Looking for active (continue to post) friends!
Looking for some more friends who are active here. Lots of my "friends" are no longer active on MFP. Needing help staying focused and dropping the weight. I am training for my first full Ironman so watching my intake will be a big part of my training. Oh, and I'm vegan (no judgement if you're not - I'm not that type).

Suggested "Eats" while running
Hi All! Wondering if any of you have recommendations as what you like to take on your long runs. I've not found any real gel, gu or shots etc that I'm fond of yet but just can't keep running on empty. Some said cliff bars - but how do you eat and run??? Help!!!

IT Band
Ran a half marathon the end of April and have been having mild stiffness in the back of my knee/IT band area since. I think I've been stretching enough - warming up then stretching out before setting off - and then stretching when done - foam rolling. I took a few weeks of no more than 8km runs after. Once I get up to…

Mileage Ticker
Was wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to add a mileage ticker to your profile as well as having your weight loss ticker. I have figured out how to create it but don't know where or if I can add it! Thanks!

Gels, gummies or mixes???
Hi, was wondering if any of you have tried (I'm sure you have) the gummies, gels, bars etc.... (electrolyte replacements) out there for longer runs. I am at the 2 hour mark on some of my runs now and finding that after about 1.5 hour I really need something to give me a pep up. I have a 2:15 - 2:30hour ish run this weekend…

Half marathon training
I am a "newish" runner. I have worked up to 10km now and am dreaming of running a 1/2 marathon (so hoping to do the Disney Princess 1/2 in 2013). My question is what program did you use for training? I have done C25K and B210K - and was looking at Hal Higdon's 1/2 marathon app. Any suggestions or advice to help me reach my…

W1D1
Graduated C25K last week and started the B210K today - it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'm a bit worried about when the snow gets here - I think I might stick to running the indoor track.

Hungry bellies......
I was volunteering at my daughters school this morning where they have a breakfast club. The children that are hungry before school can come over and have some snacks to fill their bellies before heading into class - on the menu - carrots, tomatoes, cucumber, banana, apple, oranges, cheese and mini muffins!!! The cucumber…

Opening Up...my diary
In order to hold myself accountable for what I'm eating I have decided to open my diary. I didn't want anyone to see it before because I knew I wasn't really fully working at the food. So today I go on the scale and was up - again! Despite all of my exercise, I am still not eating properly. As of today I am letting people…

Having trouble
Hey all! I've been having trouble with staying on track with my food. I usually don't go over my calorie goal (come just about right on) , but of course have those days when - i just blow it. My trouble is that I am trying to come up with ideas for dinners for myself and my 12 yr old daughter. My hubby travels most of the…

Not in Sync...
So to my astonishment the other day - i logged in and it said "has logged in for 5 days in a row" - automatically I am saying - WTF - over??? I know I have been consistent for almost 5 weeks without missing!!! To my surprise - I found out that when I use my IPOD for entering information - I sometimes don't use it when I am…

Friends out there???
Joined back in April but never really kept it up - now I'm focused. Hoping to find some friends to share this journey with. I am hoping to lose 20 Lbs by March 1, 2012. I am just starting on week 4 of the C25K - if anyone is doing that program. I lane swim 3 times a week (between 1km and 1 mile). I am going to try and add…

Any Swimmers out there???
I have been swimming freestyle - 3/4 times a week - usually do about 1km or even a mile some days - anyone have a good routine built up for swimming or how to mix it up?? I have just started back at MFP, and am hoping it pays off this time!!!
