How do you create your deficit?
Do you eat at maintenance and let the breastfeeding calories be your deficit? Do you let MFP calculate a deficit for you and then add the negative calorie item to your day?

4-5 mile stroller friendly running trails in the East Metro?
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any running trails/paths in the East Metro (St. Paul, Woodbury, Oakdale area) that are jogging stroller friendly and in the 4-5 mile distance range? The lake near my house is only 3 miles around and I'd like to find other place to run a greater distance. Also, are there any online resources…

When you log body weight exercises
What weight do you put in the "weight per set" box? I'm doing body weight squats and have no idea if MFP accounts for my body weight already or if I need to add some percentage of my body weight. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks!

C25K done but race not for another month, what to do?
I finished my last week 8 workout last night and I'm running a practice 5k this weekend. Yay! It feels so good to have finished the program, but I have a question. I want to eventually move on to a 10k trainer but I don't really want to start it until after my race at the end of November. What should I do in the interim?…

What do you eat when you crave chocolate?
It seems like the one thing I cannot get away from is chocolate. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the sugar, but I very specifically crave chocolate. Is there something else I can eat that will at least curb my craving but won't use up all my calories?

Keeping pace or finishing interval?
I did w4d1 last night and found it difficult to finish the 2nd 5 minute run at the same pace I had been using for the other three runs. I'm running on a treadmill so I know exactly how fast I'm running and can't really slack on the pace unless I physically turn the speed down. My question is, do you think its more…

I ran my first 5k!
I did it! I finished the C25K program and I ran an entire 5k! I finished in 35:45 and I'm just so, so happy! I remember struggling though the 60 second interval jogs but I made it! Just know that if I can do this, you can do it to!

What's a good goal time for my first 5k?
I *think* I've been training at about a 12 min mile pace. Is it reasonable to think I could run a 5k in 36-38 minutes? I'm planning on signing up for a race that's scheduled for what should be my W9D3 workout. I'm so excited!

When did you start restricting/modifying exercise?
Did your doctor give you a recommendation? Did you "feel like" you were doing too much so you stopped or scaled back? I'll talk to my doctor once the opportunity presents itself, but I'm looking for your experience with exercising while pregnant.

Double Jogging Stroller
Which one do you have? Do you like it? Will an infant seat snap in? I'm looking for recomendations. Thanks!

Transitioning between W3 and W4?
Did anyone else find the jump from week 3 to week 4 a little abrupt? Week 2 and week 3 workout all have a combined total of 9 minutes of running. The week 4 workouts have 16 minutes of running. Did anyone adjust the first workout in week 4 to be a little less demanding?

C25K and Early Pregnancy
I'm just starting week 3 of the C25K and while I'm not pregnant yet, I'm hoping to be soon. Does anyone know about or have experience with the C25K program and pregnancy? I've always heard that you can continue your pre-pregnancy level of activity into pregnancy, but I'm not sure if that applies here since the C25K is…

5k that is stroller friendly?
Does anyone know of a 5k is September or October that's agreeable to stollers in the race? I'd love to have something to work toward with the C25K program, but I don't have much time without baby to run. Any ideas?

Place to walk indoors with a stroller?
I've heard that the colesium at the fairgrounds and the metrodome host indoor walking times in the winter, but is there anywhere that does this in the summer? If would be nice to have an alternate plan for super hot days like we've been having. I'm not comfortable putting my son in the childcare at a gym just yet. Maybe…

Calories burned while waitressing?
Does anyone know how I could calculate the number of calories burned while I'm waitressing? I'm not walking 100% of the time I'm at work, so I'm not sure how to input it into MFP. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!
