I've lost 43 lbs since February.. This is the second time I've lost weight.. the first time was a few years ago, I lost 30 lbs and gained back like 50.

cold hands when jogging
Does anyone know why my hands get cold when I jog? It's not weather related, because I'm inside on my treadmill.

Jogging before work/school?
Any tips on how to run before class if u don't have time to shower? Gross, I know, but I have an hour and half between classes 2 days a week and I would love to utilize that time without being the stinky kid in class. Thanks. :-)

Read this if you own a Polar FT4
I'm looking for opinions on this particular model. My main use is going to be to track calories burned during exercise. I know it can't be completely accurate, but I hear this is one of the most accurate ones. I'm not interested in the FT7, because it's basically the same but with the added computer linking, which I don't…

Why you should weigh yourself daily
I know not everyone will agree with this, but I had to post it, because it totally reinforces my daily weighing habits! and shows why it's not a bad thing.. I def don't obsess if it shows a gain of a few pounds, because one of the benefits of daily weighing is knowing your body. I know that my weight fluctuates through the…

Anyone from western MD? or nearby PA/WV?
I'm from western MD but only a few miles from WV and PA. Anyone else from the tristate area? It would be cool to talk to some local MFPer's.

this. is. AWESOME.
I found a website that lets you search for images of real women based on their height, weight, and body type (apple, pear, etc). So, for someone like me who has never been thin, you can get an idea what you will look like as you lose weight. This was a treasure to find right now, because I was getting discouraged. My…

Heard of somatotypes? More specific than apple, pear, or hou
I just came across this info today during a bored, random internet browsing.. thought I'd share. It actually motivated me quite a bit, because I found out I'm a mesomorph, which means I am naturally muscular and lose weight and gain muscle easily if i set my mind to it. I never saw it that way, but it's true. I can lose…

Love C25K, HATE 30 Day Shred
I've decided NOT to finish the 30 Day Shred. That doesn't make me a quitter. It makes me realistic. I have found 2 intense exercises that I LOVE (jogging and tennis) so there is no reason to keep doing something that I absolutely hate. I'm looking for ideas on new things to do when I am in between jogging days and can't…

How to keep shins from burning while jogging
I had a problem with my shins burning while jogging and finally figured out it was because I had poor form. I was browsing the forums and I saw literally dozens of people with the same problem and instead of replying to them individually, I thought I'd just post it up. Not trying to sound like a know it all, because I'm…

I feel so sick after exercise. HELP!
Every time I do a work out that is just beyond my comfort zone I get sick to my stomach. It only happens when I do something that I reeeeeally have to force myself to finish.. like the 30 day shred (I've only done it 4 times). If I stay right at my comfort level, for example, 3 or 4 mph on the treadmill.. I can go as long…

I'm a night eater!
I've struggled with the night time munchies my entire life. If I try to eat a normal breakfast, lunch, and dinner I end up going over my calories. I've tried eating smaller meals more often and that doesn't work for me either. So far I've only had success with my current way of eating, which is to eat a small breakfast..…

looking for new MFP friends
So, I've been using MFP since February. So far I've lost about 15 lbs. My best friend is on here and she is awesome at supporting me, but I think I'd like to start talking to some other people. It would be helpful to share tips and encouragement. I'm 26 years old, from Cumberland, MD. I am a single mother of a fantastic 7…

zig zagging calories
This is my vacation week. I don't have school or anything else really important to do. So, I have been spending as much time as possible with family and friends. I still exercised, but I allowed myself to eat up to my maintenance calories all week, instead of my weight loss calorie amount. I didn't gain or lose. Tomorrow,…
