ChaLEAN Extreme questions
Hi, For those of you who have done this program, how much weight did you lose, did you see muscle by the end of it, and how many calories were you eating? I started doing the program about 6 weeks after I had my baby, stopped after doing the program for 3 weeks (baby was very demanding of my time, lol), and am hoping to…

Who owns a treadmill?
I'm looking to purchase a treadmill (probably around Christmas), that isn't too expensive, but is sturdy enough for lots of running. The climate here is pretty darn cold, and I'm hoping to take my running indoors when there's snow and ice on the track. Anyone here own a treadmill that was priced nicely but holds up to a…

Has anyone here run a marathon?
Has anyone here run a marathon? I am thinking of running one in May. Is that nuts? How long does it take to train? Should I try a half marathon first? This is something I really want to do, and I want to do GOOD. Not just finish the race, but actually place well, too. I'm competitive like that. Any advice? I'm female, and…

Break in running shoes?
How long does it take to break in running shoes? I'm going to be running in my first 5k on the 15th of this month. I thinking of buying a new pair of running shoes this Saturday. Is a week long enough for me to break them in (don't want blisters!), or should I stick with my old shoes until after the 5k?

My knees hurt from running
I looooove running. I'm already running/jogging about 3.5 miles at a time (started last Thursday). The only thing is, my knees hurt the next day, forcing me to take a rest day in between the days I can run. Is there something to strengthen my knees so I can can run 4-5 times a week instead of just 3? Thanks!

Wii ZUMBA vs. ZUMBA Dvds
Have you tried one? Both? Which one is better? Is one easier than the other? REAL classes are not an option. Not yet, anyway. I want to see what this whole "Zumba" craze is all about. The Wii version and the DVDS are the only options available right now, and I can't invest in both. Thanks!

Eat back ALL my exercise calories????
REALLY confused about this. if I were eating 1200 calories a day, and ate back 500 calories that I burned, making a total of 1700 calories, and left a ZERO amount left, wouldn't that mean I would lose nothing? I haven't tried it, but I would guess that MFP would tell me "in 5 weeks, you'll be the same weight." Correct me…
