Run Run Run!
So, I have a half in October (my 3rd) and despite 2 hefty injuries this winter/spring I am hoping to PR :) Anyone else running a big race in the fall, and do you have a goal in mind? EXCITING! ...I am running the CLE RocknRoll half and want to hit 1:55 :)

Scary Sodium
Hey guys, I need to eat some more cals, but my sodium is already on the high end. Other than (home/personal) baked chicken, etc. what other low sodium snacks do you suggest? (PS: I have already eaten nuts and nut butter today). Thanks! :)

Over Obsession
Hey guys, I do not post too much, and have never done a post like this, and I hope it does not come off as too whiny, etc. (And, well, if it does, I apologize!!) I obsess, too much, over weight, food, exercise, etc. I want/have about 10 lbs. to lose and it has been very difficult to get those off. I work out hard, doing…

Rest Day
Hey guys, I understand that taking a rest day or two per week is important. But, just to broaden my knowledge...why do YOU think taking a "full rest day" is crucial? And, what do you think it does to help boost your health/fitness? Excited to hear different thoughts on this, thanks :)

Sweet Potato!
(Tried this in another topic, but not very popular) Hey! Quick post.... I weigh my sweet potatoes (I eat one about everyday, can't get enough). But, all of the calorie posts in MFP come up a little or a lot different...I noticed this after some research about which one to use for my calorie inputting. What numbers do you…

1000 calorie burn
Hey guys! Just out of curiosity... When you burn 1000+ calories in one day (on top of normal activities) how many calories do you consume? I am not saying go get 3 cheeseburgers, I am just wondering how many more cals do you put into your body... For example: My daily goal is 1750. I burned about 1100-1200 calories from…

Injured and impatient
Hi guys! This is going to be a bit all over the place, I am sorry. I run, but I broke my foot on the ice this past winter. I got the boot off last month. I ran 1.5 weeks later. I ran too far too fast and tore a ligament in my knee. I did squats a week later. My knee is tight and buckling a lot (I haven't gone to the doc…

BMI
At my smallest my BMI was healthy- but I was not eating quite enough. Currently, after an unwanted weight gain, I am aiming to lose 10+ pounds (more like 13, haha) ...but even then my BMI will barely be "healthy." I know that number is not everything and so many factors should be taken into consideration. I do lift often,…

Calories Before Dinner
Another question, mostly out of curiosity, but also to get a general guideline of what some healthy people out there are doing :) About how many calories do you consume before dinner? (IE: what is your calorie total minus dinner)... Thank you! (PS: I know several factors can play into this, like exercise, scheduling, etc.)

Breakfast Sugar
Good Morning! Just for the heck of it, how much sugar (in grams) do you guys think is appropriate to have at breakfast? I understand that fruit can contain a little more than "normal" foods but I just wanted to get a general idea. Thanks!

Counting/measuring food
Hi! I lost a significant amount of weight over a year ago. My discipline slacked in the last few months (I also was not eating enough while I was losing the initial weight) and I have gained 15 lbs. I got really tired of counting calories and measuring EVERYTHING. Can anyone offer advice on how to overcome this...other…
