Starting fresh!
Hello! A month ago I decided to take a month off from Myfitnesspal. I was at a streak of 1020 days but realized I was only logging on to keep the streak going, but I was failing to eat right. I needed a mental reset and now I am back and ready to go! A few things changed in the last month. I went from an active on my feet…

Runners!
So, I just finished the C25K program and I am 1 week into the 5k to 10k program. I would really love some runner friends that can give some support and advice. :) One thing I am struggling with is hydration. I drink water all day, go for a run, 20 minutes in I am SO dehydrated it is disgusting. Like, lips white and…

What do you do with phone/keys/etc
What do you do with phone/keys and the likes when you go for a run? I am having a hard time finding a light weight, short sleeved jacket that has zipper pockets. I currently have a winter running jacket that does okay, except it isn't water proof and I live in the PNW. I've tried putting my keys in my bra and holding onto…

Bike Rack
I am looking for a bike rack for my car. I have a 2008 subaru legacy with a spoiler. Anyone know of a good bike rack that will fit with the spoiler? It only needs to hold one bike.

Places to eat in Seattle...
Can you recommend a place to eat in Seattle? My friends and I are open to any kind of food - but we are on a tight budget. Like, poorer than college student budget (if we could get away with 10 dollars a person, that would be amazing). We will be in the University District tonight and need to grab a bite to eat at some…

Recipes with Chicken, Rice, Pasta or Hamburger patties...
Okay so....I am REALLY tight on money right now. I have a few things on hand, rice, pasta, can of baked beans. And then in my freezer I have chicken, hamburger patties, and some chicken sausage. I have been grilling every night because I get home late and it's too warm to start up the oven. BUT I am sick of grilling, or at…

Finding a place to rent...
What are some good websites to find a place to rent (long term, not vacation)? I really don't like craigslist. And places like rent.com and apartment.com are only coming up with apartments. I would love to find a house. (I'm in WA)

Seeing/finding a therapist
Hi I've been suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts (no, I am not having these thoughts right now. And I've never acted on them. I am not in need of help RIGHT now, I've been that way before and I reached out to someone) for way too long. And I would like to find a therapist. I'm not really sure how to go about…

Bra shopping....
So, I've lost enough weight that I need to get new bras. I measured myself, and my band size has gone down but then my cup size has gone up? Is that possible? Or am I doing it wrong? I measured around my band, then measured around the fullest part of my breast and subtracted those two numbers. The difference used to be 2…

Need sweet tooth help...
I am having a major sweet tooth right now. I have 380 calories left for the day. I don't have anything in my house that will satisfy my craving. Any suggestions? I have butter, salt, sugar, cocoa powder...but no eggs or flour. I also have chocolate and vanilla protein powder. Know of a good "mug" dessert I can make without…

I need someone to tell me it will all work out.
This is kind of a "PLOM" thread (poor little old me). I realize it isn't the end of the world but I am really upset right now. I've been doing the C25k program. I just finished week 5. I did a 20 minute run yesterday, non stop, for the first time in probably 10 years. I maintained a 12 and a half minute mile. I was feeling…

Dog crate help?
I live in a very small space and need to crate my dog. For the past 9 months we used her airplane crate, which is huge. But I am finally able to get furniture for ME and the crate doesn't fit (the crate was literally the only furniture for 9mos lol). I am looking for a good durable collapsible crate, one that I could…

Chicken breast - How to cook?
I have no idea how to cook chicken breast, I haven't prepared it in years because I've been a vegetarian. What should the oven be set to? And how long does it take? And how many ounces is a chicken breast, on average? Now a serving size, but the actual size of a chicken breast. These look huge to me. Also...how should I…

Internet?
Okay so this might be a weird thing to ask here, or even the wrong place.... Just wondering who you guys have for internet and what you pay? I had Comcast and things were great, paying 24.99 a month and then this past month it jumped up to 44.99 a month. I am really underemployed and can not afford 44.99. The best they…

Friends with open diaries
I have an amazing group of friends on here already, but I am looking for more. I am looking for supportive encouraging friends. I'm not always the cleanest eater but I do try to make healthy choices. I also am a believer that calories should really be looked at over a course of a week, not a day. Meaning, one day you might…

My first NSV!!
Today I was outside with my dog...somehow she got out of her harness. She sees a bird and takes off, I start chasing after her. As I am running, my jeans start to fall. I nearly fell on my face from my pants almost being at my knees. So YAY for almost letting my face meet the asphalt!

Cats, dogs and litter boxes?
Okay so...I recently moved into a very tiny apartment. I have really no place to put my cats litter box. It will not fit in the bathroom so it has to be in the living room. The issue is, I have a dog that believes the cat poop is golden nuggets left behind for her to snack on. Currently I have a TV stand kitty-cornered…

What is a food....
What is a food that you HATE but wished you liked? Not wished you liked because it is healthy but just want to like because it seems like it should taste good? Mine is seaweed. I know that might be weird to some but I was eating sushi tonight and it made me think of it. I don't mind eating seaweed wrapped sushi and I saw…

Starting fresh!
So, I've been using MFP for a few years now off and on. My last account was hacked and I never got around to making a new one. I've recently moved from the East coast of CT to the Olympia, WA area. I figured now is the time to start fresh with EVERYTHING, including my weight loss goals. I'm looking for some friends! I am a…

Annoyance
So I realize this might be locked too but I was just reading in the thread "Honest Opinions, No arguments" and I can't even begin to tell you how much it turned me off from this website that it was locked. Woah. You seriously think this shouldn't be discussed? How is this different from any other advice thread? There are…
