Brand New to IIFYM
Hi all, My name is Layla. I've been on a rollercoaster of a weight-loss and fitness journey for a while, and I'm hoping to get back on the wagon starting right now. I just found and read about IIFYM. Having used EM2WL macros in the past, and seeing pretty similar outcomes in the calculators, I thought I'd give this a shot…

New Shoes!
I got an actual fitting for a new pair of running shoes today, and I tell you, there's an immense difference even just walking around. I'm highly impressed. I got a half size larger than usual, much more cushioning than the last pair I bought, and a good amount of space for my toes which had formerly been pinching a bit.…

Team Maggie
Hey all you Maggies - just wanted to create a thread for our girl and our sub-group! She's always been a favorite, and it was SO good to see her up and rarin' to go this week. Feel free to discuss the character, the challenge, and post questions about our role as members of her team. Or just awesome pics of her.

RUNNERS: RunKeeper or MapMyRun?
Hi all, I have just recently gotten into "really" running - that is, more than the first few weeks of C25K and I've done two 5K races with slow, but reasonable times - and I use my Fitbit to keep track of steps and general activity. I've been really wanting something more in-depth to track with, though, and downloaded…

The W3 Difference
Hi all, I'm a re-newbie, as in, I started C25K last year and gave it up. I started again three weeks ago, and I'm now--you guessed it--on W3. I did D1 on Wednesday and found myself about dying to get through the 3 minute jogging segments (and I feel pretty pathetic about it...) Do you have any suggestions? Should I redo…

Any Tributes?
Two users have set up a Hunger Games Challenge for the summer, and it starts on the 12th. We need more members in District 3 (we're the Electronics people, you know!), and a few other Districts could use more players as well. If you're interested, please join us at…

Does anyone use a Fitbit?
Hi everyone, I got a Fitbit Flex a couple of weeks ago and so far really enjoy having it. However, its calorie requirements (it calculates based on daily activity and BMR) never sync up with MFP, and I needed to ask: has anyone worked this out? I've enabled negative calorie adjustments in my diary and the Fitbit is set to…

W1...
Hey all, I had "wanted" to start C25K a couple of weeks ago, and kept finding reasons not to. I finally did last Friday and just did W1D2 today. Having just gotten started, and reading some of the posts here, I have some questions I'm hoping you guys can answer! First, even though I finished D2 today, I feel like I cheated…

Being Awesome
Let's face it: everyone who signed up for an account here is awesome. We all might struggle, we all might have our down-and-out days, and some of us give up completely. I deleted my last account and started this one up because I needed to change something, needed to break routine, and needed to redefine my goals. I'm…

Runtastic?
Is anyone here using Runtastic to autotrack for MFP? I just downloaded it to try this evening. Does it interfere with the C25K app? Thanks!

Not new, but back.
Hello Sweeties, I just (re-)signed up for MFP after a hiatus. New identity, new me, all that. Last weekend I did my first ever fun 5K (The Color Run) and was totally winded partway through, but had a lot of fun doing it... and that prompted me to get the C25K app... and new shoes for running/walking... and to sign up here…
