Help with C25K calories burned?!
So if I log my couch to 5k (week 3, day 1) as walking (3.0mph) 19 min & jogging (4.0mph) 11 min (which in total is what I do), it says I burn 174 calories according to MFP. If I go to dailymile.com and put in my distance (1.68 mile) and time (30 min), it says I burn 506 calories based on my weight (195). What do you think…

I feel like I'm failing.
I've been on MFP since July 29th and I've made some good progress and I've met some amazing people. I think my mood is due to TTOM so this post may just make me laugh next week, but I need to post it anyway. I just need the encouragement I guess. Since July 29th, I have lost 24 pounds and a total of 12 inches from my body.…

Post your favorite photo of yourself! (PG only!)
OK Time to post your favorite photo of yourself. This needs to be PG-rated due to forum guidelines, so no nudie ones. LOL This thread is just for everyone to "show off" and GAIN CONFIDENCE! Because confidence is what makes a person sexy! :-) Mine is either my profile pic or: Profile pic was taken on Mardi Gras of this…

iPhone 4 or HTC Inspire 4G?
My upgrade is coming up and I have AT&T. I know they have the new iPhone coming out soon, but I won't be able to afford it. My budget is right at $100. I am stuck between two phones... either the iPhone 4 or the HTC Inspire 4G. Both are in my budget with the contract renewal. I have an iPhone and I like it, but I was…

TTOM and starving...
Thinking about allowing myself to eat between my goal and my maintenance calories this week. I should get a visit from Auntie Flow soon - anyday- (sorry if that's TMI) and I am officially STARVING due to this. My "goal" right now is 1200 calories/day (more on days I work out). I think my maintenance is 1700/day. If I keep…

Walking shoes/Trainers/Running Shoes
So I need new shoes but I don't know what kind to get. I do a lot of walking, using the elliptical, and workout videos at home. Eventually I do want to start jogging. What kind of shoes do I need? Walking/trainers/running? What's the difference in them? Why is one better for walking and one better for jogging?

Challenge: Change for Change!
Saw something similar on a different site so thought I'd do something like it here... Hopefully some other people will think it's a cute idea. Choose a jar or something to put coins in. You can't use them until the jar is full. The denomination of the coin is up to you. If it's an easy challenge, maybe put a penny... If…

Question for women!
I have a strange question for you ladies. I am a medium-breasted woman (full C cup) and I *could* do jumping jacks, skipping rope, etc. but my boobies tend to make this difficult! They bounce, and it either hurts or seems to knock my breathing out of whack, therefore I can't control my breathing & do the exercise. I have…

Weight Loss Buddy?!
I'm seeking a weight loss buddy. I'd love to find someone with about the same amount of weight to lose, but that's not necessary. Male or female. From anywhere and at any age. Mostly, I'm hoping to find someone to send messages back and forth to, to get to know, and to encourage each other on every step of our journey. I'd…

EA Sports Active?
I just bought EA Sports Active 2 for the Wii for my birthday and today is the second day I've used it (yesterday being #1)... I LOVE it! I was wondering if there are any people here who use it (either the first or second one, or the NFL one) and if so, would you like to be "friends" on here and keep each other motivated to…

New to MFP. :-)
I'm a 24 year old mom to one (just turned 2). I have always had weight issues, but when I was pregnant with my son, I ballooned up to 249. I am only 5'3, so that is HUGE on my frame. I did drop to 241 after my son was home from the hospital, but then I was stuck. So I consider 241 my "highest weight", since the 249 was the…
