Half-Marathon Training: The Beginning Stages & Mental Block
Hi Everyone! I have been running for a little over a year now, and I'm currently training for my first half-marathon in August. I've ran a couple of 5K races and previously worked my way up to six-mile runs before I injured my leg earlier this year. I'm all healed up now, but I have a mental block. I'm using Hal Higdon's…

Looking for the best 10K app (I have completed c25k)
Hi Everyone! I am looking for the best app for training for a 10K. I started a training program this week, and I just realized that it's actually a program (10K Forever) to help IMPROVE your 10K... I have ran 10K a few times, but I want to work up to doing it comfortably. Anyway, I'm looking for a good app for my iPhone. I…

To ladies (who like to sweat) with really long hair
Hi everyone! I have really been enjoying my new found love for exercise, but I need hair help! I have exxtremely thick, long, course hair, and I just can't wash it every day. I typically only wash it every 3 days, but it just gets soaked when I exercise! I have just been piling it on the top of my head on non-wash days,…

Monthly Weighers? Let's Do This!
Hi Everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has thought of starting a group for monthly weighers? I threw my scale away almost a month ago now, and I'm loving it! I weigh-in on the first of each month now (at my mom's house;). I have found that not having a scale in my house keeps me from obsessing. I have had far less bad…

Is "Naked" juice a good choice?
Before I started on my weight loss journey, I fell in love with Naked juice. I've been incorporating it into my diet, but it's a whole lot of calories for a drink. I know it has the juice of lots of different fruits/veggies, but is it really a good choice? I've taken a break from it the last couple of days, but I have…

My confession... Emotions and Eating. Help!
I've lost weight before. Twice. The first time was back in 2000. I joined Weight Watchers and lost 72.5lbs. I got to my goal weight and even padded it a little by losing 10 extra pounds. I was the healthiest I have ever been. Well, my body was healthy, but in my mind, I was very unhealthy... I didn't think I deserved the…

What are your goals leading up to GOAL?
Hi Everyone! I thought it would be motivating to list our mini goals leading up to our ultimate goal. One thing I have failed at in the past is allowing myself to feel good on the journey, expecting to just feel amazing once I hit goal. I did hit goal years ago and didn't stay there long, due to not making goals AFTER I…

Back & ready to get healthy & in shape... for life!
Hi Everyone! I'm Kelly. I joined MFP leading up to my wedding in September 2011. I am back and have decided to completely start fresh. I'm an all or nothing person, so I need to learn that it's okay if I mess up and get right back on the wagon... (and not wait til a year later;) I'm a very busy girl... I go to college…
