Anyone here planning to do the Color Me Rad 5k in Chattanooga in March?
I have been using MFP off and on (currently ON) for a couple years now. It's definitely a LIFE changer for sure. I'm currently training for a 5k and looking for others who may be participating. Let me know if anyone in GA/TN/AL that is close to Chatt would be interested in joining, and I'll send you more information. I did…

Hey y'all! Anyone interested in maybe joining my challenge?
I got a random idea earlier and was hoping to get opinions on it. I would LOVE to be in shape and ready for the beach come summertime. I don't want to call it my "New Year's Resolution," because it seems no one ever sticks to those. It's just my goal. A little about me... I joined MFP about 2 years ago after falling down…

Difficulty finding the energy to exercise like I used to
I recently obtained a job in my career field and since taking over the position I am completely exhausted by the end of the day, and find it difficult to find the drive and energy to walk and exercise like I was previously. Any vitamins or supplements anyone could suggest for me to get that will give me more energy?…

In your opinion, what's the best way to prepare for a 5k?
I feel like the obvious answer here is run, run, run, but I'm just curious as to how others prepared beforehand. I walk/hike 3-5 miles daily, but I'm just curious as to the best way to build myself up to actually running all of the 5k. Should I start out running as much as possible, then walk until I'm rested, and begin…

Advice for someone that knows absolutely nothing about yoga!
I walk several miles several times a week and that has helped me to get in pretty decent shape but so many people talk about yoga and how amazing it is, and I'd like to give it a try! What do you guys suggest? Any websites I should check out or YouTube videos you suggest? I would REALLY like to try it out. Thanks y'all!

Possible knee injury from 30DS. Suggestions?
Last night while doing the side lunges (at least I think that is what they're called) and arm raises with the hand weights, I felt a slight pull behind my left knee on the left side of my knee. It didn't hurt really, but it just didn't feel right. I was very careful not to extend my knee passed my foot so I don't really…

Tips for a flat stomach?
I need advice! What is the most effective method to losing fat around your midsection? I've been told several different things. Some say to do specific ab exercises, eat certain foods, do strength training, do lots of cardio, and/or a combination of all of those. I just don't know which is the best way to go about it. I…

Hey y'all! Looking for more friends!
I haven't been on the forums in a while and thought I would post tonight. I joined MFP over a year ago, but did not start logging daily until this past October. In the four months I have been actively using MFP I have had great results! I try to walk/jog 3-4 miles at least 5 days a week, also. I am READY to be back in the…

Help! Is it possible to lose 40 lbs in 7 weeks?
I was just informed by my boyfriend that we are going to the beach in April (approximately 3 months earlier than I expected!) Anyway, I was hoping to be at (or near) my weight loss goal by July, but I know it will never healthily happen by April. If I could lose another 40 lbs by April I would be within 20 lbs of my…

Hello everyone! Been here a month and already losing!! =)
I just thought I would type up a quick post and introduce myself and tell you guys a little about my journey over the last month. First of all, I'm 25-years-old and an ex-athlete who was used to being in shape (though the past 3 years I have not been!). I joined My Fitness Pal a long, long time ago, but I could never get…

Georgia girl looking for MFP friends!
Hey everyone! I'm looking for friends who I can help to encourage on their journey here and who can also help to encourage me. In high school I was very athletic and in shape, but now 6 years later I have quite a few stubborn pounds I just can't seem to get rid of! Today is my 25th birthday and as a goal for myself I hope…

A Little About Myself (From Georgia)
Hello everyone! Although I joined My Fitness Pal almost 2-years-ago, I got out of the hang of using it. It's my goal to log in EVERY day and really make an effort to stick with it this time. (The MFP app is a life-saver!) So, here's a little about me: I'm 24-years-old and recently graduated college with my degree in Early…

Just me!
Hi everyone! My name is Paula and I suppose I'll introduce myself! I'm 23-years-old, a full-time college student, a full-time baby sitter (to my gorgeous 9 month old niece), and that pretty much sums my life up at this point. I'm a HUGE family person and I have an amazing boyfriend. I love meeting new people and I hope…
