Bought a bicycle - now what?
Hi everyone! So, after four years of saying I'd get around to buying a bicycle, I finally did (and helmet, bike lock, etc). However, I'm really not sure where to 'start,' as I haven't ridden a bike on a road since approximately age 9. I live in Brooklyn, and there are lots of great bike riding options around (or so says…

Walking TO work
Hi everyone! I've searching the message boards a little bit for this and found a lot of posts about people who walk at work (people with active jobs), but I've got a different question: I live in NYC, and I walk to and from work every day Monday-Friday, rain or shine. Each way, it's about 1.3 miles, and it takes me about…

Lost my gym motivation
Hi all, So for the past month or so, I have lost ALL motivation to go to the gym. I have certainly not lost my motivation to work out-- I still run 3-5 miles four or five days a week (treadmill, outdoor track, and trails), go hiking on weekends, go to yoga or do a yoga DVD, pop in a workout DVD like 30DS, or do something…

Extreme guilt
Hi all, I guess I am just looking for some advice/support/relief to know if anyone else does this. If I have a day or two where I go over calories (or even go over my macronutrients), or if I have two or more consecutive days without exercise, my mind gets basically completely paralyzed to all other thoughts except for the…

New to Message Boards, hi!
Hi all, I've been using the MFP Blackberry app for a few months now at the recommendation of my personal trainer. It's a great tool for being able to make food decisions! I just discovered last week the online component and the Message Boards :] I've usually had a healthy lifestyle. Organic food, homecooked meals, and…
