Lol.....no Hun... That is me in my profile pic. I'll keep it. Thank you tho.

It's on your page. Were you not aware?

I just read your profile....this is what you promote? "I eat ice-cream every day and drink copious amounts of lattes."

Thank you!

That is not what he was meaning. He was talking to me on this open forum and i understood what he was saying. No need to keep this going...

Bam!!!! Thank you!! I think we just became best friends!

Lady, seriously go away. The body composition i am wanting is not achieved by running marathons. That is what he's saying. And he is correct. Go save the world somewhere else....

The last time i was checked i was at 18%. But I had just got done running 8 miles soooo... I'm not sure how accurate the test was. After i found out being dehydrated could make the percentage higher. Thanks for your reply without the drama. ;) you are right i should just get my body fat checked.

agreed.

....O your THAT guy.

Great Question.... I like this answer best. There is no simple answer. We are all designed different. There are basic rules but what works for one person will not work for everyone. All the variables must be know before someone could answer your question. Be smart. Eat healthy. Buy a scale and measure your food correctly.…

he said body composition..... he didnt say long distance runners are fat. these lady's are skinny. There is nothing wrong with skinny but this is not the body i desire. There is no fat or muscle on these ladies. I'm still wanting the muscle.

O..I wont give up running. I just pushed a large number under the bar yesterday. 185lbs. I'm crazy strong on the bench. running and weights are equally important. I need to just figure out how many miles is too much and hit just under that ;) Thank you for your advice. I completely agree with you about everything. My goals…

Thank you for this...I will check it out.

Holy cow!! You seem to have everyone's attention.... yes you are right women do not have this issue as much as men. The tight sports bras prevent the rubbing....however for the marathon I just did I took no chances! Who ever suggested stripper pasties is smart!! ;) They have some that are nude color and thin. They are…

Yeah I agree. That was probably my problem...along with the wrong types of food. Its easy to convince yourself that a slice of pizza wont matter because of what you just got done doing.... I was only eating about 2000 calories a day....and I was burning on average 3600. This information was from my bodymedia device.

I was running about 45-50 miles a week. One long run of 16-20 miles. But a few 8-10 milers during the week too... I am only running 20-30 now that the marathon is over. This seems to be a better balance.

June 12, 2013 11:08 am aFootballLife: Thanks~ I'm sure you are correct. I will not get the results I want doing all the running i love. It just feels so good to go on a long run. . . . choices. =(

Thanks~

Congrats on your run! I am a runner too. I respect your journey! Good luck and would love to share motivation!

More good fats. As many people have suggested nuts are a great choice. Peanut butter as long as its natural. You mentioned that you are trying to lose weight. You need to add calories without adding sugars. Some of the replies have suggested sugar....that is never a good idea. Especially if you are not very active. Costco…

texans00, hello! thanks for replying! I would love to hear about your results. So that means you are just starting your training? Have you ever heard of the training plan where you run only 3 days a week? Training for a purpose is what the theory is. I think the idea is illuminating junk miles and adding more quality…

LaurenAOK, My run sessions were between 3-4 hours long not 30 min. You seem good at math.....imagine how many calories I would need to eat to gain 10lbs while burning that many calories. Thanks for your reply but I was interested in advice from someone who can relate with those numbers.

kgraves3: Thanks, that is a great question. I was at 18% body fat before starting to train. I KNOW it was fat i gained..;) lol I could tell in my belly... no more abs. =( I did not get it tested because I was afraid to know the results. I know the the calories I put in my mouth and I know the calories I was burning because…
