4 month long plateau has been BROKEN!! OH YEAH!!!
That's right!!! It was four, very long, very emotional months of NO WEIGHT LOSS. BUT NOW IT'S OVER!!! My last recorded loss was the very beginning of November. I was sticking to my calories, even through the holidays (I didn't gain!!!). I was continuing my normal work outs - training for my upcoming spring half marathons…

How long was your longest plateau?
I'm at 2 and 1/2 months of no movement on the scale and minuscule changes in measurements. How long was your longest plateau? Hoping to see some light at the end of this very long, dark tunnel, lol.

Carb loading question.
My focus is generally on calorie counting while being mindful of my carb intake - making sure I have enough, NOT cutting :happy: - to support the distance I plan to run. I'm running a half on Saturday so I'm in a taper :sad: and on top of that, I'll be starting my carb loading on Wednesday. I'm having a really tough time…

Galloway running or other training programs.
So after completing the Couch to 5k program, I was looking for another training program. I've done a few 5k's (I have 2 coming up this month and one next month) and want to increase my time and endurance. A friend who does half marathons and is doing the ING NYC marathon this November turned me on to the Galloway method. I…

What's your 'Selfish Reason'?
We're all here ultimately for the same reason - to get fit and healthy - and we all have our altruistic motivations for doing it (to be around for our children and spouses, etc., etc.). But what's your 'selfish' reason for wanting it? Want to look good at a reunion? Get back at a cheating ex? Women, wear a bikini, and…

Need running/30DS scheduling advice!!!
For those of you who are runners and have also done 30DS, what did your schedule look like? I'm looking for the best way to incorporate 30DS while still running. I typically run every other day, but I know 30DS will make me stronger and make my running better, so should I run less and focus on the 30DS? It's important to…

Excessive exercise question.
Next week, my husband and I are going on our honeymoon. We'll be skiing for 3 days in a row, for about 6-7 hours a day. We generally eat a big/high protein breakfast, no lunch, and an earlier dinner. My daily calorie goal is 1700, with an active exercise routine (doing C25k), and not eating back calories burned. So here's…

Yesterday's NSV (Warning, food porn ahead!)
Yesterday was some catholic feast day, and my mother (who is very catholic) dropped these bad boys off at my house. They are each about the size of my entire hand, fingers included. 2 had boston cream, 2 had cannoli cream. The smell was enough to make me drool. So you know what I did? Said no thanks, and gave the whole box…

How much over/under your net is acceptable?
So in copying yesterday's breakfast to today, I realized I forgot to add something. So I added in yesterday's diary and bumped me over my calorie goal by 32 calories. So it got me thinking... How much over or under your net do you consider acceptable? 50 calories? 100 calories? And I'm referring to a once-in-a-while…

TDEE/BMR help.
I could use a little guidance as to what my calorie intake should be. My work is sedentary as I work a desk job, however I'm actively exercising 5-6 days per week by mostly running - yay, C25K!!! I'd ideally like to lose 2 lbs per week. So here's my confusion: On MFP, using lightly active, my net calories are 1310. On MFP,…

Need suggestions on knee supports for running/skiing
I could use some suggestions on what some of you runners/skiers use/like for knee supports. I don't necessarily have bad knees, and I'd like to keep them that way, lol.
