Cheap ASICS in the US?
Hi all, I'm currently visiting the US (from Australia). Back home, my podiatrist diagnosed me with overpronation, and a running store watched me on a treadmill, and recommended ASICS, specifically the GT 2000's (v2). I ended up purchasing a pair for about $140 USD, which seems to be the going rate back home. I use the…

I'm excited, but a little apprehensive about continuing my new healthy lifestyle whilst on the road for so long!

It's sort of in the middle, near the arch, and progressively gets worse through the day (when I wake up there is no pain, it's…

Eating take-away food in Aus
Hi all, I've been using MFP for 80 days now yay! My question is about what to eat when I go out for dinner.

How many cals should I be eating?
Hi all, I've read so many posts, and am thoroughly confused... I am 29, 169cm tall (I think that's about 5 foot 6?), currently 216lb and want to lose about 65lb. I don't move much at work, but have a fitbit and consistently log 11000 steps a day (about 3000 whilst at work, the extra are done by walking after work). When I…

New to counting calories...
Hi all, I'm new around here :) If anyone wants to add me as a friend, please do. I'm 29, Australian, female, and want to move about 30-35kg (~ 70lbs). This is the first time I've ever counted calories. I've had a fitbit since Christmas and have gone from little exercise to logging 10,000 steps daily since then (have just…
