How do you watch fitness blender
Do you use your computer/laptop? OR do you hook up your laptop to a TV? I just checked the site out for the first time today and thought WOW! And its all for free which seems crazy. I have slow internet at home so I doubt I could use it there but I wondered if I were to ever get decent interent service at home, if you all…

Help with muscle pain
Back in June, after a long run(long for me, 5 miles, typical run was about 3), I had some major pain in the top right side of my right thigh. It came on a couple hours after my run and it seemed more like hip pain, almost like my hip was out of socket. Toward the end of the day and into the next day when I would stand up…

30 DS Results (sorry, no pics)
I didn't take a starting picture. Really planned on it but I never got around to it. I started 30DS on April 6 and i finished it out this morning. I didn't take any breaks until I hit level 3 and had a couple days where there just where enough hours in the day for everything. But I did 10 days at each level, which had me…

NSV: First 5K
I didn't think this would be such a big deal, but I ran in my first 5k on Saturday. I did pretty good too, I think for my first time, I did it in 30:10, and I only missed 3rd place in my age group by 30 seconds. Looks like a lot of good runners can do this in about 26 minutes, so that is my new goal. To get my time down…

Changes in what I can eat since losing weight
Since losing about 90 pounds total in the past 2 years, I can no longer eat eggs or drink milk without have severe tummy troubles. Hard to imagine that losing weight would have caused these issues but what else could it be? The milk issue has come up recently, I used to enjoy a nice bowl of cereal as my snack, but now it…

Signed up for first 5K, questions about training
After almost being on this journey of getting fit for a year, I have decided to sign up for my first 5k. In the past year, I have run here and there but was so focused on the scale that when I saw an increase the weeks I ran, I would ditch that as part of my exercise routine. Now I'm more interested in setting this goal of…

What to do about knees?
I thought losing weight was supposed to help your joints! My knees are quite achy these days. My workout schedule is made up of running, walking, and JM 30 DS. I do some heavy weight lifting, but it's mostly upper body stuff. I want to get started on Strong Lifts, but the thought of squats and the way it hurts my knees…

Protein for dummies
I need a protein for dummies conversation. I looked at my protein intake for the last 90 days and it hovers around 50-60 grams average a day. I know I should be much higher than that based on the things I have read here on MFP. I have been on this journey since July 2012, and have lost at least 65 pounds. I am currently on…

NSV--See ya later pedometer
I had to wear a pedometer as part of a weight manangement activity for my employer sponsored health care plan. If your BMI was over 30, you were required to join weight watchers or wear a pedometer and walk at least 5000 steps daily to keep your deductibles low. Today I went for my one year physical and my BMI was under 30…

Sick and working out
I've had the flu since Sunday and have missed my workout for 4 days now. Really sucks. I have missed it but I can barely breathe and fatigued. Was hoping by tomorrow I could get back into it. Do you guys break when sick?

Clothing is a great motivator
So, I'll start off my admitting, I'm cheap, yup cheapskate. I have never been a person to buy lots of clothes. I think mostly because I never liked the way my body looked and clothes shopping wasn't fun. I have only bought myself one new pair of jeans in the last 6 months, and I had a 2 coupons which made them about $10.…

Foot Injury and weight training
I hurt my foot somehow about a month ago. I'm not sure what I did, but it hurts on the top back by the ankle and when I stretch my toes up and toward my body. Doing squats is about all I can handle right now on the foot, deadlift and lunges are killing me. I want to give it some time to heal so in the meantime, what I can…

What is it about running?
The weather has been pretty mild here and instead working out in my basement doing various videos like Tae Bo, Walk away the poiunds, and lifting weights, I have been able to get out and hit the pavement. I started my weight loss trek just walking as my main source of exercise and it worked great. But as you get more fit…

Tae Bo
Does anyone still do Tae Bo or was that a fad that went out of style? I bought the Tae Bo set long long time ago, and never got into it. I have been doing the basic video which is 27 minutes long after I do a 2 mile walk away the pounds video. I like it. Feel like I am keeping up with the bodacious bods on the tape and…

I choose not to log my food for Thanksgiving. I was going to enjoy myself to a limit and be mindful. I feel like I did that having small portions of everything I wanted. I went for 2 45 minute 3 mile walks that day. I show a 5 lb gain from the morning of thanksgiving to this morning. Freaked me out. I know since i didnt…

How to start C25K if you already are running?
I decided to look into the C25K program and was interested in starting it. But I have already been in my own kind of running interval type training. I do a 4 mile block and run in spurts. Lately, I have been up to 11 minutes intervals with 1-2 minutes of walking in between. If I wanted to start the C25K program would I…

Egg Beaters question
I have a reaction to eggs when I eat them as scrambled or alone. They give me a bad tummy ache. I can eat eggs as ingredients in other foods and not have a reaction. I miss scrambled eggs though. Does anyone know if egg beaters would cause me the same reaction? I have also been told, most likely it is the yolk that is…

Flabby Arms..what to do?
Would anyone be willing to provide a good arms routine? I know that most of the flab will go away with the weight loss and I have already noticed a difference. The flab I am talking about is on the underside of the arm when you make a muscle with your arm up. I am getting nice definition, tone, and muscle in my upper arm…

How to add calories the good way?
I have been using MFP for a couple weeks using another site prior since July 1. My normal calorie consumption is about 1200 calories a day. Honestly, some days I don't even eat that much. And it isn't because I am neglecting or "dieting". I exercise 3 times a day. Walking in the morning (leslie sansomes 3 mile walk with…
