Anyone looking to lose weight and be the lightest they've ever been?
Hey guys, I'm looking to lose about 20-25 lbs., and if I reach that goal, I'll be the lightest and in best shape I've ever been in my life. I'm currently at 167 lbs. and looking to be around 140-145. I have no idea how good I'll look or how I'll feel, which kind of freaks me out... Wanted to see what your guys' goals were,…

Anybody else going through a breakup?
Hey guys, I have been off the wagon for a few months (more like 8 months! Yikes) and have gained about 10 lbs. since being on here last. Having said that, I've been distracted by my relationship, which recently ended in quite a dramatic way. I want to start feeling better about myself, and I am thinking about going to…

Hey guys, I've been running since the end of March, and have found that if I have a huge meal (500-600 calories), then wait an hour, I have SO MUCH energy for my run.

I haven't initiated any contact either (I understand men like to pursue). I don't want to waste my time on someone who is not interested in me, but he did seem…

I would love to incorporate some strength training into my routine, but not sure what I would need to do and how often I should do it. Running 4xweek is okay for the…

Jelly Legs
Hey guys, I've been jogging for roughly a month now, I go every other day. Today I ran for something like 12 minutes and my legs just started feeling like jelly, they felt so weak! I always stretch before I go for a jog and I figure after a month, my legs would have gotten used to the jogs by now? What should I do to…

What keeps you motivated?
Sometimes it's something positive, like wanting to be a better role model for your kids, for example. For me, it's a number of things. The number one thing being that I absolutely hate how my thighs touch and look in the mirror. I'll remind myself that if I don't want my thighs looking so thick, I gotta work for it. That's…

Diet question
Hey fellow MFPs, Recently started jogging not too long ago (started on March 24th, been gradually building up a 4km run 4-5 times a week). Having never been able to run that far/long, wanted to know any of your experiences with your diet. Been drinking 2L water a day, trying to stay away from carbs and sugar, and really…
