I'm doing my first 5K charity walk this weekend and wonder what would be my best bet for breakfast? Should I have something lighter, like cereal or fruit, or something more substaintial, like eggs? Thanks!

What did you today that made you proud of yourself?
I've seen this thread on here before and I love it. I didn't notice one for today so I figured I'd start it up. Today I am proud of myself for jogging for 17 minutes out of my 85 minute walk. I have never been a runner/jogger so being able to do that much is a big accomplishment for me. What did you do today that you're…

Where do you get your gear?
I'm planning to join derby next year and was wondering where everyone gets their gear. I'm just looking for beginner gear right now and trying to find stuff as cheap as possible for now and upgrade later. I was wondering if anyone has some great places they find stuff for cheap. Thanks! :drinker:

My first charity walk
Don't know why I'm writing this, but whatever, it's on my mind. I will be participating in my first 5k charity walk on saturday (4/28). It's for the March for Babies and I'm on a team with a girl i went to high school with. Her daughter was born 9 weeks early and was in the NICU until her due date. It's a subject close to…

A bit confused wit the BMR stuff
So i've read that a lot of people are getting more results by upping their calories to be more reflective of their BMR. I did the military BMR calculator and came up with 2000. Does that mean I should be eating 2000 calories a day, and eat back my exericse calories or should I be eating less than that... After I figured…

How do I get my family to back off?
I decided to put this up after reading the thread about the people getting mad that someone had decided not to have kids. I have a similar problem. I do want kids, but not right now. I am of the mind set right now "if it happens, it happens" but I don't plan on trying for kids until maybe another year. My husband and I…

Crazy Sister Story: Too funny not to share!
So, my sister is nuts, I like she's a borderline or biopolar. Anywho, she decided to snoop through her husbands e-mail and found, in his spam mail, e-mails with topics for fetishes (like feet, nylons, etc). So because she found that in his SPAM e-mail, she is convinced that he's some type of fetish freak and wants a…

My first attempt at quinoa!
I just wanted to post that I just tried quinoa for the first time. Yumm! I saw a thread on here a few days ago about it and decided to give it a whirl. I made it with italian seasoning, spinach, and a bit of cheese. I made a 1 cup batch last night (which made a lot more than I expected!) and I brought a smaller portion…

What seasonal treat busts your calorie budget?
I was just wondering... What's the one food item that comes out only seasonally that you can't resist. (Example: Easter they have peeps and cadbury eggs out right now) I am a sucker for cadbury eggs. I used to eat a box (four per package) within 2 days. So far I have kept myself away from them this year and Easter is…

Bored at Work - What do you do?
I work at an apartment program for mental health clients who are pretty independent, but needs some direction on occasion. I usually have all my paperwork done for the week within a day because I'm a quick typist. SO, I'm running out of things to do while I'm working. Does anyone else out there have a job that they need to…

Need Help with Dinners!
SO I live in a meat and potatoes kind of family. I am trying to find healthier alternatives to the favorite meals but its tough. My family always has potatoes or rice with each meal and 2 out of 4 of them are not huge veggie fans. I don't want to cook a separate meal for myself, but I am having a hard time coming up with…

Need to get my rear in gear!
I was actually a member of myfitnesspal.com overa year ago, but I wasn't ready to loose the weight. I still wanted to pig-out on fried foods and never exercise. Now I have been trying harder to eat healthy foods and get outside to at least walk. I also have Zumba for Wii, which I love. I used to go to a zumba class 2x…
