Ultra marathon drop bags
I've been scouring the internet looking for advice on what to pack in my drop bag(s) for my ultra on Saturday. If anyone has a good tried and true list they've used I would appreciate it!

24-hour ultra marathons
Has anyone ever participated in one of these events? Somehow I didn't know they existed until today... I mean I know about the big relays like Ragnar, but I didn't know there were solo ultras measured simply by the 24-hour period. If you have experience with 24-hour ultras I would love to hear ALL about them and your…

Best marathon training plan and why?
Hi! Just curious what plans have been successful for others. I'm currently training for my first marathon. I have completed three half marathons, (will have completed five before my full), and two 20-miler training runs (will complete at least 1-2 more before my full; one being a fully supported & timed running club run).…

Epic "Hamburger Bun" Substitution (no cauliflower)
*crossing fingers on picture posting* Grilled chicken breast filleted and stuffed with a grilled beef burger, 2 slices cheese & four slices bacon. This is what I made for supper tonight and it was pretty life changing for me. I highly recommend it.

Where to buy pants? HELP?!
Today I tried on pants at several of the "trendier" clothing stores for the first time since I was a few years out of high school (probably 12+ years ago). I have been significantly overweight since I was in my early 20's and therefore had no reason to shop these stores. Wellllll... What the heck?! Does anyone make pants…

Runner's Unite in Remembrance #BostonMarathon
I got home not long ago from running my very first trail run! I've been running for almost a year, and have been getting serious about it for about four months. I am not super speedy (YET!) but I have fallen in love with running! I was devastated that some lunatic (or group of them) would target my second family (the…

What do you weigh per inch?
I'm not sure why I thought to do this, but I just took my weight (in pounds) and divided it by my height (in inches) and I weigh 2.7 pounds per inch of height. Curious if anyone else has ever done this and what they got as their answers? I'm silly I guess... 189.5 pounds / 70 inches (5'10") Maybe I'm excited because I…

Pounds/week based on total weight loss goal
Somewhere (I thought here on MFP, but maybe not) I had seen a logical realistic chart showing what goal you should chose based on how much weight you have to lose. Example: 100 or more pounds: chose 2lbs/week goal Can someone site a source that shows something like this? Thanks!!!!!

100 pounds lost, now what?
Hello! I'm hoping to find friends that have lost close to 100 pounds or more and still have weight to lose. I'm also curious to know if anyone had a period of difficulty around this time?

They aren't reasons, they're excuses
Needed to vent, sick of some of my MFP friends clogging up my timeline with nothing but excuses. Don't defend your fast food to me. Don't defend your crap food choices to me. Don't make a big "to do" about why you're sure to go into the red today. We're all human and we all make mistakes. I know for sure I've made…

Cleanse or not
I started a cleanse yesterday and wrote a blog post about it. I wanted to detox my body of all the crap that I ate prior to tracking and never thought to do it sooner (; If you're "con" on cleanses that is perfectly fine, I think everyone is entitled to their opinion. If you're "pro" cleanse or just curious please check…
