1 Year MFP Anniversary (with Pictures)
I just posted this on my blog (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/AggieCass09/view/1-year-mfp-anniversary-88047) but I thought I should share with members other than just my friends... One year ago today I joined MFP. After 365 days of learning how to eat healthy and of intense exercise, I am 31.6 lbs lighter. This is what I…

Bad Run Stories
I read all of these success stories on here of people losing tons of weight and hitting new running PRs all the time and they are motivating, but I didn't see any entries about runs that went bad. Sometimes what you learn from these is just as motivating. I just wrote about my horrible run this past weekend (…

Race Bib Placement when going Shirtless?
So i've never ran a race in anything less than a technical shirt and shorts BUT i'm seriously considering running in a sports bra and shorts this Saturday at my next half marathon. I'm bib #23 and i think there is a good chance that i may place in my age group, since this is a smaller race. This thought has NEVER crossed…

Sodium Support Group
I have a HUGE problem with eating lots of sodium when I eat out on the weekends. I cook for myself/hubby for the rest of the week so Monday-Friday there is no problem. But, come Friday night at 7 pm, when the Margaritas are calling my name, I need some help! Any others out there want to join a weekly support group to…

Getting back into a routine
I have been on this site for more than a year and have definitely had my spurts of intense works out and no work out periods. Well, since I ran the Austin Half Marathon in February, I haven't been able to get back into my routine of morning gym work outs. I am still running since my next half is on April 23rd so my…

30 lb Progress Pictures
I have been a member of MFP since March 2010. Since I joined, I have done a fitness 180 and am a healthy and active person now. Before MPF, I thought I was burning TONS of calories by marathon training and also that I was eating WAY less than I was. WRONG! At nearly 200 lbs, I was eating nearly DOUBLE what I needed to and…

Post Race Depression
Has anyone experienced a period of depression right after a race? I just ran a half marathon this weekend and beat my previous PR on a harder course I was so surprised about this and so happy on Sunday. Then during the week I proceeded to get more and more depressed. I attribute this to not working out daily like I was in…

Turbo Fire or Turbo Jam?
I'm getting bored with my current routine of P90X hybrid with Half Marathon Training and am looking for some at-home videos to supplement my calorie burn at night. I currently follow this plan: Weekdays @ 4:30 am; Weekends @ 8 am Mon/Friday: P90X strength routine (rotate through them) at gym Tues/Thurs: Easy 3-4 mile run…

Help! It is SO close
My Valentine's Day goal is to be at 150 lbs (minus 34.6 lbs over all or minus 6 lbs from today). This is still reachable but I need some help staying focused. I ran the Houston half marathon last week and have had a bit of a struggle this week getting back into the habit. I've been right at my net calories all week and…

I am running the Houston half again this January as well as the Austin Half in February. and am currently at 162 with the pound per week steadily coming…

NSV- Sub Size 30 Jeans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have alway been told growing up that I was "big boned" so I have always had this stigma that I was always going to be at the upper end of sizes. For example, clothes at forever 21 NEVER fit my bottom half...EVER... UNTIL last night...not only did I get into size 31's (i didn't even know they sold these in the store…

Tortilla Soup
My husband wants this tortilla soup casserole tonight for dinner since (apparently) I've been focusing too much on my food preferences rather than his lately. Anyways, the recipe calls for a tortilla soup as a base to the other ingredients and I am having trouble finding at least a low sodium soup, but preferably one that…

Too Many Carbs?
As a picky eater who was never keen on meat, I have decided to pretty much go vegetarian. However, I am training for two half marathons in January and February of 2011 and have been consciously trying to eat the recommended amount of protein. While doing this and staying right at my calorie goal of 1200 a day regardless of…

Detox
I'm considering doing a several day detox. I'd like some suggestions as to what kinds anyone else has tried and if they would recommend it. Thanks :-)

Howdy!
I am a 23 year old engineering graduate student and am new to the site. I have lots of active hobbies including running marathons, golf, and cycling. These hobbies enabled me to lose 25 pounds last year before my wedding, unfortunately my schooling is especially demanding this semester and I have gained all that weight…
