Finally! Thank you.
A couple of weeks ago I posted here complaining about a plateau. I’ve been stuck for months. A couple of you looked at my diary and pointed out a couple of things including that I had been eating out a lot. Even though I was ordering in the healthier side of things, when I stayed away from restaurants this week, I finally…

Breaking Plateau
Hello! I have been stuck for a couple of months at the same weight. Honestly, I wasn’t really trying so it was understandable. However, for the last week and a half I have been tracking and exercising at least 30 minutes a day. Nothing has happened. Any suggestions or helpful criticisms to get the ball rolling again?

Gear for long runs
Hello all! I’m training for half marathons and I received a gift card to a running store for Christmas. What are some must haves for long runs?

How often do you let yourself eat what you really want?
For instance, if you're going out to eat, how often do you let yourself get that burger instead of a salad or fries instead of broccoli?

Gone up 10 pounds-Now 15 pounds from goal
I've been working on losing weight for well over 2 years. I had lost 50 pounds. Not going to lie-I'm so tired of tracking everything. I'm 5'4 and was down to 141. I'm now back up to 150 or so. I wanted to be at 135, so my goal weight doesn't seem unreasonable. I was running 5 days a week, but anxiety took hold bad last…

Staying Motivated-less than 10 pounds from goal
Hello! I was just wondering if anyone else who is really close to their goal is having a hard time staying motivated? I'm on summer break (I'm a teacher). I just want to be lazy and eat whatever I want. I've kinda gotten to do that the last week with my husband being off. Now that we're starting a new week I'm getting…

I love running!!!
I've been running for over a year. Took a month off in December and came back strong since the beginning of the year. I've worked up to five days a week. It's done so much for my mood, body, etc. It's helped me lose 45 pounds in the last year, build my confidence, make me feel strong, and not to mention, my legs are…

South Beach Diet?
I've been at a standstill for a long time. I'm wanting to do something different to get things going again. How do you guys feel about the South Beach Diet? Has anyone done it with success? Was it worth it? It's saying you can lose anywhere between 8 and 12 pounds the first two weeks...any truth to that? EDIT: I'm editing…

Keeping Safe When You Run
After taking a month off of running I got back on it last week, today being the first day back out on the road. I was wondering a few things: 1. How do you find new places/routes to run? 2. Do you try to avoid places with dogs, people, etc., or just go wherever you want and deal with it along the way? 3. How do you keep…

When did you notice a difference with the 30 Day Shred?
I just completed Level 2 Day 2. When did you start notice inches being lost? Was it at the end, or did you notice difference by the end of each level? I know everyone is different, but I'm curious.

What kind of bread do you buy?
I've tried buying bread from the deli but it goes bad too quickly, and I really don't care for freezing it. I've looked at labels at the store and still have a hard time deciding which bread is best. It'd be nice to find a loaf that doesn't have so many calories but has good nutrients. Any suggestions?

30 Day Shred Question
I just did my second day of the 30DS. And holy crap I'm sore. Bad sore. I did day 1 on Monday and waited to do day 2 today. Do you work through the pain and do it every day or do it every other day? I know I'm going to do mine every other day until I adjust. I guess my main question is how sore were you when you first…

Taking a Break from Running?
Hello! I've been running for almost a year now. I started with the C25K program and have run several 5ks this past year and I really enjoy it. However, the last few weeks I have been forcing myself to go. I don't look forward to it like I used to. I'm considering doing the 30DS for a different workout and to lose some…

How do I help this pain?
I run 4 times a week 3 miles or more each time. I'm also doing 30 Day Shred. I'm having this pain on the inside of both of my legs about 2 inches above my ankle. I've been fitted for shoes an such so I know it's not that. I've really noticed it after I started the 30DS. Has anyone else had this pain? Do you have any…

Anyone running in Florida?
I live in Florida and it has been really humid here, even in the mornings. Just curious if anyone else here lives in Florida (or any other humid place) and how you're doing with your running/outdoor exercise?

I'm going way over today....
Today is my birthday and I'm going to end up being way over...waaaayyyyy over. I've been at a platue for weeks and I'm hoping that maybe I'll get lucky and when I get back on track tomorrow I'll break through it. :) Hey a girl can dream right? Do you guys ever go over a lot for something like this?

Plateau...a little help? Or helpful criticism?
Hello! I've been stuck at the same weight for pretty much a month. I'm not sure what to do. I had all these goals set for the summer and they've gone out the window because the scale won't budge. So I've opened up my diary. The last few days haven't been the best because yesterday was my birthday. Please give me some…

Running and 30 Day Shred
Hello! I'd like to get your opinions, please :) I've been running for almost a year, and I've been working really hard at it for the last several weeks because I'm off for summer vacation. Last week I ran 18 miles. How do you think it would work to do 30 day shred after my runs? Would that be too much, or a good thing?

A little help please? About calories...
A ton of people have asked this question and now I'm going to too...How many calories do you think I should consume a day? MFP has me set at just a little over 1300. I weigh 159.2 and am 5'4. I run at least 3 times a week and try to stay decently active since I'm on summer break now. My TDEE is 2371 and BMR is 1529. I'd…

10 pounds in 6 days?
Is that even possible to gain that much? I was on vacation and stayed pretty active, either walking around, going for my runs, or swimming in the ocean. I stay at or under 2,000 calories. More than what my goal is, but I think I did pretty well with everything going on. But seriously, 10 pounds? Is that even physically…

Winghouse
Hello all! We are going out to Winghouse tonight, and I've never been. I tried looking up nutrition info for it, but couldn't really find any. Any ideas or suggestions for what I should order so I don't kill it? Thanks!

I'm sorry...I found this hilarious...
With all this zombie stuff going on, my brother-in-law posted this on his facebook. I know it was a stupid prank for the guy to do, but I couldn't help laughing. http://youtu.be/4awVqRr1eCo Sorry if someone has posted this.

MFP's Weight Prediction
What do you think of MFP's weight prediction at the end of each day? I know it's not reliable at all, but have any of you noticed your weight loss line up with it? Just curious.

Goga?
Has anyone ever heard of this? Or better yet, tried it? It's supposed to make you tighten and burn calories by standing on a vibrating platform. There's a studio near me and just curious what others thought.

How many days a week do you run?
Just curious how many days a week the runners here run? How far do you go? How long have you been running?

Confused.
I recently got off for summer break a little over a week ago. Since I don't have to worry about work, I've amped up my exercise. I run more, have been working with my weights in the living room more, and going to the gym more. This past weekend I had a bit going on and I ate out several times. I always went as healthy as I…

Running Shoe Question
I've been running in Saucony Hurricane 14s for a few months. I was fitted for them in a running shoe store. I know that I overpronate and need shoes with stability support. I found Mizuno Inspire 7s online and bought them. I ran in them this morning, and as far as I can tell they feel great! I ended up in the running shoe…

What difference did a HRM make for you?
I'm considering buying one, but I want to know if it will be really worth the money. Plus, I'm not too sure about wearing a strap around my chest...isn't that uncomfortable?

How do you know it's fat loss?
Just wondering how you know that the weight you are losing is due to fat loss? I work out regularly and pay close attention to my diet. I lose anywhere between .5 to 1.8 pounds a week. How do I know I'm losing fat? Just by measuring myself?

Shoulder Question for Runners
Hello! I've been running since November, with a month break because I got really ill. I've been back at it for a few weeks and haven't had too much trouble getting back into the groove. I run about 3.3 miles usually. I'm still pretty slow with a 12/12.5 minute mile. Here's my question: Since I started back, I'm having…
