TDEE - What constitutes "strenuous" exercise?
I'm looking at all these TDEE calculators that are out there and I'm curious about what should be considered strenuous exercise. For instance, I exercise around an hour a day, 7 days a week and burn approximately 700 calories on average based on HRM results. Should I consider that strenuous, moderate, light? I sweat…

Business Toiletiquette
If you're like me, you end up going to the bathroom a few times a day at work. It happens and cannot be avoided. I've come to notice a lot absolutely terrible toiletiquette from my co-workers. It's prompted me to start posting signs. I like to put them in the form of a haiku. For instance: Please don't talk to me at the…

Weighing and logging fruit with skin?
I prepare all of my food a day ahead. This includes weighing all my portions and packaging them up to take to work the next day. The challenge I face is when I want to take fruits with me to work but they have a skin (oranges, avocados, clementines, etc.). I can't really weigh them ahead of time because I don't want to…

Having trouble breaking through
The longest distance I've gone so far is a half marathon. My 2014 goal is a full marathon and I've been in training for it since June. I'm at the point now in which I'm supposed to be running around 15 or 16 miles for my weekly long runs. The problem is, I get into this negative head space and peter out long before my…

Sinful discussion
I recently got into an argument with someone about the validity of the phrase "Love the sinner, hate the sin". I truly despise that phrase for several reasons. I'll add that the person with whom I was conversing is a devout Christian Fundamentalist. I am a devout atheist and diametrically opposed to pretty much every one…

Need an Insanity Partner
Hey Everybody, I got no love from Motivation and support, so I'll try this forum. I'm planning on starting Insanity soon and was hoping I might find someone here that would want to join me at the same time.

Nike + Running Help!
I'm having an issue with the NIke+ app. I set up a distance run and begin the run. But it thinks I've met my distance as soon as I've started running. For instance, say I've started my run and I've gone 0.2 miles so far. I'll check in on the app and it will say: "0.2 miles completed, 0.2 miles past your goal, current…

When did you start calling yourself a runner?
I've been running for around 2 years now. I've got 2 half-marathons under my belt (PR 1:56). Several 5Ks (PR 23:54) and I'm signed up for my first full marathon in October. I run at least 10 miles per week when not training. Right now I'm running 15-20 and it keeps going up as I start training. I love to run. But I don't…

What are your 2014 goals?
This was an interesting topic for 2013, so I thought I'd ask for 2014. What are your goals for the new year?

Moobs and Belly
Hey Guys, Looking for strength training plans to help transform the moobs and the belly. I'm hoping to ease into it slowly. One of my pitfalls in attempting weight training is going gung ho too early and fizzling out. Any ideas you might have are welcome.

Longtime user, First time poster.
Hey All, I've been a long time user of MFP but thought I'd send a note out now saying "Hi". See, i'm only 6.6 pounds away from my goal and I'm frankly looking for some encouragement to help get me there. When I do, it will be 40lbs from when I started. In the home stretch now, hoping it will only take me a few more weeks.…
