The GREATEST thing since sliced bread.. like, for real.
So to start, I am in no way being rewarded or reimbursed for writing this (although that would be cool). I am just your typical, skeptical consumer, daily Amazon browser, overweight desk worker.. I could go on, but I won't. Anyway, I purchased a Desk Cycle on Amazon last week. I have used it for a couple of days now and I…

NSV: Cupcake = Win
Lets start at last Saturday.. I brought my girls to a friend's birthday party and there was extra cake. I chose not to have any even though I accidently skipped breakfast and was starving. Well I have now been craving cake for 3 days. I planned my meals for work today and still had quite a few calories to spare so I…

Picky Vegan?
I have been researching the benefits of going vegan.. i cut out dairy months ago and never looked back. I am nervous to go vegan, only because I am a pretty picky eater. I only like cooking with simple ingredients. If a recipe calls for lots of ingredients, i would probably overlook it and find something else. So my…

Help with a weight training plan?
I have been running for years (on and off) and feel like I am in a good place there, but I have recently thought I should take on some weight training (another valuable piece of advice thanks to my MFP peeps:)) My question is: How do I go about making a plan to do this so I don't walk into that side of the gym and not know…

Not losing, help!
So I have lost over 30 lbs here, and was doing great! I have not changed my habits at all in the last month, but I am not seeing a move on the scale? If anything I have kicked my workout up a notch and really kept an eye on my food intake. I am between 1200-1600 calories a day and running 2-3 miles every 2-3 days. My…

Cheat day = Loss?
So the scale has not moved much in the last 2-3 weeks despite my continuos running and eating well... I am staying under my 1750 calories (I actually increased because i thought that would help my last plateau) and running 2-3 miles every other day. A couple days ago I had a weak moment where I went out to eat and ate 5…

Light headed after running?
I have been running 1-3 miles at a time for a few weeks now.. After my longer runs, (3 miles) on the treadmill, I walk for 2 minutes to cool down then head to the gym shower. I find myself having to crouch down to the floor to not pass out. I am sure it's low blood pressure? I just don't know what I can do about it? I have…

5K today!
So I am going to be honest, I want to boast a bit about an accomplishment! I am 26, female, 5'6" and 276 lbs and an on/off runner. I have been running on the treadmill (which I HATE btw). And by running i mean jogging for 5 min at a 4.0 pace and walking for a minute or two in between. Well today I got to run outside since…
