I'm thoroughly convinced if I had not moved out of the gym to the outside, I'd of given up cardio 100% by now. Find an activity you enjoy and go for it. Some activities can be fun inside - indoor volleyball, etc... Depends on your interests.

This.. 100 percent. Right next door to Carmines is John's Pizza.

Almost 50 lbs heavier in mine. I've always expect issues but never have them. Not for alcohol purchases, I look way older than 21. I've always expected issues with TSA while going through security. Haven't experienced any though, which is a good thing.

I searched high and low in my area as well (including local Fleet Feet) and turned up empty. I run alone. I suppose since I end up going out last minute it probably is for the best. Wish it wasn't this way, but it is. I've learned to accept it. Would certainly never consider NOT doing it because of not having a partner. I…

I used to run with music, I now run without anything in my ears. I actually find it more pleasant that way.

Completely and totally agree. I think sometimes people confuse motivation versus inspiration. I'm not motivated by my friends or anyone else. Likewise, I sincerely doubt I motivate them. I am however sometimes inspired by their actions which may or may not motivate me to take some sort of action. If you are not motivated…

Never liked it. Too many local Italian restaurants where I live that puts OG to shame.

My favorites as well. Only sock I wear when it's not freezing cold.

I generally do some form of cardio 5x per week. I run 2-3x (12-18 miles total) and then either do indoor or (most recently) outdoor cycling. I used to do a lot of rowing which I do very sporadically these days. It has to be fun for me or forget it - won't do it. I refuse to do it just to burn calories. I also balance it…

Soon to be 51. I've been here a while. Anyone can feel free to send me a request if they would like to. I do like interaction and mutual support. Not a collector so please do not add me for that reason.

Did wonders for the homemade sloppy joes I made in the crockpot for tonight's dinner. For weight loss - a total farce.

I'll just toss my ideas in (which may be duplication from already stated). Let's start with before you ran.. Good shoes.. Are you in the best shoes for you? Did you go to the local running store and get assessed? If not, this can cause pain in various forms. Perhaps not lower back though but still worth asking. Proper…

Just stumbled on this group. Actually, don't have too much experience with the group's here. Curious to see though.

Fitbit Blaze = junk in my opinion.

This is sound advice in every aspect in my view. Wish more would follow it.

This is like asking.. If people are so overweight, why do stores sell so much food?? Financial knowledge is available for free, just need to be motivated to seek it out. Just as weight loss knowledge is available for free, just need to be motivated to seek it out. Debit loads mostly become an issue of personal risk…

I tried my first at 48 and it was Hammer/Chisel. That led me to 21 Day Fix Extreme and Body Beast. I got a ton from all of them and still do.

Absolutely zero calories from the workout. Didn't work then - doesn't work now... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iet33fqk9OE

"HAVE to eat clean to lose the weight?" Hell no... I didn't when I was losing and I don't now that I'm in maintenance. Severely reduced sodium due to BP issues which is a separate thing entirely.

I actually meant large chains... sorry I implied and didn't state it.

You're in NYC. There's no good reason to eat a meal at any chain. Walking a million steps a day is not uncommon if you avoid the cabs / buses / subway... within reason of course... If you run, bring your shoes and run through Central Park.

I have a Spinner NXT and some of the Spinning Series DVDS. I ride 2 to 3 times each week and love it.

Fitbit Blaze=worthless to me. Won mine in a contest. Gave it a try for a while. Inaccurate at best. Gave it to my daughter. I know many swear by these gadgets and if it works for them, so be it. Who am I to say differently. For me, an utter waste of time. At the end of the day, I'm going to do what exercise I have in mind…

Didn't work then - won't work now. People continuously try to find the easy way out. There isn't one. Put in the effort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iet33fqk9OE

I have done 21DFX but can't compare since I've never done 21DF. I enjoyed it and still use a few of them in my rotation. I've also done Hammer/Chisel and Body Beast. I've enjoyed them immensely, though what I mostly do now is Body Beast.

I'm not great at anything I do, but have learned to accept it and enjoy it on my own terms.

Almost all of my runs occur as the sun is coming up. Be sure to wear reflective gear!!!
