Deadlift workout yesterday, all PRs for their rep range: 325x12, 370x5, 405x1. Felt like I had plenty left after those.

Squats are my horrible spot, over head press is relatively strong according to https://symmetricstrength.com/. 250x5 squat, 145x5 OHP, 365x5 deadlift. But I am still on the beginner program so hopefully these should even out. I am very wary of eating enoughto capture all those beginner gains, though. I already don't like…

The treadmill or the Jacob's ladder. The treadmill most accurately reflects natural human movement and the ladder is just about a full body workout. There will be a lot of people who will recommend barbell focused strength training to change your body composition. They are not wrong and you should consider that advice.

Lately for breakfast I've been eating six eggs scrambled with celery and red onions cooked into them. Easy to make which is a big plus for me.

140x5x3 overhead press. Seeing big improvement in this as I get back to eating more. Took second place in a very small community charity 5k.

10 minute mile pace would be the cutoff, imo. A slower pace that involves having both feet off the ground at the same time would be jogging.

Not if you keep adding weight to the bar.

If you can have a conversation during a 5k, 10k, or half-marathon, you aren't trying. And your training should at least some of the time reflect or exceed your race paces. I haven't run many conventional marathons, but I have run about a dozen ultras and have been able to hold conversations during them. But I am slow and…

You should shower and wash your clothing afterwards, anyway. Rain should never stop a run.

Sometimes one needs to make time.

I did that 250lbs for 25 reps deadlift challenge, then finished up with 12 sets of 5 at 315lbs Jefferson lifts. Nice back workout.

Makes me want to get a smart phone. Currently I have to take my wife's phone outside to catch pokemon for her.

To answer the OP directly, no one here or on any internet forum is going to have an opinion that should outweigh your doctor's.

I did a run hosted by "The Original Mud Run" Saturday. I only entered the competitive heat because it was the earliest and I wanted to make sure I got to work on time later that day. I ended up coming in 2nd of 90 competitors (there were over 600 fun runners in later heats). It was challenging but I was able to do each…

I took second place in my local mud/obstacle run. There were 88 runners in the competitive heat. 5k and 31 obstacles.

Yea it is dangerous. There, now you have your excuse.

Two for me - on Saturday I ran a 1:33:25 half marathon and on Monday I deadlifted 315lbs for three sets of five. Hit a set of five on Wednesday for 320lbs. Both PRs for me.

If you completely hate veggies you can eat veggies, nothing stopping you.

Lift weights, full depth squats in particular.

Why are you looking for an excuse to be confrontational? They are saying it is unfortunate something is true. You seem to be hoping someone is going to come and deny it so you can condescendingly explain how the facts are the facts regardless of their feelings.

Are the people making these comments folks you would really want to take weight loss advice from? Often negativity like this is motivated by envy. "Starvation mode" is not something you need to worry about if you are eating 1500 calories a day.

It is ok to feel hungry sometimes.

Good luck in your training!

It is easier for me to force myself to do something every single day than it is to have breaks. I am not good at allowing myself breaks, I will fall off the wagon.

Longest recent run was 12 miles at a good pace. A few years back I did a 100 mile endurance run but that averaged a ~14 minute/mile pace throughout, so I wasn't running straight through the whole time.

I run to and from work. Sometimes I ride my bike to and from work. That is 5-6 days a week. If I am not working I will run for fun and/or ride my bike for errands. Working exercise into my commuting is the easiest way for me to stay active.

I never wear socks when I run (except when I had to in the Army), and I remove the insoles from my shoes when I buy them. For me, the best way to avoid blisters is to toughen my feet. The socks running stores sell are probably an unnecessary expense. I try to support my local running store in other ways, though.

Hey that is where I live (since June last year).

According to MFP, I burn 800 calories just getting to and from work, and upwards of 2000 on the weekend when I ride my bike for errands and do my long runs, so I typically have to eat at least a third to a half of those to not be too hungry. I've lost 38lbs in less than two months with this method so it is working for me.
