Reality of actual 5K Race Anxiety?
I have completed C25K TWICE. The first time I did it mostly on treadmill as I started in late winter. I found when I went outside I struggled despite being able to do each week/day on the treadmill. I did the entire program again only outside. Now my issue is different. At the park I usually go to I can complete the final…

Advice for Increasing 5K pace
I finally achieved my goal of completing my first 5K while running. It was at "turtle speed" but I finished which was the goal! (It took 41 minutes.) Now I want to increase my pace but I really lack the endurance. Just finishing the 5K took me having to do Couch to 5K twice! The 5K pacer app has me doing intervals but my…

Couch to 5K on treadmill vs. outdoors
I started Couch to 5K four weeks ago. I usually walk 5Ks at a leisurely pace and say my goal is complete- not to compete. I will keep that goal even while jogging but here is my issue. I live in Ohio and right now the weather is up and down. I do NOT like to be outdoors in the cold. Ever. but recognizing 5Ks are outdoors I…

From Walking a 5K to Running a 5K - Tips?
Hi! Short summary I lost 110 pounds from July 2015-September 16 with MFP and a few months in added Fitbit. I do not regularly work out exactly but move more and monitor that I'm getting in my steps. This has led to me walking a few 5Ks which is huge for me because I always profess that I don't care to exercise and yes I've…

Holiday Horror-Getting Back on the Wagon
So today I finally did it...I got on the scale after a hiatus. I began my journey`in April and was doing quite well. Then I had some work changes (I am an elementary principal) and it became a struggle to just go to the gym and maintain starting in August so my weight loss slowed. Well the holidays hit and now I have…

I have created my own plateau
So I have reached a weight loss/fitness plateau. But not the regular kind we all know of-where you are doing everything right but the scale does not move. No-mine is self inflicted. I can't say I am doing everything right. As a matter of fact I seem LESS motivated and I know it is all work stress. Ever since I got back…

Helpful Droid Apps?
I just got a new Droid phone-I love it! Just wondering if any of my MFPs have any suggestions on fabulous Apps for it? Besides MFP of course-I was thrilled that it was just created. I am really looking for something focused on eating out. Thanks!

Nutrition info on menus?
I just recently went to New York for work. I was pleasantly surprised at the many restaurants that really did place the calorie content directly on the menu! I can not express how helpful this was for me. While I am really trying to make healthy living a lifestyle,it truly helps for the calories to stare you in the face.…

I'm so excited-IT FITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I have been on a weight loss roller coaster pretty much all of my life. I joke with my friends that I am the Ohio Oprah. Up and down..you know the drill. However, typically before I get the weight off I have given up and gave all of my smaller clothes away. Not this time...this time my breaking point occured when my…

Cheat Day?
So I have read a few posts about having a "cheat" day and I was curious as to how many people actually do have one.....Do you have one day where you eat what you want (within reason)? If so how does this effect your weight loss if at all? I posted a week ago about whether people eat specific foods only or whatever they…

Please just remind me
So today I did a weigh in after 2 weeks from the most recent and I was down 3 pounds. I know that 3 is better than none but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. I think after watching Biggest Loser and seeing 10 pounds a week it frustrates me when I don't have those quick results. Also keeping in mind I do know in…

Do you eat anything you want to but not a lot of it?
So I am curious.....I am on this site because I gained back 80 pounds I lost back in 1998. I truly believe it happened because initially I DRASTICALLY changed my diet to something that was unrealistic. I did not eliminate a food group but rather only ate the same low calorie things though it was never what I really wanted.…

A small thing that was big to me!
So I am fighting the weight loss war again after losing 80 pounds in 1999. It slowly returned. Well, I have been at it for about a month. Not yet feeling the big thrill of too big clothing....today I almost flaked out on going to the gym despite my consistency the past month. Then ...it happened. Someone said "You look…

What is your gym workout?
So I have been on the weight loss journey before-when it went well I would typically go to aerobic classes at the gym. My new gym doesn't offer that (changing is not an option) . So I now go to the gym and just do cardio. I was curious about other gym workouts. What do you do? For how long and at what speed? Like right now…

If every day were like this, you would weigh____.
I just started using this site and I love it. I have only been on five days and I am curious: After entering diet and exercise and then hitting the submit button it gives the message: If every day were like this you would weigh _____pounds in five weeks. I would like to know from those who have been on this site awhile…

So happy to have found this site!
Hello! I just joined four days ago after googling "food diary" and boy was I excited to find this! I am a 37 year old married, working mom of a three year old. Back in 1998 through diet and exercise I was able to go from 213 all the way to 135! Eventually settling around 150. As the years have gone by and my diet went back…
