Hey Runners! (advice from heavy runners with a high arch)
Hi guys! It's that time to buy new runners again. I am very heavy and have an extremely high arch. The last pair I got was a pair of Asics and they had that duomax built in arch thing, and I loved them. I also had to get mens as the females were very very narrow.

The little tracker on your profile?
Hi guys, I just came back to MFP (yesterday). I have started going to the motivation clinic and I would like my tracker to reflect the starting weight so I can see what weight I've actually lost.

Being a Vegan in Ireland...any others?
Hey, looking for other vegans in Ireland. I'm curious do you have a hard time finding places that cater to veganism?

Anyone else ever do nostalgic exercise?
So, I'm incredibly out of shape! So, I wanted to do something that I wouldn't end up hurting myself doing.

So I did Sweatin…

Heart Rate...
