Pre - "deployment" detachment
Hi everyone, My boyfriend is in the Army and recently we found out that he is headed to Korea in June 2013. I don't know that this is technically a deployment but for all intents and purposes that's what I'm calling it here. Yesterday he ended up coming home in the morning because he worked the night before and he was…

Negotiations
Ok, so I am obsessed with pumpkin ice coffee from Dunkin's so in order to keep enjoying them I decided to eliminate the coffee creamer I've been using for my home brewed coffee. What have you switched up in your life in order to make some room for something you love but that's not exactly healthy? ETA - not that this…

Crock pot oats - help
I just made my second batch of crock pot oats. The first time I made them I did it overnight and turned it off - came back to it after it had cooled and stored it some tupperware. This time I have a time crunch so I cooked them and they just finished and I portioned it out into mason jars. Kind of nervous because it's…

Strange things we say to our SO
Quack quack = I love you! When I first got my phone I set my text tone to a duck quacking and since then quack quack has become a term of endearment between me and my boyfriend. What oddities do you and your SO say to each other??

Nike Training Club - Workout Breakdown
Unfortunately I don't own an HRM right now (but will be getting one as soon as my budget allows) and I just did a seriously kick butt workout with Nike Training Club. I'm not sure how I should log it so I've provided a breakdown of what I did in hopes that someone might be able to point in the right direction. 15 Minute…

Possible blood glucose issue (not sure, just guessing)
Hey guys, So I have been having some issues lately and unfortunately I don't have the money to go to the doctor or cover any expenses related to it and I'm trying to find ways to do some self diagnosis, monitoring, and fixing of the problems. Background, I used to eat lots crap - way too much sugar, fat carbs,…

Jeans NSV (and grumble)!!
Sooooo. I tend to have a single pair of jeans that I wear consistently. Before moving down South (arrived the first of April) I had this pair of size 15's that were my go to for jeans. I had to stop wearing them at some point because they just started getting big and I looked like frumplestilstkin. Today I tried them on…

From MFP to the "Real World"
Soooo - I have a Zumba date tomorrow with one of my MFP friends and it got me wondering how many other MFP peeps have had a similar situation where they met someone on MFP and became workout buddies or friends outside of MFP?

Looking for a 5k program (not C25K)
Hey everyone, So I finished the C25K Program about two weeks ago. I built myself up to 30 minute runs but wasn't at 3.1 miles yet and figured I could just work on that on my own. Welllll. I seem to be having a hard time completing longer runs and I'm thinking that maybe it's just that I don't have the structure of a…

I made it!
I just got back in from running my last official C25K run!! :drinker: The past 9 weeks have been incredibly challenging and rewarding and I can't believe it's over. I wasn't an active kid growing up and I most certainly was not a runner (not including scenarios involving police and childhood debauchery) and somehow I…

I just threw up in my mouth
Sometimes I stroll over to the message board and then have to run away really quickly because I see a lot of judgmental people who are under the impression that their opinion is the only opinion that exists. Other times I see some truly disgusting crap from people and it makes me embarrassed to be of the same species.…

I'm not as tall as I thought
I've been under the impression for several years that I was 5 ft 5. I went to a new doc today and they took my measurements and it said I was 5 ft 3. I scoffed at them and had them re-measure me several times. I still didn't believe them so I just had my boyfriend take a measurement and I'm 63 and some odd inches or…

Do you smell?
I have my ears pierced and I wear cheapo crap from WM and I noticed that the holes sometimes smell terrible. Blegh Where's your stink come from?

No More Back Boobs!!
Woop woop! Down almost 27 (or will be once I check in) and I noticed this morning after my run that I no longer have back boobs. :)

What's behind the name?
My real name is Sharon and soontobesam is a play on what my intials will be once my boyfriend and I get married (S.A.M). What's your real name (if you are comfortable sharing) and what's your MFP name mean (or is it your real name)? Let's go!! :glasses:

WHY ARE NONE OF MY COMMENTS GOING THROUGH?
I'm having a ***** of a time posting comments today. If I'm lucky I can get one out and then have to sign out and back in and maybe I can get another. I'm commenting crazy woman and this is unacceptable. lol No idea where I should have posted this so too bad its in the wrong spot.

I'm 27 and weighed just over 200lbs when I started and have lost just under 10lbs so far.

Endomondo Help (or any app that tracks time, speed etc)
Hi all - I am doing C25K and I use the Endomondo App on my phone to record all my data. I'd always had the activity set to walking since that is what I started doing and during the first few weeks of intervals I wasn't too concered about it. I'd like to set it to running today - just to see what happens I guess but I will…

Scale Victory!!
I've lost 21lbs!!! My goal is 50lbs so I have a bit more to lose but when I first started I didn't think I'd ever see double digits let alone a number begininng with something other than 1. Big shout out to all my MFP friends. I am so thankful to have you all and appreciate all the support, tough love and advice needed…

Why are some of you so angry?
I've seen some pretty inspiring stuff on MFP and some really amazing people who offer the knowledge they've accumulated to help out a newb or someone struggling to find a solution. That being said I've seen some pretty hostile stuff from some of you too. Why are you so angry - why do you feel the need to rip someones head…

Puke
Lovely topic - sorry folks. :embarassed: I started doing C25K three weeks ago and just completed Week 3 today. I don't believe it happened during Week 1 but during Week 2 and this 3rd week I found myself in front of the toilet after completing my jog and getting home. I'm sure there could be a bajillion different reasons…

Who is that??
Lately I've been noticing a lot of small changes in my body. The other week I was getting into the shower and happened to take a glance at myself in the mirror and barely recognized my own butt! Just now I was walking out of the bathroom (apparently all my good stories revolved around the bathroom in some way) and went to…

Lasik Surgery?
Just wondering if any of my fellow MFPers have had Lasik Surgery? Looking to get a sense if people are happy with their decision or feel they made a wrong choice. I have TERRIBLE vision and plan on getting Lasik in the next few years. Please don't share your opinions on it if you haven't actually had it - no offense meant…

"Stranger" NSV
There is a park near my house and I have been walking pretty much daily since the 2nd week of April. There is always this one girl there getting her walk on too and we wave and smile when we pass eachother. A few weeks ago someone tried breaking into her car and we ended up talking a little bit. We have quick chats here…

Trouble Eating More
I was on board with eating at 1200 calories a day for the first month I was on here and then recently my weight loss stalled out so I started stalking the message board and found lots of helpful information about increasing my calorie goal etc etc. I ran a report on my net calories and found that I was well under my 1200…

C25K NSV
Today I completed my 2nd day of C25K (woop, woop) and where I walk puts me on a steep slope for my last 60second jog session - I did this on Wednesday (Day 1) and thought I was going to kick the bucket. Today was still really hard but I knew it was coming and got myself mentally prepared and I jogged my fat *kitten* up the…
