New to the group and come with questions
Hello all! I am a new proud mom of a little girl that was born six weeks ago. I started back at exercising the other day and my milk supply has been greatly affected already. I have been exclusively breastfeeding and doing a couple pumps a day since the beginning with a fair amount of success. I was starting to figure out…

triathlon weight training
I am training for a sprint triathlon coming up at the end of the summer that has a 350 m swim, 12 mi bike, and 2 mi run. I can do each of these legs on their own already before starting the training with absolutely no problem as I am in fairly good cardio shape and I like the training program I started, but I am worried…

early morning run fuel
I'm getting back into early morning runs when I don't have to be at work early and don't quite like running on an empty stomach but also don't like feeling my water and food jiggle around in my stomach while I jog. Any suggestions on light snacks to eat before going out? For example, I'm having water, a clementine, and…

running and weightlifting
I am really starting to not like lifting and running on the same day anymore. It doesn't matter which one I do first, the next day, my knees always hurt a little and sometimes it takes a few days for the pain to go away completely. I already can't run 2 or more days in a row because that hurts the knees also. I usually run…

Getting more serious about biking
I have been biking since the beginning of last summer and have worked my way from only being able to do 4 miles or about 20 minutes at a speed of 8 mph to being able to do 10-15 miles at a time and going about 12-15 mph for an hour or little more. I would like to add more milage, be able to go for longer, and would…

I need help finding some books
I haven't been much into reading for a while now, but have had an itch to read some books lately. Not just any books, but books where I can be more knowledgeable on fitness, nutrition, exercise, etc. I looked at Barnes and Noble and ended up buying "Why We Get Fat and What To Do About It" by Gary Taubes the other day and…

iPhone vs HRM vs MFP
Today I went for a 4 mile jog. My pace was right about 5 mph. I used an iPhone app for my training for the first time and it has the ability to help calculate calories burned. So I had my iPhone going and on top of that I wore my HRM that goes to my watch and afterwards I got on to MFP to log my running. The question is…

HRM, calories burned, and exercising
I currently have a HRM that was fairly cheap a couple years ago. It served its purpose and has been causing me a lot of problems lately (the battery always goes out all the time and the watch doesn't always make a connection with the chest band). When I bought it, it was mainly for running/jogging/walking. I now do a few…

Favorite movies to watch around Halloween
I put a post on here sometime last week that was sort of taken the wrong way. I had posted about horror movies (because I am a huge fan of them and fyi, I don't care if you think they are stupid) to watch leading up to Halloween. I was met with little success, so I am extending this to be any festive Halloween movies that…

It's October!! Bring on the Horror Movie Fest!!
I absolutely love October. Cooler weather, Halloween, Oktober Fest, and my favorite...Horror Movies!!! We're 6 days into October and I have sadly not watched any scary movies yet. I usually try to watch a couple every weekend and look forward to any that show on TV, but I have Netflix now so I can watch as many scary…

Possible NSV?
I don't know if this counts as an NSV, compliment, or some form of sexual harassment but here goes... I have been working out at a nearby gym for the past week. I always work out in longer basketball shorts and a t-shirt. I don't care how I dress when I go workout for a lot of different reasons but some of those reasons…

Which is better?
For a while now, I have been eating Egg Beaters. Probably for the past few months every single morning. Every now and then I will eat real eggs (the whole egg, not just the whites). My question is which one is better for you and why? I'm willing to hear any info and opinions. In some ways I feel like I'm missing out on…
