Hi folks, I'm John, from Toronto, Canada, and I'm in for 145K (90 miles to my US folks). I came across the Jan thread part way through but thought I'd wait to join with the new month. I only started running about 5 yrs ago, after getting clearance from my neurosurgeon, which was 'sure, if you want too' 😄 Ringin…

You could also grow substantially taller, but that would pretty much require one of those 'rack' torture devices 🤔

Share the link with your friends on social media, with a neutral comment like "Have you heard about this?". (I did.) High odds the reactions will be interesting and varied, unless all your friends are chemists, or similar.

I often eat leftovers from dinner for breakfast when I'm not sure what I feel like. Otherwise a couple of hard boiled eggs or some oatmeal. Generally though, high protein, which keeps me full most of the day. 'Breakfast food' isn't restricted to anything specific. Your body isn't saying, 'it's morning, I need a omelet';…

A thread from 2018 to flog spam....

Completely agree. I always cringe just a bit at the 'I'll start after the holidays'; I'll start next month'; 'I'll start Monday'; 'I'll start ...' I hope they do..... The perfect date doesn't exist. Start. (Also, 'godawful pasta' makes me so sad😟 )

I'm picturing a 'belly belt' that shakes off the unwanted fat. B/S but entertaining at least. You cannot target fat loss, not even an 'advanced' treadmill can do that.

What, no soda, how am I supposed to quench my thirst from my healthy walk?

7 days? Not really sure as I tend to go for distance. My cardio: Running. Cycling. Walking. It's all cardio and those are the ones I like that I rotate through. There are others as well, lots of them, as mentioned above. I've tried others, dropped them when I realized I didn't enjoy them. If you dread the cardio you are…

Lots of good advice already and glad to hear you're finding it a bit easier.👍 There's also a MFP group on Garmin called 'My Fitness Pal Buds'. Not a lot of interaction on messaging posts, but a ton of folks sharing their exercise on the daily feed which I find very inspiring.

I'd disagree and say getting rid of my 'fat clothes' gave me even more incentive to maintain my weight loss. To me, keeping them meant not having faith in myself that I could be successful. If I'd assume I'd fail, I would fail. I lost 110lbs 2016-2017 and continue to maintain today. I donated all my 'fat' clothes in 2017.…

Who's said it 'bad'? Unless you have a specific issue, not sure I understand the context. I weigh myself daily, always have, and I record my weight on Monday. As long as you're doing it in a consistent manner and not obsessing over minor changes, when, shouldn't matter.

Burned 465 calories on an 39 minute, 4.1 mile treadmill run @ 6.3 mph

Forgot to post a few days, guess they don't count🤷‍♂️ Today, burned 845 calories on an 64 minute, 7.11 mile run @ 6.7 mph

Burned 489 calories on a 37 minute, 4.3 mile run @ 6.90 mph

Agree with @Lietchi , I closed my diary twice while I was losing weight 8 years ago, read what it said, chuckled and never closed it again. That projection has no real value. Don't let it worry you.

As mentioned, you need to find the balance. When I was losing, eating back 0 exercise calories was wrong, eating back 100% exercise calories was wrong. While I was using my Samsung watch to estimate my exercise calories, I could eat approximately 65-70% of the exercise calories estimated and still lose weight. After I…

Burned 981 calories on an 81 minute, 8.44 mile run @ 6.28 mph

Why? Maybe he should continue his assumed benefits with a carnivore diet? Maybe a vegetarian diet? Vegan? Mediterranean? Kinda depends what he thinks his benefits were.

You're very altruistic. Pretty sure that 'wonderful database' on MFP that you and everyone is using was built on the backs of the numerous users who had a 'free lunch'. You're right nothing is free but MFP users have been building the MFP database for free for years, for MFP to use as they like. Nothing I input here was a…

No idea on the situation you're describing. I find my Garmin over estimates calories burned for walking (by a lot), and for strength workouts (not by much), under estimates calories burned cycling and is pretty accurate for my running. On days where I do all, it's overall calorie burn for the day is bang on. I never really…

Read labels! Use less pre-made food. Most spice mixes have way too much salt, make sure to buy only the no-salt ones if you use. I find commercial chinese spice mixes are a no-go for me unless I make it myself, their first ingredient is usually salt then they add other sodium laden ingredients. Vinegars are you friend, can…

Lots of good advice above 👍 My registered dietitian suggested eating in smaller intervals (3-4 hrs) to address 2 things: 1) I mentioned I gained weight as I often had one very large meal at end of day and was overeating because I was starving by the time i had it; 2) I was pre-diabetic and was trying to get my blood sugar…
