Newbie Lifter
Hi ladies! I'm new to this group as well as lifting in general. I just started StrongLifts 5x5 yesterday and I'm so excited already! The biggest issue I've come across so far is that I have very limited flexion in my ankles so I can't get passed a chair height position when I squat. This has always been an issue for me,…

30-Day
Hi! Just started my 30-Day today. Made the mistake of mentioning it in the forums to find a group and just got shamed in every way. Ugh, MFP sucks sometimes.

Can't get motivated
I'm just about at my all time highest weight that I haven't been in over 10 years. Granted I had a baby 2 years ago but even afterwards I dropped within a few pounds of my pre-pregnancy weight and I've somehow gained 10+ pounds after that. It's getting to the point where I avoid leaving the house, I avoid some gatherings…

21-Day Primal Challenge
Heya folks. I'm on day 3 of Mark Sisson's 21-Day Primal Challenge. There's now an app (Vimify) that you can do the challenge on but the next one didn't start for 3 weeks and I needed to start NOW. So here I am too noob to post on Mark's Daily Apple forums and needing support when I remembered (DUH), MFP has a Primal/Paleo…

Tricks To Drink Enough Water
I don't drink enough water, I should be drinking at least 75 ounces but I can never remember. Sometimes it will slip my mind almost all day, I'm not a thirsty person in general so I never think of it. What tricks do you use to make sure you get enough water everyday?

Picky Eater That Can't Cook
Hello MFPers. First off I just want to say, I love you guys. Seriously I would have given up 5 times just in the last 4 weeks I've been on MFP if it wasn't for you! Anyhow... I struggle sometimes with being a picky eater. I have always been picky but in the past few years I've been more adventurous and finding new foods so…

What Do You Think
I found this super cool blog about fitness and nutrition and it really made a lot of sense! But apparently I shouldn't be cutting calories, I should be eating about 800 - 1000 MORE calories than MFP says... I really want to believe this :laugh:. What are your thoughts?…

How to Log Walking on the Beach
I have been walking on the beach for an hour a day but when I try to log it I'm not sure how. I am certainly burning more calories than an hour of leisurely walking or walking the dog. By the end of that hour my legs are tired and tingly and I am sweating a little so it seems like a decent workout, more so than just…

My First 5k! Need advice
Hello MFPers! I am "running" my first 5k on Monday (July 4th). That day will be the day I would be beginning Week 9 of C25K (last week, YAY!) But I'm not really sure I'm ready, I'm in week 8 now so I only run for 28 mins and since I don't run very fast it's no where near 3.1 miles. And by the end of those 28 mins I am…

Running Music
I'm bored with my music and would like a chance to listen to music I normally wouldn't but I don't want to be constantly buying new songs... are there any podcasts or iphone app radio stations that allow you to listen to music that's good for running?

Success Stories Demotivate Me
Is it just me? I'm obsessed with them and love seeing the changes but I look at the people that have completely transformed and hit their goals and think... That will never be me, I'm not capable of doing what they did.

Use Exercise Calories?
I'm a little fuzzy on this because WW said, don't use these calories... the food diary kinda implies that you should but I don't want to exercise just to use all the calories I just worked so hard for. So do I stick with my 1200 calories even when I run or exercise or do I eat some or all of the extra calories? Thanks!

Not Running My Butt Off
So I started C25K 2 months ago and I'm just curious if anyone else has had this problem. I have not lost a pound. Not one!! Admittedly I was not eating awesome but I started cleaning up my diet almost immediately and now my diet is not perfect by any means but it's waaaay better. In the past I have been able to track my…

Hiya
I'm new to MFP but prior to this I've done WW, used the Lose It app, etc. For two months I've been doing C25K training (couch to 5k app on the iphone) and tracking my food but now I'm moving here because I need support. I felt like I was all alone but my sister (ilovemyjacks) just started here so I thought I'd give it a…
