  • actually plenty of stuff on the net about training. but 26+ miles is a lot for the human body to do and the folks that train over 30 miles a week do the best biology wise. look up training plan in google and see if you find something that catches your eye. i saw one on there for duathalon running and bikeing they do a 12…

  • It was a hard thing for me to go into a fitness club the first time. honestly everyone there is there for the same reason as you so why would they mess with you? people pretty much only talk with who came with them, their trainer, or are you done kind of stuff. and i do the same thing myself. i walk in and i think about my…

  • I had as similar story mine started in 2002 and i found this site not to long ago so i am hoping that it will help. The food diary feature is the best one i have seen so that a real bonus. just remember that it takes time and hard work.

  • well first off do you have a good scale? they have some really cool ones out there now with body fat analysis built in. do you need weights a yoga mat or step setup? you probably do but just tossing it out there in case you were missing some equipment.

I can't really think of anything except gravy. just fat and flour so yeah no more of that but i do miss that or orange flavored cinnamon rolls from pilsbury kind of a toss up. what i don't miss that an even bigger question. i think chocolate would be the thing i just…

  • Good Job, one day at a time just like everything else. on those hard days that you think you can't do it, think about today and know that you can.

  • They also have the taco bell fresco meals. they take off the cheese and sauce and put in pico de gallo. the burrito supreme fresco style clock in at 360 calories. and a fresco crunchy taco is 290 so a number one with a diet pepsi or water would set you back 650. not bad for fast food if its your only option.
    in Under 500 calorie resturant meals Comment by gsschulte December 2008
  • Honestly it took about 20~30 pounds for people to start noticing. About the same time its time to by new clothes. I dropped about 2 (42 down to 38) sizes before anyone that sees me on a daily basis really noticed. The less you see people the more they notice the change. heck I see me everyday and I still look fat to me but…
    in When did people start noticing? Comment by gsschulte December 2008
  • Well basically you need some calories just to make the blood move around you and to breathe and the like. So the basic formula is your weight times 11. so for 325 its 3575 to maintain your weight. so if you cut that down by 500(3500 calories for a pound of fat roughly) you can lose 1 pound per week. is it just that easy.…

  • I have only noticed them when I eat closer than 2 hours before I get on the treadmill. other than that I never run into it. Not sure if you have had the same experience.
    in side stitches Comment by gsschulte December 2008
  • well logically yes you would burn more just because you have to keep yourself erect which takes balance so your core is working all day. would it be significant? well maybe i work one job at a desk sitting and one job working kitchen work so its hard for me to say about just standing but i would imagine that you would get…

  • For the soreness protein will not help. Doing the same exercise with little resistance or fewer reps will or a good streching routine will ease it. It will help move the lactic acid, that your muscles built up from working gycolene burn and protein exchange, out . protein powder can help with the full recovery process as…
    in Protein Comment by gsschulte December 2008
  • It all really depends on two things. Are you weight training and are you male. If yes to both you need something around .6~.9 grams per pound of body weight. I run about 150 grams of protein per day or else I feel bad. I probably should be getting 180ish but I cannot fit that in and keep the calories down at the same time.…
