Running in High Humidity
Question for the runners – Do any of you find that you run faster in higher humidity? Every time I run in intense humidity, I feel like I’m dragging the whole time, yet my times are markedly faster than when the weather’s nice. I’m not complaining about the speed, but curious as to why this might be.

Which food measurement to use?
I've noticed that several of the food packages in my house list serving sizes in both weight (g or oz) and a number of pieces (6 slices of ham or 24 crackers). However, I've found several occasions where these two measurements don't equal each other. For example, the deli meat I used to buy listed a serving as 6 slices,…

Turbo Jam... Ugh!
Has anyone else tried Turbo Jam and found themselves to be completely incapable of keeping up with Chalene Johnson? I'm not talking about the usual problems that one might have when trying a new dance-style cardio workout... I mean, I look like a complete and total klutz! I can do the basic moves, but when she starts…

Camelbak
Now that I've taken up running, I'd like to buy a Camelbak, rather than carrying a water bottle or not having water at all. I didn't realize there were so many models of Camelbaks out there! Any recommendations on which one to buy?

NSV from the closet!
I've been kind of down lately because I haven't lost anything in the past week or so. I know it's because I'm retaining water for various reasons, but it still bugs me to not see the numbers go anywhere, or a little in the wrong direction. However, this morning I was able to wear a pair of pants that haven't fit me in…

Not hurting after workouts - Should I be concerned?
I know this probably sounds weird, but I'm concerned because I'm not feeling a lot of pain after working out, and I'm wondering if that means I'm not working out correctly or intensely enough. A little background, I've never been an avid exerciser. Since I gained weight, my activity level was very minimal when it came to…
