Sometimes I can't seem to catch my second wind...
Its really hard not to feel drained after a long run like that. (8.5km) It's not that it's difficult, it's actually getting a lot easier I just don't know how to catch my second wind. Though sometimes I do get the "runners euphoria" when I've been running for a while. I've heard of this substance (or snack-like packs) with…

32lbs lost! From 182lbs to 151lbs!
I gave birth in April 2013 and had kept the weigh on (plus added a few extra pounds along the way) because I had no idea how EXHAUSTING having a baby would be. No sleep, grab the first and quickest thing you can, and no energy to work out. So in November 2013 the scale hit 182lbs I was shocked! I cried almost every night…

Weird pain in chest

I stopped running at about 4 months pregnant because my joints couldn't take it anymore, and cramps were inevitable everytime I started running. 10 months ago I have birth VIA c-section and lost 24 lbs since than and started running again…

Will coffee jeopordize my weight loss
ok so this might sounds like s stupid question because as you can all see I've lost 20lbs so far and that is without ever cutting out coffee. But it becomes harder to lost weight as you get smaller and I'm pretty sure I only have 10-20lbs more to lose until it becomes unhealthy so I guess I was wondering... to lose those…

MFP Putt me at 1200 Cal!!! Too low?
So I used to have 1460 cals a day but because I changed my physical activity from 5 days a week to 1 it reduced me drastically to meet my weight loss goal. It seems a little low to me but at the same time I'm eating healthy and not working anymore (temporarily). Not sure what to do at this point. Is 1200 cals a day safe?

The hormones make you hungrier or something?? I need help. I'm so close to going to the store and getting myself a cart of crappy filled foods!!! hahaha

People who weigh their foods--question
I know eating an amount of protein, carbs, and grains is a perfect meal every time but how much of that chicken,fish, or steak? How much of those brocolies, carrots, or sweet potatoes? How much of rice, bread, or pasta? I've recently moved and found my old food scale and its still works! I would love to start using it and…

Question about this application
So ever since I've lost weight, this app has increased my calorie intake daily. When I was 14lbs heavier I was only allowed 1240 calories a day and when I marked my progression at 14lbs lighter, it putt my daily calorie intake at 1460 so I guess you could say I'm confused... Could someone explain to me why that is? Thank…
