Yahoo article about "cardio making you fat"
http://health.yahoo.net/experts/yahoo-spotlight/why-your-cardio-routine-making-you-fat IMHO, I take this with a grain of salt. My weight-loss didn't start getting serious until I started running, even though I've been weight training for years. Do you all have any thoughts?

Running Apps
I downloading Runtastic since links so nicely to this site, but before I buy the Pro version, I wanted to ask the community what you think is the best running app. Runtastic Pro? RunKeeper? Whatever else the heck is out there? Mostly I've been sticking to the treadmill, but I'm starting to run in the neighborhoods next to…

Running Accessories
I started to make my Christmas list, filling it with running accessories (like a better armband, better bluetooth, better leash for my Rhodesian) but I'm starting to think I won't be able to hold out that long before I just buy any (or all!) of these for myself. What running accessory could you not live without?

Am I truly "eating to live"?
My husband has been saying for years that he wishes he could get hypnotized out of really loving food and into the mindset of eating for nourishment. So when I made the comment yesterday to him that I can't remember the last time I really enjoyed a meal, since I'm choosing my foods based on what I need and what my daily…

Running and Carbs
I've always heard that serious running requires serious carbs. I'm not a runner, but I've started running in the past few months, and have built myself up to a 5K. I've lost 24 pounds so far, but of course the midsection is where I'm slowest in losing the flab, so I've been considering lowering my carb input, but I wonder…

ponytails
I try really hard not to be judgmental of what other women do at the gym, especially if it's possible I'm just guilty of hating on them because they're younger and firmer than myself. So rather than say WTF is up with that, I'm asking if there are any here that fit the description and can " 'splain this to me, Lucy." Do…

Today's NSV
Once upon a time, I was a contestant in Miss Florida. I always try to keep that in the back of my mind; that I wouldn't want someone to look at me with incredulity if I ever mention that. Like "YOU were in a pageant?!" Today, after losing 21 pounds, I tried on my interview suit that I wore for competition, and it fit! This…

MFP vs. Quicker stuff advertised
It occurred to me the other day -- as I was watching the umpteenth commercial for a weight-loss program, prescription drug, experimental trial that promised dramatic, quick, effortless weightloss -- how many times I've wished I had the courage to try one of them. And now I'm so glad that I didn't. I bet you are too! * I'm…

To Change or Not to Change?
I'm a teacher, and I started using MFP about a week after school let out, so I set my activity level at sedentary since I don't tend to do much when I'm on vacation but sit around and read. I'm 5'4", 132 pounds, and after losing 14 pounds, I'm trying to lose another 5-6. When school starts back up in another week, I'm…
