My poor right leg
OK, so I am doing the C25K program and I was doing it on the treadmill. Since we have had nice weather here lately I've decided to take it outside. I had to restart the program because I realized quickly how much more difficult it is to run outdoors than in a gym on a flat treadmill. I've run outside for 2 days now and I'm…

I finally calculated my TDEE
So, after tons of reading and research and constantly reading on MFP about how 1200 is a devil number I finally went to the scooby website to calculate my TDEE and BMR (I have done this on other sites, I just chose 1200 cal for faster results). So, I figured out my 'special numbers' and this website tells me to eat…

My moment of ridiculousness
So, I am watching a 90's cartoon on Nick with my son Hey Arnold! One of my favorites as a young kid :-) This episode was about how one of the boys (his name is Harold) was being picked on for being fat. Arnold being the problem solver that he is decides that he wants to help Harold after he gets back from a 'weight loss…

I hurt
OK, so I decided that it would be a good idea to do Insanity yesterday so I could do a little extra indulging for the Super Bowl. I haven't done a day of Insanity in quite a while. I'm so incredibly sore that it hurts to sit. Lol. My question is should I wait until tomorrow to try and hit the gym or should I go today and…

Are HRMs REALLY all that important?
So I've been looking into the HUGE assortments of HRMs out there and the different reviews and prices. But is it really that important to have one in the first place? I don't mind spending some money on something that is necessary, but I'm still unsure about the fact that this is a vital piece of equipment to help with my…

possibly a very dumb question...
OK, so I don't know what everyone else has heard/been told but somewhere along the way I have been told this and was wondering how true it is. I was in the gym and a gentleman told me that if you have a larger stomach then you should wait until your closer to your goal weight before you start abdominal exercises. He stated…

Another protein shake question....
OK, so I have read post after post and done quite a bit of research on protein powders. I have decided which I am going with and so far so good. Here's my question though, I've read over and over again about the importance of drinking your protein after you workout. My delimma is that I workout after I get off of work at…

Not so new here
Hi everyone! My name is Jenefer and I've been using MFP app for a while now, I just never knew there was an entire community and a way for all of us to communicate and ask questions. This would have been seriously helpful a few weeks ago. Well, iI guess iI might as well throw my numbers out there for you all. I'm a 23 year…

My poor diet :-(
ok, so when it comes to how I eat I definitely have my good and bad days. The thing is, when its bad its REALLY BAD. If I go over what my calorie intake should be I start with small snacks and before I know it I have had 4-5 large meals that day. I am doing the Insanity program and Im starting week 3 tomorrow, but I just…
