Pain Behind Knee While Running
Question for all the runners out there: I'm not exactly a newbie to running, but I'm not a runaholic either. Since highschool, it's been fairly typical for me to run about 3 miles 3x a week, depending on the season and time of life. I have not been running more than this at any point recently. However, a few weeks ago,…

Race NSVs
So...I finished my first Spartan race a little while ago. Today I hung up the medal and got my pictures. But when I saw the results, I almost cried. I cannot believe the progress from that old, horrible starting point... It is so humbling to look back and see how I've come from a sedentary, 200+ teen, to a (dare I say it?)…

40/20/40 eating
So I just started the Insanity program yesterday, and am trying to eat as closely to the included diet plan as possible. This means 40% carbs, 20% fat, and 40% protein. However, to do this MFP says I need to eat 200 grams of protein a day. I like protein! Meat, eggs, milk, nuts (beef jerky. ;) ), but I am barely making 100…

NSV: Re-calibrating. :)
So, some of you may understand the terrible feeling of despair when not losing more weight. That has been me for the last two months. I have about ten more pounds to lose till goal, and it has not been happening for the last six MONTHS! :P Cue the pity parties and cycle of giving up and then killing myself at the gym…

Quick Calorie "Padding"
So throughout the day, whenever I eat something I can't find in the database, or I have to take an equivalent from the database, I add 50-100 calories to my diary, just to make sure I'm not overeating. I'm eating about 1900 calories a day, so it's not like I'll starve doing this. I just wondered if anyone else does this.…

Insanity calorie intake
So, I did the calculations, and came up with needing to eat 2270 calories a day to lose weight during Insanity... Assuming that I'm eating healthy food (which tends to be less calorie dense), how can I eat that much without feeling stuffed? And how can I lose when I'm eating more than some men eat? :P

Healthy Carbs?
So, here's the deal...I don't like carbs or the starchy feel they have. I love protein, eating lots and lots of meat, dairy, and veggies. I do like fruit, but I can't eat too much before going waaaay over my sugar allotment. The problem is I play some really active sports, and a lot of times, when I'm way under my carb…

How do ya'll w/ muscular thighs pull off wearing jeans? I'm more than half-way to my goal, and have very little flab left, so I'm afraid I won't get much smaller...but jeans still make me look so chunky. :(

Weight Lifting and Appetite
So I've started weight lifting, and been doing it for about a month, consistently, now. The one problem is, that after every session I am STARVING. Last night, I ended up eating three pieces of pizza, a whole bunch of lunchmeat and some cookies. :( Needless to say, that does NOT fit into my caloric intake! So...what's up?…

pigeon toed
so...I've just recently started running. And someone told me I run "pigeon-toed". What exactly does this mean? Why do I run this way? And how can I stop? Or...should I stop? Rather confused...

I said no. I said yes.
Six months ago, my morning breakfast regularly consisted of either ice cream or a shake made out of said ice cream. Well, this morning, I woke up to a half gallon of Denali Moose Tracks sitting there in the freezer whispering my name to me. I opened the freezer door twice, and shut it twice. Then I opened it for the third…
