Happy to be getting better! :)
I am so very thankful that my medicine is helping! I was diagnosed with over active thyroid in October. I had been noticeably not feeling well since about June. My running times had gotten slower and slower. Finally by the end of September I couldn't run at all. Now after taking medicine for 2 months, things are…

Running mess up monthly cycle?

In a running slump...Help!
I've been running for about a year and a half. I started out running a 5k in about 35 minutes. This past winter I was down to 25 minutes. Now I'm almost back where I started. I weigh the same so that's not it. I don't know why I am running so much slower. I've tried speed work and that seemed to make me worse I think. I'm…

Eating ALL the freakin' time!
I've been going to a zumba class, 3 nights a week, for almost a year and I have been running 30 minutes, 3 days a week on average, for about 6 months now. I am eating all the darned time! I start at about 6 in the morning with breakfast. Usually eat about 4 times at work. Totally nosh out when I get home from work, and…

My son picked a healthy snack at the store!
We were at good ole wal-mart and I was in the cookie/cracker aisle (gasp!). :noway: I was looking at Teddy Grahams and asked him which one he wanted. He picked these Annie's homegrown organic bunny grahams next to them instead. They are WHOLE GRAIN.:happy: Yes, I read the ingredient list. So proud of him, even tho he's 5…

Sportline HRM
Love my husband- he got me a HRM for my birthday! :heart: I have used it a couple of times when I ran and it does not give me the same results that my runkepper app on my iphone says. The app uses GPS to track distance, speed, pace etc. It told me 3.65 miles and the hrm told me 2.30 miles. WTH? Obviously I don't have…

Cardio only?
Is there anything wrong with only doing cardio??? I mean can't you build muscle by running, or walking, or swimming, or zumba, etc? I've read some things saying your muscle melts away if you just do cardio and not strength work.

runner's toe????
Okay what's with the black toenail? I don't remember doing anything to my toe. It doesn't hurt. But one of my toenails has been black for a couple of weeks now. It's the middle one. Not even the big one, which makes no sense. I have heard long distance running will do it. :noway: Wth is that all about? Great, now I'm gonna…

Heel pain?
I started running a couple of months ago. I've completed three 5k races now. I bought good running shoes-asics nimbus- and I love them. HOWEVER, a week ago my left heel started hurting.

Is it bad to run on consecutive days?
I know you are supposed to have a rest day, but is that just 1 day a week? Is it a bad idea to run everyday? Are you supposed to have 1 rest day in between every run day? What is a good safe way to do this? I have ran 4 days in a row before and it didn't seem to bother me. I just don't want to put too much stress on any…

Exercise make anyone feel lightheaded and heart race?
I eat frequently throughout the day and I eat before exercise too. I usually end up over my calorie limit even. The problem is during and after doing zumba for an hour, I feel lightheaded and weak and my heart feels like it's gonna jump out of my chest. I'm not heavy and I have been doing this class since January. I'm in…

Hi MFP users! :smile: I think this is an amazing tool! I can't believe all the foods it recognizes. I've lost 5 lbs. and now I've been stuck for the last month. I don't know how to get past this plateau!
