March Events in Minneapolis
Hi All, I am trying to participate in one organized fitness event each month. For example, I just participated in a stair climb event for February. I am having a bit of trouble finding an event for March. I am only able to participate in something the first, second or fourth weekends in March. It is too early in the season…

Nordic/x-country skiing
Hello All, So, in Minnesota, it is getting to be that time of year where it just isn't as easy to be excited about lacing up the Asics and hitting the trails. It still must be done, but soon the snow will be here. I am very happy with my progress this year and refuse to lose my momentum through the winter and the holidays.…

iPod and Treadmill User Error
So, I have been at the healthy lifestyle thing for a while now. Since I started, I have added new exercises to my routine. Most recently for the C25K training, I have begun using the treadmill. And because it is always good to laugh at yourself, today I nearly fell off the treadmill at the gym. Long story short, I was…

Hello All
Just wanted to throw my hat into the ring as a new member. I am 3 weeks in and loving it. My name is Quinn. I put on a bunch of weight young and to be honest, I don't really know what it feels like to be fit. But I will over the next few months/year! With the addition of MFP, I finally feel like I have the tools to reach…

Restaurant Calorie Count
Hello All! I hope everyone is doing well! Just wanted to share, one of the most frustrating things for me about counting calories is going out to eat with friends. It isn't because of the food, its because I don't know how much it will cost! (in calories that is) In my opinion this info should be far more accessible than…

Subway - Cheese = Still Awesome Sandwich
Hey all, Just wanted to post a quick note. I had a sub from subway today (love that place) and tried it without the cheese. Long story short, sandwich was still great! Couldn't tell I didn't have the cheese and saved 100+ cals and a bunch of sodium. Thought I would share. Keep up the great work everyone!
