Anybody Climbed Whitney Before?
I'm giving it a shot in July and would be happy to hear anyone's stories.

Stupid Knees
I was back running for six months with no problems. I decided to train for a half and still no problems running up to eight miles for my "long" run. Then I ran trails a couple times on vacation and came home and did the eight miles and started feeling twinges in my knees. I laid off and bought new good shoes after a…

Adjusting Training to Avoid Injury
I started to feel some knee pain for the first time running on Saturday, and after a rest day and a cross-training day (elliptical), I'm supposed to run tomorrow. Since I can still feel some tenderness in the knee, I'm wondering if I should avoid running until it feels perfectly well, or should I expect some twinges and…

Rest/Recovery Days - How Do You Decide?
I'm on the verge of upping my miles significantly to train for a half, and it's tempting to just run as much as I can as long as I'm not exhausted or injuring something. I want to do four running days, two cross-training days. How do you decide how much rest/recovery you need?

First Half Marathon - Hope I Finish in Time
I'm signing up for a nice flat half marathon along the ocean, and I'd love any tips on cranking up my speed. I can run a long ways at a slow pace, but I haven't naturally picked up speed like I expected to after running for a while. When I speed up, I get tired a lot more quickly. I'm a little worried I'll be among the…

Endmondo Kind of Sucks
I had all kinds of problems with Endomondo not tracking or shutting off, and so I upgraded to Pro hoping for a better experience. It does the same thing: stops tracking even though GPS says it's connected, starts tracking and then stops, doesn't show the map at all even though it says it tracked, etc. When I contacted…

Yoga - Am I Doing This Right?
I have been to about six yoga classes, and I like it for the overall fitness it seems to be helping me gain, but some of the poses don't feel right. I work at a desk all day, and it's not uncommon to feel a little twinge in my back here and there, and in some ways yoga seems to make it worse. The back-bend type moves are…

Lose, Lose, Lose, Lose, Lose, Lose
I heard repetition is the key to learning for most people.

Speaking of Chafing
Yeah, I guess we weren't, but as someone who has taken up running again, I was bummed at the painful chafing from my, ahem, brassiere :blushing: . This stuff eliminates all chafing. I put it on hot spots on my feet too, and no more blisters. 2 Toms Sport Shield http://amzn.to/1brYIGF

Weight Loss and Hair Color
Just think it's funny how so many people get blonder as they lose weight :wink:

Endomondo 810 Calories, MFP 562 Calories
That's a pretty big gap. I get that they're variations, and I want to be conservative, but it seems like Endomondo has more info about terrain, etc., so more accuracy, but Endomondo is also higher than the results I got from mapmyhike. Should I split the difference? I eat a portion of my exercise calories, 25-75%.

Comfort Food Fix
I used to make souped up Kraft Macaroni & Cheese for my son with chunks of steak and extra shredded cheese. It was very popular with him and his friends. So I had a craving for comfort food today and pulled a Lean Cuisine Macaroni & Cheese out of the freezer, added 2 ounces of marinated pork tenderloin, and a tablespoon of…

Often Surprised About Sizes
I'm 5'10". I weigh 155, and I wear a size 12 pants, and I often wear a large in tops. Depending on how big the sizes run, I might be a size smaller. When I hear someone weighs 160 pounds and wears a size 6 or something. I'm kind of surprised. Is this a height thing?

At Least I Don't Eat ...
I do like all kinds of food. I am not picky, but I'm thankful that there are a few popular fattening items that don't appeal to me AT ALL. I really think cake is a waste of flour and sugar, and if it's covered in chocolate sauce or caramel sauce and chunks of candy or cookie, etc., yuck! Thick butter on anything, also…

Lose/Loose
You lose weight. Your pants are loose. Sorry, it's a very common error on this board :flowerforyou:

Oven Roasted Tomato Flat Bread at Claim Jumper
I ordered it with no alfredo sauce and easy cheese, and it was DELICIOUS! The flat bread is very thin. They wood fire it and add a handful of greens with a little garlic vinegarette, which I spread over the top to infuse the garlic flavor you lose by not having alfredo. It serves as a whole meal, and I put the calories at…

MFP Calories v. BMR
I want to lose a pound a week. I understood you had to cut 3500 calories over time to lose 1 pound. MFP says my BMR is 1508 and I should eat 1380 a day to lose one pound a week. I've been sticking to the plan for three weeks. I've lost 1 pound. How can I lose a pound a week by cutting out 128 calories a day? The strange…
