I've run, done yoga, done martial arts for years... I had a DEXA scan done in 2004 at 29 years of age that showed I have 120 lbs of lean mass and I had…

Hey all! New here :)
I started MFP just over 3 weeks ago after being on Weight Watchers since January. As a runner I burn a lot of calories and need to eat to run faster and farther.

Eat even more?! What do you think?
So... I came to MFP a little over a month ago after realizing I wasn't eating enough on Weight Watchers. As a runner, my goal is twofold: 1) to run faster and farther, and 2) to drop some pounds in the process.

Ever have those days?
... where you just want to eat your left arm?! I feel like eating today... eating lots. Even more than I've eaten... grrr... maybe I'm hormonal. But I'm hungry! And I already eat a lot. I don't know how people survive on 1200. Don't get it. At. All. Someone give me a cheeseburger...

How much do you eat/burn weekly? Losing weight?
Out of curiosity, would you please post the following? I really am just very curious to see what the MFP community is doing to lose weight. I hear a lot of people struggling to eat as little as 1200 calories and then many don't even eat more when they exercise. I'm wondering how the losses are? Gender: Female Age: 36…

Calibrate Nike+
EEK! I tried using Nike+ on my iPod Nano just to see how it compared to my Garmin. I expected it to be off with calories burned, but it was RIDICULOUSLY off with distance traveled. If you use Nike+, please be sure to calibrate it properly. Yesterday I ran 17.57km (10.92mi) and burned 1499 calories per my Garmin HRM. Nike+…
