Random Update!
I need a break from working so I figured I'd post this. Was talking to a guy online and we got along pretty well. I wasn't thinking it was going to work out but he was good looking and we had a lot in common. We met up last night for some coffee and the conversation was fun! We have a lot in common and there are no lulls.…

I have no idea what's going on.
There's this very good looking guy that lives in my apartment complex that I keep running into at the pool area. My roommate, his daughter and I often frequent the area, and the guy (Johnathan) has a daughter that is the same age as my roommates daughter so they've become friends. Well yesterday we run into each other…

Odd Standards?
So I was talking to this one guy that I was fairly interested in, and had even agreed to meet him once things had settled down (this month is going to be crazy). However a few days ago he mentioned that his dog was having some complications. I said that he should take the dog to the vet... he responded that he had work in…

I am a RUNNER!
Finally I feel like I have a real success story! Last year I quit smoking and started C25K. For years I believed I could never be a runner because of my exercise induced asthma. I clung to that excuse hard because... I wasn't ready. Then I saw a picture of myself and decided enough was enough - I can at least try. It took…

Too practical?
I am practical/logical to a fault. Though... I don't really consider it a fault, people have just told me it is. A couple weeks ago I was at a bar with my roomie/bestie celebrating with a few beers. We ran into a guy who seemed really cool and I ended up talking to him almost the whole night. Lot's in common and all the…

Introduce Yourself!
Time for the lurkers to come out! Time for there to be a thread where we introduce ourselves! Veterans and n00bs alike, let's get to know each other. Who are you? What do you like? Why are you single? What do you look for in a partner? I'll lead the charge! RAWR. People call me Kit or TK (online anyway). I'm an animal…

HRM VS MFP accuracy?
I recently got my hands on a New Balance N4 HRM. I was wearing the HRM for the 2 hours I was out and about (run/walk/hiking) and it told me that I burned 1279 calories. MFP is telling me that I only burned about 835. I was under the impression that MFP is usually really high... which is more accurate? and yes, it has a…

Does anyone have experience with these or can recommend a good shoe around the same price ($60) I do actually have a budget so please…

Super minor NSV
So today I was home alone and SUPER HUNGRY (I was reading and didn't want to put down the book to get snacks) so I went downstairs. There in the fridge was the leftover brownie cheesecake that was for my birthday. I took out a place, took out the cake and went to take a huge slice when.... the front door opened. I realized…

Watch Style Heart Rate Monitor
I'm looking into purchasing a watch style heart rate monitor and I have a couple questions about how they work. Some of them mention that I have to touch it with my fingers to get an accurate reading. If you have this style of watch does it mean that your heart rate won't be measured unless you are touching the watch? That…

What should I enter...
Every Saturday and Sunday I volunteer at an animal rescue and one of my jobs is to clean out the animal stalls. This is tough work and usually means I'm breaking a sweat hauling manure around, raking, shoveling, etc. I would like to count this as my weekend exercise (I do it for at least half an hour on a light day) since…

Muscle Development Vs. Sweating?
So here's my story! Due to asthma problems and other life issues I haven't done any real high-impact training for close to seven years. I have managed to get to the point where I can be on the elliptical for hours. However recently I've started trying to do C25K and I LOVE it! What I can do of it anyway. I'm using totally…

Lazy, ignorant, clods!!
I'm wondering if I'm the only person that gets angry about this... I have a lot of friends that are overweight. Most of these friends complain about being overweight but never do anything about it. Recently I was trying to convince one such person to work out with me and join this site and we could support and keep track…

Gym Etiquette?
Quick question regarding manners in the gym. I know a lot of people have issues with folks exercising and talking on the phone. I assume it's because it's considered disruptive. However I was hoping once I get an MP3 player to upload some German practice and maybe even follow along out loud. This wouldn't be at a high…

Hey all! I'm going out tonight and I saved up some calories and I was wondering what low calorie alcoholic beverage options are available besides the low calorie beers. Before I get the lecture allow me to preemptively say: I am aware that alcohol is nothing but empty calories, I am aware that it's not good for me, and I…

Fiber supplement suggestions please!
I need more fiber in my diet - definitely. I've never taken a supplement before and I did use google but I'm not sure how much I can trust the promises made by sellers so I'm hoping people on here will be a bit more... honest. :) I see that most of them to have calories in them so it needs to be low calorie (definitely)…

Mini Rewards?
I was looking for some suggestions to use as mini rewards because I seem to be really struggling coming up with stuff. My main problem is that I'm pretty low on funds (full time student) so anything more than $10 or $20 a month is a bit of a stretch. I know enough to not use food as a reward based on my own consumption…

Strength training!?
So up until a few weeks ago I had my own elliptical in my apartment. I used it to run for one hour every weekday and I was doing good with weight loss. When my elliptical broke I decided to go with a gym membership and after some research I cut my running down to half an hour and do weights/strength training for thirty…

Low Calorie Dessert Recipes?
I'm having my sister and a friend over for dinner tonight and it occurred to me that I don't have a dessert planned! My friend is on a low-carb diet and I'm sticking with low-calorie, so I'd like for there to be a way to accommodate us both. Any suggestions?

Need advice
I'm getting frustrated with the weightloss. I know I need to be patient... but I've been doing a LOT of running and I'm trying to follow the rules of eating back most of my exercise calories which means I'm eating close to 2k per day and sometimes that's a challenge. I drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and I space…

Idiot Proof Diet?
Hey all, I'm looking into this diet (and actually trying it/blogging progress right now) and I did some research. I figured this was a good community to talk to about it.
