Vibrams FIve FIngers- HELP!
I recently purchased a pair of Vibram Five FInger shoes to use for running/ exercise. I've watched videos on youtube and read a few different articles, but I wanted advice from people who own them about how to run properly in them (how to properly land on your feet). I know that it is different with Vibramsvand while I…

Back on the MFP Wagon
Hello MFP friends!!! I need your help, support, and tough love... I have a bad relationship with food. I eat when I'm bored, when I'm upset, when I'm happy... just because.

Confession Time
My week has been pretty hectic. The past two days in particular have been very stressful/ emotional. While I wasn't as bad as I usually am (small victory), I definitely didn't eat within my allotted calories and engaged in some emotional binge eating... thus starting that lovely cycle of being unhappy that I wasn't eating…

Ab Exercises
I'm trying to find an ab exercise that I can do at home that I will actually stick with. Possibly a DVD? (But a really good one that will make me curse the instructor for how much it hurts). I know basic ab exercises like leg lifts, bicycle crunch, plank pose, etc.- the problem is that I am never all that motivated to do…

Vegetarian needing more protein
After tracking for a few days I've noticed that my protein intake is usually always slightly under my goal. Any ideas on ways I can get to my protein goal? I'm looking for ways that make food fun and not boring. And while I love beans, I don' t want to have to be putting them on EVERYTHING. Thanks!!!:happy:

Help Please! Need to control food intake on days of extreme
So today I was busy ALL day. I joined a local running club, and ran with them for about 30 minutes. After that I went and volunteered at a local farm- for 3.5 hours. I did not expect to spend the amount of time there that I did. Needless to say I was not prepared. I did not have my water bottle with me to continuously…

Hi Everyone!
Hello. My name is Lauren, and since I was little I have been told I've been told "honey you're not fat, you're just big boned". My mom, to this day, will swear by this. I've had the life long issue with trying to control my weight, and now I am here. Over the past 7 years I have become active and I do exercise on a regular…
