Lose to Win -- Weight Loss for the Montreal Oasis Marathon!
Hello MTL MFPs!! I originally posted this in the "Long-distance Runners" group, but it hasn't gotten any attention yet. I suppose most of the people in that group are in the U.S., are there are so many marathons happening year-round there that our southern folks don't care about our cute Montreal race! I'm looking for MFPs…

Montreal Oasis Rock 'n' Roll Marathoners?!?
Hello runners! I'm looking for MFPs who will compete in the Montreal Oasis Rock 'n' Roll Marathon this year on September 25th.

Hi runners! I've started a running group in Montreal, and we meet every Saturday, each time to run at a different park on the island.

Calorie Deficits

I maintain a calorie intake of 1200 per day, but I have set a weight loss goal of 20 lb (I want to weigh 120 pounds, which is a healthy weight or my body size.)

Logging dinner parties, holiday meals, and cafe treats
I was invited to a dinner party that will be hosted in the home of my fiance's colleague. She will be cooking the entire meal, and I am wondering how I should go about logging my food! For the past month, I have been able to log meals at restaurants and cafes after noting down the recipes and finding the equivalent dishes…

Running at Parc Maisonneuve
Hey all, I'm looking to start a running group to follow a beginner marathon training schedule. I like to run at Parc Maisonneuve, but if you're up for meeting at Parc Mont Royal o somewhere else close to downtown, we can do that too. The point is to get going and keep going. Anyone with me?
