I should…

W3D2 bad run
I did a semi-hungover, unmotivated W3D2 run today in the 17 degree + wind chill weather. By the last 3 minute run, I am quite sure my legs weighed 200 pounds each... I had to take a week off due to knee injury after week 2, and then did W3D1 on Thursday. I was very surprised that I felt really good during that run - as if…

3 days a week question
I know the program tells us to run just 3 days a week, and I understand that it is optimal to only go every-other day in order to let our muscles rest. What would happen if we ran 2 days back-to-back occasionally? I ask because if I go every-other day (I am just on W1D3 tomorrow) then I won't finish until Dec. 22. There is…

First run!!
I just completed my very first session and I'm still breathing! I have done a lot of reading on this forum and want to thank all of you. As I was running and wanted to give in, I kept thinking of all the posts I read and how so many of you also struggled but promised the rest of us slackers that it was do-able. You were…

Where to get shoes?
I am only on W1D2, but I am already psyched about this. I know I will need some new running shoes, but I'm not sure where to go. You have talked about getting shoes fitted, but are there certain stores you would recommend? I know many are locational, but I wondered if there were large stores where they know what they're…

When to eat breakfast?
I keep hearing different points of view on this, so I wanted to hear what you all thought. I exercise in the morning (a brisk 20-25 min. walk and then about 10-15 minutes of strength work or exercise ball or something.) Question: Eat before or after my workout? I hear both. I'm not really hungry when I first get up, but if…

Runtastic vs. Omron
I have a course I walk every morning - about 1.4 miles. I have the Runtastic app downloaded to my phone and I set it every morning when I do my walk - The number of steps is always about the same, between 2900-3000. I just purchased an Omron pedometer, so this morning I put it in the other pocket when I went for my walk.…

How to change something in profile
So I started MFP over a year ago, and the original "starting" weight I had put down seems to be wrong when I see how much weight my profile and ticker say I've lost. It says I've lost 23 pounds, when actually I've lost 17.8. I have searched all over MFP on the internet as well as on my phone, and I can't find where to…

Giving it a go
I am just starting on MFP. I have done it off and on for awhile, but am ready to go for it. I lost 25 pounds last year and kept it off for almost a year. Quit smoking in March (yea!) and managed to gain about 12 back - but I was okay with it, because quitting was worth it. Now I'm feeling so good about myself that I'm…
