Scale barely moving? Keep going!
Hi MFP friends, I weighed in at 220 in January 2013. So shocking to see the scale on a number you never imagined you'd see. With everything I had been going through in that season of my life though, I wasn't surprised at how I let go of my responsibility to take care of my body. My health began to get worse as well. So, I…

How can I take care of my knees?
Hello experienced runners! I am on week 2 of C25K (and loving it!) I have scar tissue in my right knee from when I tore my patella tendon years ago.

Blending Juicing Recipes
I found a book with some great juicing recipes, the only problem is I don't have a juicer. We have a Ninja and a blender. I know the drink will be thicker, but would those recipes still work if I did them that way?

Breathing Trouble...anaphylaxis?
Lately I have had trouble breathing. I have been stressed with graduation approaching so I thought that maybe the stress was just heightening my asthma. Sometimes it will wake me up in the night, or I will be unable to fall asleep. Sometimes I notice I am taking really deep breaths during the day and feel like I still am…
