what time of the day do you run?
When i started working out, i always exercised late morning (arounds 11am). With it being the height of summer, I find that i cannot breath as well in the hot humid air of Southern Illinois. I am going to try to get my workouts in the morning so the air iis a bit cooler and i might have more endurance. My question is, when…

Barely Recognize Myself
I think this is my best NSV yet. I have lost almost 90 pounds so far (30 or so left to go) and I barely recognize myself in the mirror. I have been at the same weight for the past month or so but I have notices some serious toning up. When I look in the mirror, I have to remind myself that it is actually me. When I look at…

Body Image Shift?
So, I was wanting to know if anyone else has experienced this. For the past week or so, I look down at my body and it doesn't look like mine. What I mean is I look at my hands and they look totally diferent from how they have ever looked. I look at my feet and they are slimmer and I don't wear Wide sizes anymore and they…

My old coworker didn't even recognize me!!!! NSV
So I've lost 90 lbs using MFP and today, I was walking into my doctor's office and I saw an old coworker of mine. She hadn't seen me in almost a year. I almost walked right past her but at the last second I said, "hey, how's it going?" She about jumped 4 feet into the air and did a double take that almost snapped her neck.…

Dealing with "Sticking Points"
Anyone who has been on the diet roller coaster is quite familiar with those "sticking points" where something seems to be blocking your weight loss. Whether you got stuck at the same weight for 3 weeks or you had to get past the idea of weighing less than a certain number, it happens. For me, I found that the half-way…

Hit a Plateau after adding Protein Bars to Diet
Ok, so I have hit a plateau. I have been running 5 k every day (sometimes twice a day) and I have been staying under calories except for maybe once. Recently, I noticed that the amount of protein I have been consuming has been below the levels MFP suggests so I bought some protein bars and have been eating them for…

NSV - Running Achievement
I had an awesome Non Scale Victory today! When I went running, I knew I would be running in the rain. I knew I needed to get my workout in today before going to church. Anyway, I started running and for some reason I barely felt like I was running. So when it came to 1 1/2 miles (where I would normally have to stop), I…

Sweaty Workout shirt was my allibi tonight...lol
So the place that I go to work out is a baseball park a half mile from my house and unbeknownst to me (it isn't posted or anything) it "closes" at 10pm. Here I am run/walking on the half mile track they have and I see a cop car pull onto the track looking into the shrubs. The park is right next to the construction site for…

Dilemma...have less than 1200 or eat something high in calor
The subject pretty much sums it up. My wife and I have been exceptionally busy today and I was under 1200 calories for today around 9pm. We found ourselves driving home knowing that we would be under 1200 calories by at least 200 calories and we knew we would be going to bed soon. My question is, is it better to be below…

BMI or Body Fat Percentage (lean body mass)
So i'm getting a little confused because when I calculate my BMI it says mine is 36.3 (down from 43.4) and tells me that my target weight should be 125.3-169.3. However, when I use a body fat percentage calculator that gives me my lean body mass, it tells me my lean body mass is 170. So according to BMI I am supposed to…

Right time to weigh yourself....
Is there actually a right time to weigh yourself? I ask this because right out of bed, I weighed myself and the scale said 250 lbs and I put in a really good workout and the scale says 247 lbs. Do I go by the morning weight or do I go with the post-workout weight. I ask because I've always heard you should weigh yourself…

Is there a right weight to start P90X?
Is there a minimum weight that you guys think would be best to get to before starting P90X? I've been planning on getting it but I didn't want to get in over my head. I've lost 44 pounds so far and I don't see any chance of stopping there but I definitely want to look the best I can. My current plan is to get down under…
