RUNNERS! & WALKERS! What do you expect at a race??
I am organizing a race for the first time & I need your help! It is a 2 Mile Fun Run/Walk at a college track to benefit American Cancer Society. I have run a few 5Ks but I know I am probably overlooking things while I am organizing this race. What are some things you expect at races in terms of organization and setup? What…

HCG diet?
My mom just started this HCG diet...I haven't done too much research but it sounds like it is totally unhealthy to follow it for 23 days like you are supposed to. Has anyone here tried it or researched it?

Being told "have you lost weight?"
So about a year ago, I semi-started to lose a little weight. I am 5'5" and I weighed about 164 when I started all this. A size 8 was pretty tight. I had started to lose weight for a little bit and when people asked me then "have you lost weight?" I was almost offended because in 2008, even after having a baby, I was always…

Chinese Fried Rice?
A few weeks ago I found a recipe on here for Chinese fried rice...I had bought all of the ingredients and was planning on making it tonight. It slipped out of my 25 recent topics though and now I can't find it! I can't remember exactly what was in it either, but I know it called for Egg Beaters. Anyone remember this or…

Logging P90X?
How does everyone log P90X? I don't do it regularly but as part of the Sumer Lovin Challenge it's my new exercise for the week. I will be doing the Plyometrics tonight...how does everyone log that in your exercise tracker? Thanks!

Sprint Triathlons!
Anybody else on MFP training for a Sprint Triathlon? (or longer distance triathlon?) Mine is on June 11...so I am now just under 4 months away! This will be my first and I can't wait!

Egg Beaters
Going to the grocery store in a little bit. I have a recipe (fried rice) that calls for Egg Beaters. This will be the first time I have cooked with Egg Beaters...does anyone have any other EASY recipes for Egg Beaters? Any easy frittatas, etc? I hate to buy it for just one recipe!

Medicine Balls?
Anyone have some good exercises with weighted Medicine Balls? My normal gym is closed due to snow so I have to go to my university's fitness center...which has very few machines but does have a nice set of medicine balls.

Organizing Races/Events?
Does anyone have experience organizing charity races (or other athletic events)? I am organizing a short 2 mile fun run/walk in April, which is something I have always wanted to do, but I don't really have others in my group who can provide any guidance...we are all new to this! We are expecting less than 100 people. Also,…

I'm excited because...
I work for a nonprofit organization that runs several components to raise money and provide jobs...one of the components is a restaurant which has such delicious food! I have worked at the restaurant for 2 1/2 years now and I have gained a lot of weight during that time & I know part of it was because of snacking and being…

Miles Tickers?
I see some members with the miles they have ran or biked on a ticker in their signature, how do you get those? I found the weight loss tickers, but not the miles trackers. Any guidance would be appreciated!

Any triathletes here?
I decided to do my first sprint tri! I had foot surgery this spring and it will still be a few weeks before I can run. I'm starting to bike, although my foot can only take so much exercise right now. I was a competitive swimmer all of my life, so I've got that part down, but I need some tips from any of you who have done…

Feeling full, but eating too few calories?
Most days I am right on with my calorie goal. I just had surgery on my foot so I'm sitting down a lot and changed my settings to "sedentary lifestyle" but my calorie goal (previously 1550) only went down to 1400. In the week since my surgery, I have been eating lots of raw fruits and vegetables like broccoli, oranges, and…

Motivational Songs?
I LOVE listening to my iPod while I workout. I depend on it to keep me going when I am running and I'm tempted to slow down. I have lots of songs with good beats, but lately I've felt the need to spice up my music. (I prefer songs with lyrics) What are everyone's favorite songs to keep you going while you exercise?…

Homemade Pizza Ideas?
I LOVE pizza! I don't like to order it because the fast food pizzas are all so packed with calories and fat. I know Lean Cuisine and Smart Ones have good, "healthy" TV dinner pizzas, but I need to feed my husband and daughter too. What are some pretty basic, healthy pizzas? I would like to use some kind of pita instead of…

Logging Time for Strength Training?
I just started MFP this week, so I'm still trying to learn how to work everything. Under my goals, I entered 5 workouts/week, 60 minutes/workout. When I have logged my exercise though, it only counted the time spent in cardio. I worked out the full hour, half of it cardio and half of it strength training. How do I log the…
