C25k & Charlie Horses
This is my 2nd time doing the C25k and I found that the first time (end of 2011) was a great way to get me running. And though I wasn't the fastest -- I was extremely happy to be able to run a 5k. As far as my weight -- its the same as it was when I started C25k back in 2011). This time I'm struggling with Charlie horses…

For all those on MFP who are sexually active
Ok. So I was telling a friend of mine who wanted to get in shape about MFP and she asked me if you track the sex since it is a good form of exercise. I couldn't tell her because i am single and not having any kind of relationship with someone else. So I ask you all. Do you track sex because it is calories burnt or not? If…

Snack Foods
I love carrots to snack on; however I get bored with the same foods too much and so I need to find some new ideas for foods that I can bring to work for snacks. I've brought carrots, almonds, walnuts, healthier crackers to munch on, and raisins/craisin.

Should I run if my knees pop/crack
My knees have been popping and making cracking noises for about 5 year now. I want to run but it hurts and didn't know if I was doing something wrong or if I am just being a wuss about it (to be completely honest). If I need to build up muscle in my knees or something first I want to do that. Help! Edited to add: My doc…

I'm looking…
