Running - Knee injury
Question: Saturday I ran my long run for the Half training I'm doing for the Flying Pig in May (10.5mi-a new PR distance wise for me). About 8 miles in, my right knee started hurting, and about a mile later, that pain traveled down into my right shin. I was able to finish but as of today, while not the same pain, the knee…

Fast Carbs / Slow Carbs
Hi guys =) So while i'm at home, laid up sick and awake at 4am I happened to catch an info-mercial about the FoodLovers diet. I have no interest in paying $119 for a program when I've managed to lose so much weight on my own, but I am curious as to what consists of the Fast Carbs? I've found a list of the slow ones, just…

Looking for a cake/cupcake recipe
Hi guys -- I'd like to find a healthy (more so than just the box stuff you find) cupcake or cake mix? It's my weakness so looking to make it not so bad for me. Thanks so much!

Possible Stress Fracture -- MRI
I've been diagnosed with a possible stress fracture by my Sports doctor and I go for an MRI next Wednesday (soonest I could make it work with my schedule). I've been told that they'll inject a numbing agent into my hip and then inject the contrast into the hip as well. Now, I have a pretty severe phobia with needles and…

Pre-Existing Condtions
So very frustrated. Apparently while health insurances can't deny you coverage any longer for pre-existing conditions, they can NOT cover you for the first 12 months. So what is the point of having any law anyways? Anyone with an expensive pre-existing condition is going to be screwed either way if it's anything major.

BD2 Comes out soon
Are you going out at midnight to get it? I'm actually not. I don't know why.. but lately I've just been bleh feeling with the whole thing. Don't get me wrong - I'd still dry hump Edward/Rob at the slightest provocation but it's just been difficult to get excited about it like I once did. I will be picking it up though…

Change in stride?
Question: When I first started walking and then jogging, I went to a shoe store that focused on sports/running. Had them watch me walk/run and then went with the shoe they suggested and felt best; This was July 2011. Fast forward to November 2012 -- I went for new shoes and bought the same brand, just the latest version of…

Mardi Gras recipes
Hi folks! My work is having a food day at work on Fat Tuesday. Anyone have any easy and healthy recipes they could share? Thanks!

Supply Runs
I did a supply run last week and it was super buggy. Music wouldn't play and when I finished, none of the supplies I picked up were in my list for distribution. Is that the normal or did I just have some bad luck? Thanks!

Idiopathic Growth Hormone Deficent
Does anyone have any experience with this? My 15 yr old son has recently been diagnosed with it and am curious how treatment has gone and the kind of results you've seen. We don't go to see the Dr. again until next week to be able to ask these questions.

Bank of America - Home Loan Modification
Has anyone else dealt with them for this? I've a few questions if you have, as we've been trying to get ours confirmed or something for almost a year at this point. Message me please :-) Would really appreciate any insight.

Songs repeating?
Has anyone else had the issue of songs repeating? I noticed it on Mission 8 and Mission 9 that after a broadcast ends, it repeats the song that was just playing. Not that I don't love the music I'm running to but I could see this getting to be annoying.

Zombie chase while in Accelerometer mode
Will you still get them if you're in this mode? With it being dark out by the time I get home and can get out for a jog, I'm going to have to go to my treadmill. I did Mission 9 tonight but didn't get one chase. As much as I'd love the thrill of running at night w/ the zombie sounds in my ears, I'd end up breaking my neck…

Twilight Marathon
So any one else out there going to go for it? I've never seen Twilight in the theater so guess who has a ticket for November 15th... lol Yeah this crazy person. All 5 movies.. back to back with Breaking Dawn 2 coming on at or around 10pm (which I think is super cool).:drinker: my poor *kitten* though ... maybe I can…

Polar FT4 Question
I was having problems with it about a month ago where it was losing my HR. Got that problem fixed, (thanks to all that helped with it) but now it's acting up again. Tonight I was taking a simple walk outside, but it was telling me that my HR was 190. I stopped, took the HRM off, reset it so that it had to re-pick up my HR…

