Hi all! Age 25, Height 1.70m, Weight 60.7kg. So I'm currently in the middle of training for my first half-marathon in May, following a training program.

Side Effects from Green Tea?
So over the past week I've started having one green tea a day, after having countless people tell me how good it is for you. I've been really enjoying it, since I never normally drink tea it's nice to have a warming drink. I should say here that I don't generally have anything containing significant amounts of caffine -…

Maintainence
Hey everyone! So this morning, after 3 months of following through on this lifestyle change, I hit my goal weight. So exciting and looking forward to starting eating at maintainence level soon. However, I have no idea how to start! Hoping people might have some tips for someone transitioning into maintainence and give me…

Changing Taste Buds?
So it's Good Friday here and I just had 2 chocolate hot cross buns for breakfast, like I do every year. As I was eating them, I was struck by a weird, completely unfamiliar thought. They tasted too sweet. Bear in mind, before I started on MFP, I was a chocoholic. Like, eating a family block in one sitting 4-5 times a week…

For all the people who believe walking isn't exercise...
Hi everyone! I am a 23 year old woman with a BMI of 19.9. Due to a long-standing history of knee problems, I have been told I should not engage in high impact exercise i.e. most gym classes, and running. As such, for the past 5 years or so I have exercised and maintained my fitness via walking, and have not been for a run…

Good heart rate monitors?
So thinking about buying a heartrate monitor but have no idea at all where to start. What heartrate monitors do you guys have? How do they work? What are the good/bad things about the one you have? I'm looking ideally for one that can tell me how many calories I've burnt and goes round my wrist - though I'm open to chest…

Should I up my calories when I'm sick?
As I'm already a relatively low weight, MFP has me on 1240 calories per day. I always eat back my exercise calories, but generally try not to go too far over my calorie goal. So I woke up this morning with a nasty mumma of a cold, and honestly feel like death warmed up. My question is: would you up your calorie intake?…

Fruit, Veggies... and Sugar
So I'm having a problem. I keep going over my daily sugar goals... from eating fruit and veggies. It's a pain in the *kitten*, and I'm not entirely sure what I can do about it. I honestly don't feel like cutting out fruits and veggies is the answer, or that it will benefit my health in the long run. Surely the vitamins,…

I totally see how this get addictive...
So I downloaded this ap yonks ago, thought 'That's a cute idea', and never looked at it again. However in an effort to tone up for my engagement party (read, lose the 5kg that has crept on over the course of my Masters), I opened it up a week ago and started logging. And I love it. It's gratifying to know exactly what I'm…
