Injured My Toe - Should I Hold Off Running?
Around 10 days ago, I injured a toe (right foot, the one next to the pinky toe) when I walked full force into a chair at home while barefoot. It hurt pretty bad that night and the next day. It was only discolored for one day but then returned to the same fleshy color as the others. But the swelling is still there. I have…

One Year Without Diet Soda !
Actually it's been one year and one week. I had my last Diet Coke on December 10, 2011.

Food Scale -- To Buy or Not To Buy?
I'm been with MFP for a month now and am surprised how easy it's been to track the food I eat each and every day. I've never been one for keeping personal regular logs of anything so this has just enhanced the whole experience. To date I've lost 11 pounds! Now I find myself carefully monitoring and scrutinizing portion…
