A treadmill is really different than running across ground too. Some treadmills just kill my knees, and some pavements make my calves scream in pain. I'd suggest trying different places and strides. There are some good sites online that talk about heel striking vs. mid-foot striking and other techno things related to…

Wow... you tried for a WHOLE DAY and now you've given up? It works for some. Not for you but that's okay. Like Mokey41 says, log your food, stay in your calorie budget. Calories in vs. calories out = the answer. If you really want answers instead of passing judgement based on your one day of testing run a search on topics…

Wow! I'm glad you didn't get hurt! It's funny to me how horses sometimes think that the strangest things are going to eat them! I haven't been on my horse lately, but I'm looking forward to it. He's enjoying the break, I think, thought he could probably go for less snow and mud!

Wow! You're doing great! And don't worry about the hair; my bestie is a dog groomer in Portland, so hey ~ you have a smile on your face. That's what matters! Great job!

Don't forget to taper off! I've been told that I should do my normal run about 3 days before the race, then a small jog around the block 2 days before, then rest the day before. Also, don't wear new shoes the day of the run, don't vary your routine, have fun, use the bathroom twice beforehand... and have fun! Also no leg…

The BMI is a fairly archaic and inaccurate indicator of your 'healthy weight'. You can read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index I'd use body fat percentage to gauge your ideal weight, and it really depends on what kind of muscle/fat ratio you prefer for yourself. There's a few good threads here…

You can get those holes resized. A few more years of healthy life is worth relearning your game, right? Enjoy your NSV; I'm sure those who bowl with you think you look great!

Sometimes our eating issues are deeper than just health. It could be the same with him. It may even be a form of depression management; he gets depressed so he eats and drinks. He might be afraid to 'live' so he 'lives large', if you know what I mean. You can't force someone to be healthy no matter how much you care about…

The Flint family should be ashamed of themselves. The deceased was traveling above the speed limit and being foolish when he died. STRAVA is a service that is world-wide, and the family's attorney is quoted as saying: [The family takes issue with this lack of accountability. “They assume no responsibility,” Kang said.…

It IS HEALTHY to eat apple cores... because of the seeds! Seeds of apples, pears, apricots, etc. contain a minute bit of cyanide in them, which helps you to fight cancers. Many who practice holistic natural eating and cures see the benefit in eating them. You'll get all kinds of people on both sides of the argument, but…

At the Sushi restaurant! YES. >.> But otherwise I go for 'riced' cauliflower or eggplant. But it won't kill you to have an occasional bite or so with a favorite meal. Of course, I'm more Primal than Paleo, and I've been known to have the occasional oatmeal cookie.

No.... When you start lifting weights you lift the same amount every time EXPECTING that you'll get better (ie different) results. When you start running you do the same thing, EXPECTING that you'll get better (different) results. When a student practices music they do the same thing.... yada yada yada. Get it? Keep going.…

Hi Everyone, Just wanted to check in and say that I'm glad to find this group on MFP. I'm in the "Happy Feet - Runners Unite!" group and the "Bicycling - Road and Mountain" group, and I've recently started using STRAVA at my husband's urging. I haven't downloaded any rides yet, but I have a few bouncy walk/runs logged.…

Don't be mad. Sometimes it's because your muscles are sore, which is a good thing; they are inflamed and a little 'bloated' because they are breaking down to get stronger! There was a great thread here about new exercises causing you to temporarily gain weight because of this. If I find it I'll link you, or you could do a…

You had your gallbladder out, so that's a factor. I also see that you eat peppers almost every day, and most of your protein is chicken. I recall hearing that people without gallbladders should stay away from chicken but I don't remember why. Hopefully tomorrow someone who has more experience than I will have better…

Baby showers are usually for the first baby where I'm from. I've never heard of people having them for the 2nd baby, and usually it's an event for the momma to be, not the dad. If you want to do something nice, everyone spring in $5 or $10 and buy them diapers, wipes, and maybe give them a gift certificate for Papa…

put [ img ] in the front of the address and [ /img ] in the back, without the spaces between the brackets and the letters. Good job on the 18 days.

With Photobucket you have to take out the %20 in the code and put a space there, and make the IMG into img. Good work on your progress!

Because his woman lifts and he doesn't, and he watches 'Dr.' Oz? LoL!

That was great! I love your synopsis! Definitely worth bookmarking!

You know what's totally awesome>? Your husband is smiling just as big in both pictures! He's totally happy to be with you no matter what! That is worthy of awe! Such a great thing to see!

Just estimate the amount of rice, salmon, and avocado, and the sea weed wrap. It's not so bad. Really!

My protein shake is my reward for working out, in addition to helping me meet my macros. And it's CHOCOLATE! Ha ha! Nothing wrong with having a bit of chocolate every day!

I've been riding since high school, but tapered off with kids and weight gain. I've got a an American quarterhorse (paint) who is very patient with me. Let's start a group! It would be great to have friends who have the same riding passion as well as wanting to get healthy! What do you say? Edit: Oh wait! There are several…

Interesting article on Sandy Hook http://memoryholeblog.com/2012/12/24/the-sandy-hook-massacre-unanswered-questions-and-missing-information/ Not to be disrespectful of the lives lost or the families and friends missing their loved ones, but anyone who thinks that a government wouldn't stage events to manipulate and then…

I cannot see the difference, but the pictures aren't very telling. Take measurements and I'm sure that will be the best indicator for yourself. Keep up the good effort! It takes time and commitment.

I'm a new runner and I hate the cold, but if I can get my fat butt out in 18 degree F weather with 5-10 mph winds... you can too. I just wish I could afford come cx-w insulation stability tights! The wind cuts through my sweats and after I'm done running my legs hurt from thawing out! The first step to get out the door is…

BMI was invented in the early 1800's as an arbitrary number based only on weight and height. We all know that the same height and weight can describe completely different body types and health conditions! A better indicator is the body fat percentage or to use the waist/height ratio to determine your 'health'. Again,…

Your story brought tears to my eyes! Inspiring!

Protein drinks. If he drinks 12 oz of milk with the protein whey mix from Walmart it's nearly 400 calories. He can also eat chicken breasts which is good for protein and calories. If he's doing cardio and weight lifting then he can burn off fat because he's still a little 'heavy', but he needs the calories and protein to…
