Fantasy Football Help!
So this is my first time in a FF league, and I miraculously made it to playoffs. There are 2 games left, and if I win my opponent this week (he scored about 190 points last week=absolutely ridiculous), I have a VERY good chance of winning. My question is, I have Pittsburg as my defense. Would I get better points with…

a CONFUSING NSV...please advise?
Although it is a NSV, my story involves a scale. Before i started, I was maintaining my weight at 145 for over a year, eating about 1500-1600 calories.

Nutritionists talks set point theory correct?

I was stuck at the 145#, eating 1500 regardless of exercise. And my nutritionist said maybe this is your set point weight. Since discovering this group, I have not…

Need advice from runners!
Last weekend, I did my first 10K. This weekend (the 22nd) I am doing another 5K that is more fun. Now my question is, will I be able to run a 1/2 marathon in 2 weeks (May 6th)? My friend is doing it and her goal is to get under 3 hours which is 14 min mile. Just didn't know if I was being a bit too ambitious. Thoughts?
