Remind me why it's better to lose weight slowly. Frustrated.
My husband and I have been losing weight together for a month. I've lost 9 pounds this month (its probably more like 5 pounds, because my starting weight was right after an all inclusive vacation so I'm sure I was holding onto some water weight) and he's lost 20! Everyone is telling him how good he looks and no one has…

Did I just mess up all my training for a full marathon?
I've been training for my first full marathon since July (Higdon started with novice but switched to advanced) 4 weeks ago I ran 17 miles. No issues, felt great afterwards. Continued my training all that week after, no issues. That Saturday I was suppose to run 14, I got to 11 and had to limp a mile home because of a pain…

Plantar fasciitis and marathon training
I've been training for my first marathon (November) for 2 months now and training has been great. I run 5x a week and got up to 40+ miles a week. Yesterday was a rest day but my son really wanted to go to this nerf gun arena where we run around and shoot each other. I figured it could be my cross training. After the nerf…

Elevation concerns during a marathon.
I signed up for my first marathon! The Rock n Roll in Vegas! I'm from Colorado; I live and train at 5280 feet above sea level. Las Vegas is 2030 feet. I wasn't too worried about the altitude change but I realized I was going down to sea level, 3 weeks before the marathon for a cruise. Is this change in altitude going too…

If you had 3000+ calories to consume, what would you splurge on?
On Sunday I'm running a half marathon and I will have a bunch of extra calories to consume so I'm going to splurge a little. I'm thinking pizza and beer. What would you splurge on?

Post Clean eating - before and after (Pictures)
TL;DR -The pictures on the LEFT are when I was 100% clean eating.... Yes the pictures on the left. Pictures on the right are my diet of pizza, french fries and pasta! I was told by MANY people that, "Oh all you need to do is eat clean and you can eat as much as you want!" And for someone that is always hungry and never…

The difference of 9 pounds. Picture.
I've been so discouraged because in the beginning of my weight lose journey everyone was coming up to me and telling me how good I've been looking and asking me how I was losing all the weight. These last couple months I've lost 9 pounds and no one has said a word. I was scared that I was losing only muscle and so I've…

24 minutes off my half marathon time!
I knocked a solid 24 minutes off my half marathon time today! I was completely shocked when I got to the finish line and saw I was crossing at 2 hours and 17 minutes! Needless to say my legs are hurting right now so I'm currently in an ice bath. I'm so excited!

Loosing weight while keeping muscle.
I'm pretty new to all this so I just need to know if this is at all possible. I started MFP religiously at the end of February and I've lost about 10 pounds since then. As I've lost those 10 pounds I've noticed that I can't run as hard and fast as I use to. I also notice that I can't lift as much as I use to. I feel like a…

The biggest compliment....
I've been doing MFP religiously for 67 days. My husband comes up to me and says, "I can't believe how good you are looking... I'm going to start doing your little myfitnesspal thing so I can start looking good like you." I'm so excited! And now that he's starting, I'm getting excited about MFP all over again! I didn't have…

Just finished my first half!!!!
I'm so excited I was able to actually able to finish a half marathon! THis has been on my bucket list for YEARS. I did it in 2 hours and 41 minutes so I'm pretty happy with that time as my first. AH Ready for the full!
-
Calorie deficit and running time.
I started back up with MFP about 3 weeks ago because I had been in a weight loss plateau for 6 weeks and I needed to change something. I have MFP set to, "lose .5 pounds," a week, I underestimate on my exercises and usually only eat half my exercise calories so I probably average 2000 calories a day. I lost 4 pounds right…

I need help with the rest of my baby weight!
So last year I joined mfp to try and slim down. Instead of slimming down, I accidentally got pregnant and gained 60 pounds in my pregnancy. I'm down 31 pounds but I've stopped losing weight (I definitely haven't been the healthiest with the holidays) so I'm doing mfp to get this baby weight to disappear!

15 pound by May 18th!
I just found out I will be in Vegas the weekend of May 18th and I decided to get my life back in shape and be 15 pounds lighter by then! I will work out at least 3 times a week, I will keep my calories under 1500 a day, and I will eat at least 5 servings of vegetables a day! Any other advice or helpful hints are much…

Drinking and dieting.
For my new years resolution I decided to start the year off right and do, "Dry January." For the entire month of January I didn't drink and I didn't loose any weight. I stayed the same weight (even with the 5 pounds of holiday weight I put on) and I kept my eating the same and working out the same. So in February I started…

Caffeine and weight loss?
I've heard that it helps with weight loss and I've also heard that it doesn't help with weight loss... What are your experiences with your caffeine consumption and your weight loss?

Just a little sucess
All week I've been a little over my calorie intake (about 50-100) so I was dreading stepping on the scale for my weekly weigh in this morning... Lost 1.5 pounds :) I have no idea how it happened but I was pretty excited...

Is a 30 minute workout better than no work out?
I get an hour for lunch so my lunch usually goes as follows: 10 mins to get to the gym 5 mins to get ready 30 min workout 5 min to get ready for work 10 mins back I just want to make sure that I'm not just wasting my time by only getting 30 minutes in on some days.

How to eat on a big day of working out?
Today is my day off from work so I usually spend today working out like crazy. First my 4-year-old son and I go to a place full of trampolines and jump for 2 hours. Next I take a spinning class for an hour. Lastly I finish the day with Zumba for another hour. Before I started using MFP I would just eat what ever I wanted…

How do you bounce back after a bad day?
How do you bounce back after you have a terrible day of eating nothing but horrible food? I had a pop tart for breakfest then a Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte for lunch... And now I feel terrible because I've been nothing but healthy all week.
