Guinness actually has a fairly low percentage of alcohol (I think around 4%). Also, the higher the percentage, the higher the calories, when it comes to beers (generally speaking).

I used to drink my coffee with two creams and two sugars and just gradually weaned myself off of it. Two creams one sugar, then one cream one sugar, etc. I used sugar free syrups for a little bit but after a while I found they tasted too artificial. I now drink it black. Makes life pretty easy for me :) We use a blend of…

Two egg muffins (made on the weekend for the week) and rye bread or english muffin. If you google egg muffins (or search on here I'm sure) you'll find loads of different recipes. We also have a breakfast sandwich maker, that recreates the sandwiches you'd get at a fast food place. It's made by Hamilton Beach.

Where in your original post does it state how much you were eating? All you stated was your stats.

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I will take a look at your spreadsheet tonight (can't access google docs at work). The suggestions you have given definitely make sense. I currently use my Garmin to estimate calories for running. I do ensure I regularly update my weight on the device, so I'm hoping it's fairly…

Don't ever use fresh eggs. Put eggs in a pot, cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and remove from heat and cover, for 20 minutes. Rinse under cold water and let them sit in the cold water (I usually use a strainer and then let them sit in the strainer back in the pot). Once they are cool to the touch put them in the…

What size of crockpot do you use to make this?

If your daily goal was 1200 calories a day and you were running for 2+ hours a few times a week, I would say yes, eat back your exercise calories. 1600 calories is a reasonable goal, and I think an activity such as couch to 5K isn't a huge calorie burn. If it were me, I would not eat back my exercise calories. I find it's…

Hi Bean! I'd love to be your friend. :)

I am planning on starting on the 16th as well. I've had the DVDs for a bit but it's taken me a while to get organized to start.

I'm planning on starting on Monday as well. I was going to start this week but I just did a race on the weekend (60k) and my toes got beat up and my legs were trashed so I figured I'd give myself a week of recovery. Looking forward to starting on Monday! I'm planning on getting up earlier and doing it first thing in the…

"Also about 4 years ago after I had my 3rd baby I weighed about 220 lb and went on a diet that was lower than 1200 calories per day and had absolutely no problem whatsoever losing the weight within 6 months time...I went from 205 (to be fair..baby weight) to about 150 in 6 months eating less than 1200 cal per day, lifting…

I've heard that you can take a can of frosting and whip it with beaters so that it gets more air in it. You get the same amount of coverage for less frosting.

Break it down ingredient by ingredient. Guestimate the serving size of each ingredient. There's way too many variables to just guess on the total of the whole thing. Was there a lot of chicken? Just a little bit? etc.

Thanks rybo, that pic is from a couple of years ago, where I'm about 30 lbs lighter. I have it up as some inspiration to get back there, and lower.

Holy crap that's low! :laugh: Thanks for your help and for the formula!

I think you have some options other than B&Bs. I just googled for about 30 seconds and found the Hermann Motel. Room rates $55.95 to $114.95. There's also the Hermann House Inn. $105-$175. The Vinchester Inn shows rates under $100 in January, may be higher later in the year.

The Salomons look good. The only thing that I dont like about them is the laces, but you could change them out. I don't know if you have them available but check out LaSportivas if you can. They are a decent shoe. Also I'm not sure what New Balance has right now for trail. They tend to change up their shoes quite…

If you freeze firm or extra firm tofu, then thaw it, and squeeze the water out of it, it will completely change the texture and you may find you enjoy it more.

Voted. Good luck to you!

Fresh fruit. Low sugar jam. I sometimes add a bit of vanilla extract.

What about drinking it with room temperature water?

Okay based on your experience then I would say it will be tough but it's do-able. Just make sure you listen to your body. Good luck to you!

Do you have any running experience? If you are truly starting from scratch 11 months is not a lot of time to build to a marathon. If you are super-fit because of other activities it's possible but if not I would say you are risking injury. You might want to start with smaller goals and work your way up (ie. train for a 5K…

If your job isn't a physically active job I would put your activity as sedentary and follow the calories for that. Then input your actual activity (using a heart rate monitor for cardio based activities) to determine your actual burn and you can eat some or all of those calories as a bonus. If you're putting yourself as…

Oh my god I would so love to go trail running in Britain.

I try and split it up. I do my strenght training in the morning before work and then my run in the evening after work. I find it gives my muscles a bit of a break. Sometimes it's a bit of a slog at the start but once I get moving it's not too bad.

LaSportiva if you can find them has several different models for both men and women. So does New Balance.
