(Edited) Oh well ...
Due to the MFP offensive management committee - one motivational story is offensive to others because it doesn't fit the profile of what is the correct spirit of an individual. I should have run my own feelings by the committee first to see if they were valid. - Management

Frustrated but Motivated
After losing nearly 50lbs, I feel off the wagon, stopped running, and ate like I was still doing so. It's been 2 years now and I really need to get back on track here ... I've had many false starts but feel that I'll come back to where it all started when I started MFP for the first time. I've learned lessons during my…

Forks over Knives - Pondering Vegan?
OK, I'm not one to be an alarmist, and I'm still not going to be, but I have to say the movie "Forks over Knives" really brought up some interesting things for me to ponder. I'm considering moving more towards a vegan diet (and frankly I've had periods of such and felt great), but was just curious if any of you have seen…

HIIT Question ... Runner Question too?
I plan to start (soon or at least in September) to do some interval training on my runs ... I know one of the bigger advantages I hear to HIIT is the post exercise burn (raised metabolism over the next several hours) ... (and for me, still needing to lose some more, is frankly more appealing to me than speed) ... though…

Logging for Life
Just thought I'd share some thoughts ... I used to think that MFP would be something temporary, something to get me to my goal and then I would be fine and done. I however realized about a year ago that food will always be a battle with me. I'm on the winning side of the battle now, but "for me" it's something that while…

What's up with that?
I think all the hair that I lost on the back of my head found its way to my eyebrows ... what's up with that? Never thought I'd be trimming my eyebrows today! Maybe it's all the running I'm doing ... "that'll put hair on your ... eyebrows?" Hmm ... oh well ...

Tips/Recommendations: Basic Strength Training Plans?
OK, a couple years ago the most I did was walk to get the remote (unless my kids got it for me) ... but in the last 2 years I learned not to let food control me, as well as finding something I liked ... running. I now have some running goals, but being closer to my weight I "finally" am getting the bug to do some strength…

Calling Runners in UK & Germany!
OK, this is a long shot, but I'm going to be in Germany (Cologne Area) and the UK (Dunton Area) on January 28th and 29th respectively. I would love to run a 5k while I was there, what a blast that would be! However I have no idea what resources, websites, contacts, etc. to sign up for a short race ... any tips??

Running With Weights???
If I run with weights, am I burning more calories, or do I still simply go by my HR? Does it just peak my HR quicker so I can run slower and burn the same, or am I actually burning more calories? Or simply does it give me more of an upper body workout while I run ... My wife got a pair of 5lb weights and I thought, what…

My NSV ... my resting HR :)
OK, this may sound stupid but ... I never exercised until a year ago when I started running ... it's the first and only thing I found that I actually enjoy, and if you don't enjoy something, you're going to struggle to keep up with it. I'm not a gym person, and while I think it's great for others, I don't ever intend of…

Food Info Resources for ADA (or Gestational Diabetes)
Well, my wife is 33 weeks and now going through gestational diabetes. We (she) has a counseling appoint with a dietitian so I'm sure we'll get great resources there too. However, she's always been borderline with her sugars and this is something I'm sure we're going to have to just watch in general from here on out (even…
