  • Looks good, Go for it and tweak it as you need to make it right for you.
  • I found I have to redo the goal every time I lose a few pounds. I just dropped from 190 to 188, redid my goal leaving everything the same and it dropped my recommended calories from 1890 to 1870. My original goal was 180 but I am thinking of dropping it to 175. I am 5' 10" 55 years old. I am a runner and I think being a…

  • Yes we tend to believe what we want to. It's s shame studies vary so much. I can only go with my own results. I took a break from running due to Plantar Fasciitis and got to 218. I started counting calories running in the mornings and I am now 188. The biggest change has been my pudgy belly, nearly gone. I have gone from…
  • There are studies that prove your point too so who is right? I get up and run, then get breakfast. It fits my schedule and starts my day off right.
  • A 2010 study published in "The Journal of Physiology" suggests that performing cardio exercise such as running for 30 minutes or less on an empty stomach, burns more fat than running with a full tummy. Though the reasons for this aren't fully understood, it is thought that more fat is burned during fasting running because…
  • Taco bell power burrito minus the sour cream and avocado ranch dressing: 41Carb, 15 fat 27 protein 400 calories. The fat and protein keep me full until dinner with no snacking. It has guacamole which boosts the fat and keeps it plenty moist without the sour cream and avocado ranch. just an idea when you are out and about…
  • Too put this all into perspective: MFP says I should aim to eat 1870 calories to lose 1-2 lbs/week. I am 55 and currently weigh 188. I ran this morning and my watch said I burned 555 calories. Therefore I can eat 2425 and still lose 1-2 lbs per week. I can eat quite a lot and still not get to 2425. This will make my…
  • I ran the US Air Force Half Marathon many years ago. I have no desire to do a full, I can't even imagine running for over 4 hours. I like 5k races. I can run many each year and it doesn't take all my time to train.
  • But you resisted the donuts, your self control is mighty, or did you just not have any money with you? :smiley:
  • Here is a good article on what exercise can do for you: https://runnersworld.com/health-injuries/a25400990/running-anti-aging-effects/?source=nl&utm_source=nl_rnw&utm_medium=email&date=120518&src=nl&utm_campaign=15310353&utm_term=New%20Day%2016
  • If you make no lifestyle changes then this will just be a temporary fix, I've seen people do this and lose a ton of weight only to gain most of it back many years later. I have also seen it cause health issues, like bowel obstruction.
  • I have a pair of Brooks Ghosts I run in, does that count? :smiley:
  • Wow, you really stink
  • If you go to the doctor make sure they specialize in sports injuries. I went to a foot doc and was told I should not run because it was bad for my arthritis. Its the opposite, running is good for arthritis. Sitting and doing nothing is bad for arthritis.
  • I am 188 and I try to eat 1870. I run 5 days a week and weight lift 2. I am losing 1 lb per week. I have also adjusted my calories down as I lost weight. Keep at it and it will kick in, Instead of the scale have you seen any differences how your pants fit? I noticed using a different notch in my belt before I saw any…
  • (This is the problem. People will run 3 nights a week and expect it to have a significant and noticeable impact and it just wont. 700 calories burned over those 3 running sessions is 1/5th of a pound assuming that the additional energy expenditure results in zero additional calories eaten. Add a slightly larger serving of…
  • If you love to run then run. Some love it, others hate it. We runners can say our sport is other sports punishment. It will burn more calories than doing nothing. The best exercise is the one you love to do. If you do not love it then you won't consistently do it. One more thing, you can be skinny and unhealthy. To be…
  • Reducing inflation with drugs will hinder recovery. The soreness increases blood flow and aides in recovery. Drugs should only be used for severe cases. If drugs are required then you probably pushed too hard. Stretching and massage are far more beneficial. Just my two cents worth($10 with inflation) :-) Look up foods that…
  • Good job ladies, I raised three daughters and I'm so glad none of them are hung up on their looks. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.
  • VS show this weekend was the lowest watched ever. Their stock price is tanking. The world is not interested any longer and this is a good thing.
  • You don't have bad knees, you just have tight muscles.
  • To lose weight and keep it off you have to change. Change is hard but if you start and stick with it then it gets easier. Counting calories is no fun, but now that I've been doing this for several months it is more habit now. Fad diets that have you eating in a whole different way are not sustainable. Even if it worked and…
  • If you can't get out of the sports car, then don't buy one!
  • Depends on how far the person chasing me can run!
  • Massage the area of the pain, There is poor blood flow in this area which hinders healing. Massaging tis area will increase blood flow and help healing.
  • Don't walk around barefoot or in shoes that don't support your heal, like flipflops. I bought a pair of Asics Gel Nimbus 18s. They were super soft and supported my arch. I stopped running and tried to stay of my feet as much as possible. It took almost a year before it healed. I went to a doc, but the quack just told me I…
  • All good information here. Make sure you listen to your body, stretch and use a roller to roll your muscles. Do not ignore pains and how you feel. Good sleep is essential to recovery as is eating more protein to rebuild muscles. I would recommend setting the treadmill at 1% incline to help mimic outdoor running. You can…
