first time running 5 miles
I made a new record today! In the 2 years I've been running I finally made it to 5 miles. I've always wondered why I could never get past 3 and after watching my new HRM during this run, I think I may have been pushing myself too hard and wearing out quickly. I was able to keep it right at 160 bpm (no idea if that is good,…

30 day shred
Just started level 3 of this workout and man, I really hate Jillian right now. Not really, but how can this level be burning the same calories as the other ones? It's so intense!

Leslie Sansone: how many calories burned?
I'm never sure how to log the walk slim dvd for calorie burn. It's 4 miles, with boosted walking and using the firm band. There are definite high impact aerobics in there too. For now I've just been putting under general aerobics because it's so much more than walking 4 miles outdoors. For one thing, it's faster than you…

Pics vs the evil scale
Ok, so I went and found some pics after I posted that last frustrating post about the scale, etc. Proof is in the pics, I suppose. These are a couple images from a couple years ago. The one on the left is 3 yrs ago. The one on the right is 2 years ago. and a few months ago: and here's one from today: I guess it's been such…

muscle weight
I've been doing mfp for over 2 months and I know everyone loses differently. I rarely go over my calories, I workout 5 times a week for at least 40 minutes, mixing cardio one day and pilates or yoga the next. I am not losing a pound a week. I know there's no guarantee of this, but I'm just so unsure what's going on. If I'm…

Have to stop running, advice please
Due to either my fibromyalgia or needing new shoes or both, the pain in my legs has made it necessary to stop running for awhile, maybe forever. While I am very sad about that, I need to find something I like to do for now. I do like biking, but do that every other day. I wondered if anyone knew the benefits of walking…

tingling legs and feet while running
Are there any runners out there that have experienced a tingling sensation after running for awhile? I am just now getting to around 3 miles and I've noticed that my legs and feet are starting to go numb a little when I've been running for more than 30 minutes. As soon as I stop to do my cool down and walk for a few…

any other runners with fibromyalgia?
i am dying to run but my legs still hurt so freakin' bad. That is probably the worst, wanting to run, but having to wait. And biking is out because of the high winds today. UGH! So I have only recently been diagnosed with this condition and I am concerned about the fronts and insides of my legs (calf muscles) feeling so…

water vs sugar free drink mix
ok, so I know i need to drink the water, but there are some days when I just can't do it. I have some of that Great Value sugar free drink mix (5 calories a serving) and really what is the thought on counting that as water? It's mostly water...

the scale is annoying
I was annoyed to find that I went another week without losing any lbs, when I was staying well under my calories, working out almost every day, and eating lean. And then I found my tape measure (finally!) and found that I had trimmed down an inch everywhere. I don't know if that's a lot, but it makes me feel a whole heck…

Ladies! pms help with dieting
Ladies, I am fast approaching that horrible week of the month where I want to eat everything in sight. In fact, I can already feel it today. I had coffee and 3 eggs for breakfast and am still starving. I really don't want to lose all the progress I've made. I've done MFP for 10 days and have stayed under my calorie limit…

exceeding recommended protein count
Hi! I am fairly new to mfp and am still figuring this all out. I've never counted calories before and I noticed on the breakdowns with carbs, fats and proteins that almost daily I am going over on protein. I am not using many of my carbs and rarely exceed fats. I am also staying well under my calorie limit for the day. Is…

ran longer than ever today
just popping in to say I ran past my previous record of 2 miles and did 2.4. It may not seem like much to many of you pro runners, but it's alot for me since I have fibromyalgia and people keep telling me that maybe I should stick to something more low impact. I love to prove people wrong and I love to run, so I'm proud of…
