Exercise & breathing
Beyond frustrated here - during the summer and fall months I was running 5Ks, with an occasional 5 miler thrown in there, but the dry climate in Nevada combined with the winter has me feeling defeated; recently it's been a half mile to a mile and I am fully out of breath, to the point where I have to stop. Depending on how…

Any Crossfit guys/gals?
So, I'm looking to change up my routine. Currently I'm doing 4X Strength Training and 2X Cardio a week. Typically I lift for 45 minutes-1 hour, and Cardio is a half hour run or so. My gym has a great looking Crossfit area, which I use for some of my strength stuff. I'm thinking about throwing some more effort into the…

Run my first marathon 2. Obtain…

you can do better
My sisters and I just finished a month of FB status updates of memories of my dad for his birthday. My last memory was of us at a baseball game, about a week before I left for basic training. In between a beer or two, we started to talk about my future and what have you. We got on the subject of the girl I was dating at…

50 pounds lost progress pics
I have reached my goal weight of 170! Now comes the hard part; maintaining weight while building muscle. I focused mainly on cardio, but now I will add more strength training to my regiment. I plan on still using MFP to log calories, track workouts, and goof off with my friends in the forums (with the occassional…

Just bought my first pair of 'barefoot' shoes
Any tips for a new barefoot runner out there? I just bought Merrell's road glove after hearing great things from friends/online reviews, and I am taking them out for a test run here soon. Anything on what to expect, or just what you experienced when you made the switch would be most beneficial. Thanks!

friends with your ex?
Thank you everyone, editing because I've decided everyone's got their opinion on this and it's not going to get me anywhere, just need to think about it myself.

Fitness Test Question
So, I'm taking my PT test on thursday (1 min pushups, 1 min sit-ups, 1.5 mile run). Just curious if I should work out tonight or take two days of rest and not go to the gym tonight. I have no issues passing it, but am trying to score a 90 or higher this time around (Got an 89 last time). Thanks in advance!

Fresh & Easy
As a single young guy, cooking for just myself is a bit of a challenge. Part of what got me into the 'scare zone' was eating out almost every single day, and going to the bars. After I accepted the fact that my metabolism clearly isn't what it used to be in high school, I slowed down the drinking (I'm a lot happier now…

NSV
So STOKED! Spent about $250 last night at the mall (which for me, is A LOT) on some smaller clothes because my old ones made me look thugalicious (they were too big!). Needless to say, I'm loving my life right now and I'm so much happier and alive then I was 9 months ago... Cheers, Jared

Living my life and I don't care!
So, this weekend my friends and I will be hitting up Las Vegas! I'm seven pounds away from my goal, and I don't consider the fact that I'm going to enjoy myself (read: alcohol) as a bad thing. I have dropped almost 40 pounds in the last 10 months and one weekend isn't going to reverse that. So this week I'm getting in good…

Running & Lifting
I need advice. I've lost about 25 pounds already but I still want to slim down to about 170 (20 more lbs) to go.