Zombies, Run!
Not sure if this has been posted, or if maybe I should have put this in the Motivational area :laugh: but I'm curious if anyone has tried this running app and what they thought of it? Loving the Zombies as I do, I'm sorely tempted to get it, but not sure I want to shell out the $8 they want for it when I'm almost just as…

Akron/Fairlawn Area
I'm going to be up there for the Cleveland Irish Festival in the Berea area this weekend, but staying in Akron (Fairlawn). I know there's a Metro Park somewhere close by to this, can anyone tell me anything about it? Curious to know if it's super hilly and safe to jog at.
-
Polar FT4 Question
I've had my HRM FT4 now for almost a year but recently (within the last month) I'm noticing that it's losing my HR a lot more than it used to. Is this a sign that the battery may be starting to die or is it just that I'm sweating so much that it can't get a good constant reading (both my watch and my chest strap were…

Time to replace my shoes?
Hi guys, I'm a somewhat active jogger (by that I mean I try to run at least 2 times a week, doing a 5k distance each time). I bought my runners from a store that specializes in running shoes last year about this time and I'm sure I've gone over the mileage limit on them, but they haven't bothered me at all until last…

Never really thought I could do it.. proof in pictures
Hi guys, I'm not really good at posting pictures, so hopefully this helps. As of this week, I'm down 74lbs from my highest weight ever and I just felt the need to toot my own horn. There comes a time where you as your own person just has it up to here with who you are and for me, that point hit last Spring. I'd lost my Dad…

Facepalm moment with my husband...
I have been on him to try and start watching what he eats, as well as to exercise more than he does (barely anything currently), and yesterday I even cited the fact that he needs to do so as to be a better example for our now 15yr old son who is starting to get a belly, just like his father. His response... "that's what he…

Jif Peanut Butter ToGo: Chocolate
My boss was telling me about this the other day and being the PB person that I am, I had to go grab some immediately. Chocolate + Peanut Butter.. can't go wrong right?! Has anyone tried this product and if so, what would or what did you use to dip into it that keeps it healthy and still low calorie. The individual…

Not Twilight related but...
I hate the forums despite meeting most everyone there. People can be extremely rude when just a simple answer is needed sans sarcasam. SO.... I am posing a question: Maybe it's just me that does this but - whenever I get close to the next set of numbers down (in this instance the 150's), I seem to sabatoge myself. Case in…

Yet another 30DS question
I have the DvD -- it's been patiently waiting [unwrapped] in it's case. I finally unwrapped it last night in the hopes that I'll get to trying it one evening this week, but I don't have an exercise mat. Will carpet be good enough (it's like a berber carpet)? I want to try it, but I don't want to tear my body up doing it…

Carnival or Princess
Non Fitness related question: We've cruised before w/ Princess Cruise line and enjoyed it, but we did not have our two children with us. Looking at taking a cruise this winter for Christmas and I've got cabins held w/ Princess again, but someone suggested Carnival because it's a "Party" ship and might be more fun for the…

Subway Restaurant
Generally when I'm traveling I try to eat at Subways because it's a bit healthier than most of the fast food restaurants you find in airports. And I'll be honest, I like them for lunch every so often. I usually get a 6" Turkey on Wheat w/ 1 slice of cheese, lettuce, spinach, tomato, light onion, pickles and light mayo very…

Quick sodium question
Can someone explain to me the logic of the drink more water to even out the sodium intake? I'm going to be severely over on my sodium today if I eat my meal as planned right now. We're talking by a few thousand. How will drinking more water help with that AND how much extra water should I drink?

Combining Weight Watchers and MFP
I have no interest in joining WW - but I'm curious on their Fruit concept of it being free and wanted to find out if anyone else has tried to combine the two and if so, how it worked weight loss wise. Thanks in advance!
