How do you lose weight in your neck??? :D
Help! I have gone from 192 to between 155-159, and am down 7" in my waist, and over 15" everywhere total. No matter HOW much running, watching what I eat, or otherwise losing weight... the one place that has not budged even 1/4 of an inch is my neck. I look like I am smuggling small hamsters under my neck skin. Really, I…

insomnia?
So... I have lost 36 lbs on MFP since about January. I am training for a half marathon next month, and a marathon in March/April. I like to consider myself a very stubborn and very determined lady, and once I put my mind to something, I accomplish it..... until.... I am a teacher, and I am totally gung-ho all about fitness…

exercise challenge group?
I am looking for an exercise challenge group! I have heard that there are groups out there that send you a new exercise to accomplish every day for a month or so... something you can do just about anywhere (no need for free weights or any expensive equipment), and something that challenges you to try new things (run a mile…

Weight loss on vacation???
I am at my halfway mark in my weight loss - 25 down, 25 to go- YAY! I am the thinnest I have been in 10 years- YAY! To celebrate my 40th bday, I am going to Maui for 8 days (can I get a "woot woot"?) So.... why am I nervous and worried? I am not sure how to lose weight while on vacation. I am staying in a condo on the…

Running Shoes?
I am looking to buy a good pair of women's running shoes. I am about 3/4 thru training for a 10k in August, and have registered for a half marathon in October. I am a "heel striker", so I would like something with cushioning in the heel. Any advice?? What are the best running shoes you have ever used???

Running my first 5k on Sunday
I am an anti-runner.... who decided to try Couch-2-10k phone app. Now, I just finished week 7, and running 4 minutes and then walking 2 minutes for about 68 minutes (4+ miles). I have been doing this using my iPhone app, and a treadmill at the gym. And I have to say, begrudgingly, I kind of like it :D So... I signed up for…

TOM weight loss ideas??
I am in a weight loss challenge, and have to weigh in on Sundays. I have "started" today, and already gained 3 pounds. I hear from some people to drink extra water, but then from others (athletes, wrestlers) to absolutely avoid water. I hear from some to eat mostly fruits and veggies, and others say to eat protein. I am so…

Weighing shifts seem to be crazy!!??
I am absolutely loving this site, so hope someone out there can give me a bit of wisdom. I weigh in once a week, and am in a little friendly competition :) I weigh in on Sunday mornings from home (as long as we weigh in by noon, we are okay). Funny thing is, if I weigh myself at 5:30 am I weigh more than if I weigh at 7am,…

weight loss, but not inches
I have lost 14 pounds with the help of MFP and cardio exercises. I haven't, however, lost a single inch in my waist, arms, chest, or legs. This seems almost weird to me....?? Am I doing something wrong? Is cardio enough, or should I be lifting weights too? A friend tells me it will start to come off soon.... but this is a…

trying again!
Hello all. I have been using this site/app for the last 2 months, and haven't lost a pound. Granted, I have not been exercising, which I have changed this week. I began using the iPhone app "Couch to 10k" this week, and love it. I hope both of these can help me lose my 30 lbs by July. I am confused about the calories....…
