When I do run with water, I use a two bottle belt or a backpack. Both of mine are by Nathan and I find both very comfortable - I barely notice them. I wish it was a little easier to suck out of the hose on the pack, but that's probably true of every camelbak.

124.27 mph? Wow, you are very aerodynamic! :) Great work!

It can definitely be done, you deserve it.

How long have you been working at it?

Pick your favorite show and get fast food on that night. Otherwise break the cycle. Not to be mean, but sitting around watching reality TV every night won't do anyone any favors. Find something else to do the other nights, and hopefully the association you have with reality TV and fast food will go away since your routine…

I'm sorry, but I'm confused. It says you just joined this month, and we are less than 2 weeks into the month. It says you've lost 10 pounds out of your 95 pound goal - that seems great for 2 weeks work, how can you already be out of motivation? Isn't seeing the number on the scale change motivation? Isn't all the stuff you…

I'm doing the same thing, first marathon is in March. I'm continuing to lift, in fact I'm starting a new lifting routine (StrongLifts 5x5). Your trainer is right, they are working at cross purposes, but it doesn't mean you won't get a benefit from both. I know I won't put on as much muscle lifting as I would as if I cut my…

@mustgetmuscle - awesome transformation for both of you!

Great job, very inspiring!

What if I'm only like 23 on the inside?

Just make sure you wait until it is ripe. The green skin should start to turn dark and it should feel soft yet firm - too soft and it is probably too ripe and will have black spots inside. But don't let your first avocado experience be with a hard unripe one because it will probably not leave a good impression.

Online dating... Give it a try if you haven't already. At least you are connecting with other people who are actively looking, and you get to assess some level of compatibility before you even talk to them. It's how I met my wife and I've got lots of other friends who have had success with it too.

As someone currently recovering from a herniated disc due to deadlifts, this is good advice. My primary problem is I have overall lack of flexibility that prevents me from getting my deadlifts (and squats) all the way down. I am physically unable to get them down all the way without rounding my back. I'm personally staying…

I second this. I guess it is possible, but I only burn about 100 cals/mile running, I would burn a good bit less per mile biking. I am pretty fit though, but I just want to make sure you don't end up eating back too many exercise calories and negating some of that hard work. If you have access to a HRM, you should wear it…

Same problem here, I hadn't noticed but my wife said "everyone" thought I was looking too thin in my face and that it was making me look older. I've ended up putting some weight back on (about 10 pounds) and lost a lot of definition in my abs. Not sure what I'm going to do from here. Sucks getting older. For comparison -…

For both the website and the phone app, I should be able to type in a few letters of the food and it should show me a list of matching items that I have used previously. Sorting through the "frequent" and "recent" lists are a pain. If I want to eat eggs for dinner, I should be able to enter "egg" and it will show me the…

Mine is 40, my doc loves it. It's a good thing if it is because of exercise and a strong cardiovascular system.

Heck yeah you can do it! I signed up for my first 5k last year and was freaking out about that, ran it a month later in the beginning of Oct with no problems. Then I decided to see what I could do so I went out and ran 6 miles a couple weeks later with no problems, then ran 10 miles a couple times, then 13.1 on my own on…

@mollyvon 27 and great smile

I get mine a little tastier, I use vanilla, cherry, or cake vodka. I also prefer Coke Zero :)

That is an amazing change in only 5 months, congratulations!

You don't have to eat super clean, you are better off doing something that you can stick with. It might take a little longer, but at least you will get there and not give up.

+1 Wowza!

I didn't completely think this through last night, but now that I have I understand better that by carrying more muscle I could still carry more pounds of fat and still keep the same low body fat %. So hopefully the additional pounds of fat would fill out my face a little more, but the low body fat % would allow me to keep…

Thank you everyone for the encouragement :)

I am actually working towards this. I think I might be something of a hard gainer, although to be honest I've been on a calorie deficit while lifting so that obviously makes it difficult to gain. I'm a little worried that it is the low body fat % that is making my face look more aged, so I'm not sure that adding overall…

Speaking on behalf of all men - we love you ladies too! We should hang out some time or something!

True The next person is single

Maybe if you are more or less happy with your body as is, then maybe you are doing it right. Enjoy your life, get your exercise like you are, enjoy time with your friends. You say you are losing a couple pounds a month doing it this way, so by the end of the year you will be near your goal. Maybe the sacrifices to get…
