You can drink any beer you want. One at a time. But you have to walk to the store for each one, and take the long route home. Then record the calories and enjoy the beer.

Ahnu Sugarpine low-tops are my very favorite hikers. They have eliminated my chronic tendon issues. They are lightweight but still very supportive. I have both the regular and waterproof versions. Make sure your laces are properly adjusted to prevent slide. I also recommend inserts, even custom orthotics if your insurance…

I would gain weight at even 1,800 calories a day, sadly. (I'm in my 50s and have thyroid issues, so my metabolism has slowed down a lot.) I just don't need a lot of food anymore, but the things I eat are always high in nutritional value. I feel great.

It helps to keep in mind that you also can't precisely measure the calories you're burning. So there will always be some uncertainty with both intake and output. Just get as close as possible.

I'm guessing there are plenty of people who have been silently inspired by your progress. As for that guy, I'd just give him a quizzical look or say, "Good thing it's my body, not yours, isn't it? I sure feel great! Have a nice day."

I've known people who have felt more pain in the bones in their feet when the fat pads on their feet got smaller.

"That has been rude and inappropriate every time you've said it."
