this is a non-run post. I set my alarm and got up at 4:45 to run before work, but then went back to bed. The 0 degree temp wasn't bothering me, it was all of yesterday's snow melting in the sun and then re-freezing during the night. If I fell and broke something, I'd be a loss worse off than missing one day of running. Got…

WTH?!!! My store has like 3 flavors of this! I feel so cheated.

Thats great! Love the hat idea!

I hate you, LOL

Completely false, and a very bad excuse. Anyone who is bored from eating the same thing repeatedly simply doesn't know how to prepare food. I have done "low fat, high carb" CICO diets and felt starved the entire time. One year and counting on LCHF and I don't have any hunger problems except those days when I run 5 - 10…

The "no holds barred" idea comes from the Atkins diet, I believe. The idea (and I have experienced it to be true for me) is that you eat as much as you want in the beginning, then after a few weeks you naturally taper off the amount you eat. But yes, in the long run, the total calories are important. You can't eat…

I ate whatever I from Christmas eve until new years eve. So I went back keto 4 days ago and the cravings are definitely back! I thought it would take a while to get back into ketosis but I checked yesterday morning and the test strip was already positive. Hopefully the holiday weight will be coming back off quickly. Did I…

Yes, sugars should be a subset of the carbs listed. The problem is in WHO put those stats in and did they put them in correctly. I have found it can take a lot of searching to find submitted foods with the correct nutritional data.

damn man! hard core!

Just find a regular recipe you like, then put everything into the MFP recipe log and figure out how much you can have to stay in your calorie goal. You could make some deplorable low-fat, faux-turkey, soy meatloaf that has a lot fewer calories, but whats the point when it tastes like warm garbage?

been keto for just over a year now. You need to make sure you are approaching this correctly. Many people jump into it with what they think a keto diet is and then fail miserably. It is not easy, but any major change to eating never is. Just because other people gave up, don't let that deter you. I have tried just about…

yes, I started on Jan 1, 2016 so just over a year now.

I'm hoping to do the Disney StarWars run in 2018, I just hope to get in. I have read that they sell out within minutes of opening 6 months prior. My wife has been begging to go to Disney for a while so this is going to be a multi-purpose trip.

Today's 7.2 mile run went MUCH better. Felt better, ran faster, no bathroom emergency LOL.

If the OP's log is saying 750 calories, then that won't show anything. This is almost certainly a case of underestimating food amounts, overestimating calorie burns, or a combination of the two.

MFP doesn't look at exercise calories when giving you that "not eating enough" warning. It's looking at the actual calories you said you eat that day.

I planned for a 6 miler today, but the result of several days of serious over-eating was that I felt bloated, stiff and slow. To make matter worse I had a "bathroom emergency" but was barely able to get back home so I only finished 4.6 Taking a few days off from running and eating tons of crap sure was fun but I can really…

I don't have a clue about calories or macros for that past few days. The fire station was a constant stream of people bringing us cookies and candy and donuts, and thankfully some sandwiches. The house was full of leftovers including more pies, etc. I began my new WOE and exercise on JAN 1, 2016 so a few days of indulging…

Rum cake!

I gave up on running the past couple days because I just don't have the proper clothing. I have been flirting with the margins of safety with temps down into the teens. Last couple days though it has been single digits with windchills in the negative teens. Oh well, I've been pushing pretty hard and my legs need some…

I'm up north in Enid. I haven't been to the Lawton area in years, but I have spent a lot of time on Ft. Sill. Good luck on your goals!

I have occasional planned breaks, and unplanned IDGAF breaks. Today just happened to be one of those IDGAF breaks. I went to a retirement party where I indulged on a piece of chocolate cake and 3 cookies. (seeing it written out doesnt sound like much but it sure felt like eating a ton of junk food!) But this was after a 10…

I have this same argument in my head EVERY morning, LOL

Almost in the same boat as you are. Im down 53 this year and 5 away from my goal, but I'm not happy with the fat still around the mid section. I just have to keep going, and try to build some more muscle as I burn off the remaining fat

Thats going to depend on how you feel. Do you feel like you could be doing more, going faster? Are you out of breath after each run interval? If you feel like you could be doing "more", then its time to increase some aspect.

Butter and cream.

Congrats on running your first mile! Getting through that first one without stopping is the biggest hurdle. The more you run, the easier and faster you will become.

50 pounds this year with running being about 90 - 95% of my exercise. The only way it's going to work for weight loss is to not eat back all the calories you burn on the runs. Pay attention to what your body is telling you and make sure you are eating enough protein so your body can heal after runs.

Don't push yourself too much too soon. Endurance comes with time and patience. since you have an injury, you should be consulting with your doctor about your running plans. Trying to go too far or too fast could do a lot more damage. Just to give you an idea of the course I traveled, I began (2 years ago) with just…

You've got plenty of time, you'll be ready for it!
