I use my Garmin to show my pace I have set for a run.

63 years old here and my weight loss was from cutting out all alcohol (no beer, wine, bourbon), went vegetarian for about a year, walk at least 3 miles a day at one walk, run for 30 minutes each morning 6 days then take a day off (that is about 3.2 miles for me). went from 185 to 165 in about 6-8 months and maintained that…

Same here! Gout hurts worse than anything I have ever experienced. Dr said watch the alcohol and all the "purines" I consumed. Keeping a log I found what did or did not cause a flare up. Two years now no alcohol and almost 100% plant based diet. Good news is all the sugar in alcohol is now avoided! Stop drinking and you…

Had to wear a suit last week and all I had was from 2015 and it still fit!

I agree with some others. Every morning for my 3 miles I just have a coffee about 30 minutes to an hour beforehand. If I do a half marathon then it is a mandarin orange and half an English muffin with peanut butter. half way through the half another small mandarin. anything more than that I feel sick or get cramps.

Garmin 45 here and love it and it was pretty cheap and does all I need including water resistant. I used it Kayak and swimming in ocean and it did not die.

If you can, meet with a dietician and nutritionist. That will help determine what you really need to consume and in a healthy manner. You want make certain you don't starve yourself or skip out some important mineral etc. Also, keep tabs with your Dr as they do know what is safe. Then as others said make sure you still…

for everyday running (jog I guess) I am a huge fan of Brooks Ghost. Started with Ghost 6 and now they are at Ghost 15. I find the neutral fit and open toe box work great for me. I buy the "last year" model online at a huge discount. For anything indoor like Yoga, Tai Chi, or some flex and strength work I use Merrill…

Here is my two cents: Weight loss technically is very easy when you think about the basic math of calories in and calories burned. It is the mental game of keeping at it that is hard. So watching what you eat is only part of it. Eating healthy is very good (watching sugar levels, cholesterol, fats, and so on) regardless of…

Wow, that is a lot to handle and honestly my first reaction was worrying about weight loss (of around 14.5 lbs) should be the least of your worries. Keeping en eye on diet and health is a good thing to keep your mind off of everything else. Stay positive and I hope you have someone close that can help you along. Strength…

I do 3.2 in the early morning 6 days a week. If it takes me 30 minutes, fine. If it takes me more or less, fine. My goal is at least 3 miles and at least 30 minutes of that activity. I am more about the 30 minutes than the distance.

I agree with the majority here. Just get active in any smart and safe way you can. Talk to your Dr to discuss your plan as you may have some underlying health risks etc. If your company has a health program they may have access to a nutritionist or dietician. They can set you up with a program. Weight loss or weight…

Love my forerunner 45 and I also have the vivofit 4. Vivofit 4 is hard to see so I use it now for kayaking just as a watch. Forerunner 45 was inexpensive and for running and walks it is awesome.

I have a coffee when I wake up (no added sugar) then after about 15 minutes or so I do a run. I at times bring some seedless oranges or those mini ones you put in kids lunches. That helps get me going. I don't "work out" per se so I really don't worry about getting all carb'd up etc.

Just my usual morning "run". 3.2 miles, about 28 minutes. Will get a walk in later. 62 yrs old 169 lbs
