Eating/drinking during running
I am training for my first marathon. I have noticed in the past that my stomach cannot handle many foods or drinks while running. I get very nauseous if I eat even half a banana. So my question is what is the best thing to use to fuel your body during long runs? My longest run so far has been 10.5 miles and I did OK, but…

111 Pounds lost, still maintaining
I started my weight loss journey in 2009. I was 280 lbs when I decided I needed to make a change. I was very unhappy with myself and couldn't believe I had gotten so big. I started logging everything I ate and lost about 40 lbs in about 5 months. Then, I got pregnant. I had a rough pregnancy/delivery and told myself if I…

74 pounds gone!!
I started my journey on April 4th, 2011. I've lost a total of 74 pounds so far. It's hard for me to see a difference until I see pictures of myself. Sometimes I have to remind myself how far I've come, and hopefully this will motivate some of you. Have a great day everyone :)

Anybody have one they recommend? I am going to start running outside once the weather warms up and I am looking to buy one for my training. There are so many different kinds out there. Thanks in advance :)

HRM question
For those of you who wear a heart rate monitor, do you stop the HRM right when your done with your exercise or do you let it go for a while since your heart rate is still up? I usually wait a while, maybe 10 minutes or so to let my heart recover. And then, I input that many calories into MFP. Anybody know what the correct…

Looking for a good chili recipe!
Anybody care to share a good chili recipe? We like it a little spicy, but not burning your mouth spicy. Meat and beans are good too. Thanks :)

Huge NSV for me

Our gym got new treadmill's, and one of the programs you can select is 5k. I decided to do it, and see if I could beat my time. Well, not only did I beat my time by 1 1/2 min, I ran the entire…
