BostonStrong10K, Charity Miles & Lifeway

Each time I do a day or go for a walk, I open my Charity Miles so money will also be donated to an organization of my choice. The app is free and if you walk/run, $.25/mile goes to the charity you choose for that time. Since the…

NSV: Halfway through the C25K
The past 4.5 weeks I have been doing the C25K. Yesterday I completed W4D2! This a huge success for me because I can never stick to anything. I have tried starting the C25K multiple times in the past within the past year and couldn't even make it through W1D1. And here I am ready to finish Week 4 tomorrow. I never thought I…

Nervous about W3D1
After work today I'm suppose to run W3D1. I'm nervous though because it jumps up to a 3 minute jog. Maybe I shouldn't have peeked last week to see what I had ahead of me, but I question if I can actually jog 3 minutes. I considered redoing week 2 to see if I would feel more confident, but my boyfriend is telling me to try…

Week 1 Day 1 ACCOMPLISHED
Less then a month ago, my boyfriend and I signed up for a 5K on June 8th called "Neon Run." This week we decided to start the C25K to start training for this 5K.

Juicing
Lately my boyfriend and I have been looking into juicing. We don't want to go on any juice fast yet, but thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to have half a glass/full glass a day. Yesterday we bought a really nice used juicer for $20 off craigslist. What are your favorite recipes that taste delicious? Does anyone have…

After graduating college in May 2012, I started working part time at my father's office to learn the business. As a graduation gift, I got a 2 year membership to a gym. In September, I got a full time position that had me working 7 days a week. Then in October, it started to be 5 days a week. I haven't been to the gym in a…

NSV: 30 Days!
Today I logged in and saw "KrazyAsianNic has logged in for 30 days in a row!" This is definitely not a lot compared to my friends, but this is actually a huge deal for me. I'm not new to MFP and have reached the 30 day mark before. However, this time it is different. I restarted my journey for the last time on October 14,…

Recording exercise calories burned
I was just curious if there are any successful MFPers out there who have lost weight using MFP's exercise calories burned. i know MFP can be way off calories burned, but I don't have the money to invest in an HRM. I have downloaded an app that calculates smaller numbers than MFP for the same thing, but it gets time…

Recording Food = Stressful. Help?
I have been trying to lose weight for years now. I originally joined MFP years ago because I found recording really helped me, but as my life got crazier and I had less control over my food, I stopped recording. I told myself it would be easier to record once I have my own place and can stock my own fridge and cook my own…

Couldn't make it through W1D1 C23K.
On Monday I attempted W1D1 of the C25K, but I barely made it past a quarter of the thing. I was really excited to do this and I wish I could keep doing it. However, I had to stop because I felt like I couldn't catch my breath and my stomach was cramping up. I don't know if it's because I was doing squats and crunches…
