running shoes... on a budget?
Where is a good place to get a starting pair of running shoes? I (like everyone I bet, lol) am on a budget, but I need a new pair! I'm not really happy with the reeboks I currently have.

Runners... running on the beach?
I'm fairly new to running, still working through the C25K. I wanted a change of scenery and since we are close to the beach, thought it would be nice! ...any runners here that run regularly on the beach? What do you do for your feet (barefoot, regular running shoes etc.)? I love walking on the sand, it feels like a good…

NSV size 12!
I've been on MFP since April and have lost about 20lbs so far. At first all that changed was my bra and undie size (not all that great of an NSV, but one none the less) :laugh: I had to buy some new shorts for summer and I fit in a size 12! I know sizes vary widely, but prior to losing the weight I was in an 18 of the same…

Your 1st 5K experience?
I'm doing the C25K program and was just wondering about others' experiences... Tell me about your 1st 5k! ...how long it took you, how you felt, did you run the whole way or walk some? ...anything you can tell me, I want to know :bigsmile: I hope to do my 1st 5K in the fall. I'm only into WK1 so far. Thanks!!

C25K and ellipticals?
I can run 3 miles in about 40 minutes on the elliptical on level 7 or 8. I want to run a 5 k later this year but running outside has given me knee and shin pains. I was wondering if I should do the C25K program from the beginning? I thought I'd be somewhat conditioned by running on the elliptical, but maybe thats not so...…

...about FAT?
I have been doing pretty well so far, since being on MFP. I've lost 15 lbs in 5 weeks and feel great. I have 40 more to go, and could stand a few more beyond that ;) One thing that bugs me though, is that my daily fat (and sometimes sodium) is always close to, or in the red zone. I have it set for 56 gms of fat daily. I…

So far I've 'LOST' 15 pounds!
I've been at this for almost 2 months now. I'm glad I found this website! My goal is to lose 40 more, but I'm so happy I've gotten past the 10lb mark this time (I've dieted so many times before and usually give up around the 10 lb mark, when things get tough). We have an elliptical machine that we got a few years ago...…

Question about caloric intake and breastfeeding
Currently I have MFP set to allow 1200 calories daily. I have been eating some of my excersize calories. I am breastfeeding though... my son only nurses 3-4 times a day. How do I take this onto account, or should I even bother? Thank you!

How does the elliptical compare?
I have been doing an hour everyday... variating a slow to moderate pace, average of 3-4 mph. It reads that I'm burning around 400 calories each time. I will be able go faster and harder as I keep doing it. My question is, how does it compare to running? How about walking or biking?? I hope it is worth it, because right now…

Jumping in...
Hi! I'm new... 35 year old SAHM. I'm always on a diet :/ I read about this site on another board and liked what I saw! I count calories regularly and just started using my elliptical (after having it sit around and hold clothing for over a year). I do an hour everyday (my goal). I queue up a good show from hulu on the…
