I'm just a dumb a**. Can I still join?

Well Said! Your body has no energy to burn the calories. Definitely need to eat more.

Thanks! Great info!

I did program my height and weight. I think that makes sense that it is for cardio because that number was closer to being accurate during the run. I always under-estimate but these numbers are ridiculous. I did not use them in my log as that is out of control. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll shop around!

Thanks! I'm reading reviews online and everyone raves about the taste. I wonder if mine is seriously expired. They do not sell much supplements at my gym so maybe it's been in that cabinet for a while. I want good quality, but it has to taste good.

3 more miles. Need some big runs this weekend to catch up. Thanks!

So Funny. I just had a long, serious talk about someone at my work who has never seen that movie. I'm no expert, but do you try interval training? That is pretty good for getting the metabolism working at a higher rate. Confuse the metabolism, get it working! AT the very least my post will bump this to the top and a…

No I never do eat beforehand. That's a good point. Usually it is the first thing I do in the morning. maybe a glass of water and then get going. I force myself to eat after. I have a protein shake and try to put some food in my body. Thanks.

Eric - Thanks! Great advice......could not read the article - got it blocked at work. I emailed it to myself and will read at home. Appreciate your advice. Makes sense on bulking or cutting. I hear ya. I'll have to check out that article tonight and come up with a better game plan. PJ- I am sort of doing it on my own. I…

AC/DC in Chicago. Oye!

Hi. I am in the same spot. I hate taking my picture - have very few of them anywhere. I think Ksarkati gives good advice about taking them more frequently, I should try that too. In my experience, I never think I look good enough. It has to do with the image in my head, even as my body changes, I still see the "old me". Or…

Thanks! I spoke to three other personal trainers today and told me the same thing. Good to know.

Cool I got on! Got a long way to go. Good start today. 5 miles - getting back on track! Thanks for the late add!

I have been really off track. Not even recording lately as I have been too focused on lifting. I ran 3.5 today and 2.0 yesterday. After that, I really do not remember. I would like to try for 100 still - it would be a challenge, but I would love to try.

I am in the same position. I am trying to add weight, but I was told the body can only take on so much protein at once - then it turns to fat. I have been mixing two scoops of whey protein into a shake every day. Should I only be using one scoop? I run for about 30 minutes a day and lift for 50-60 minutes. Along with…

Not sure. It is frustrating. I just put everything under Cardio to help me keep track of how much calories I am burning. I do the same thing. So if anyone knows, I would like to know also.

Wow. Beautiful

You have a nice smile and look very happy. Genuinely happy. And nothing is more important than that!

Not sure how I feel about my most recent post being under "Single Men". New to this site. Feel free to add me as a friend anyone.

Hi Anya! I think everyone gives really good advice here. I am not one to give relationship advice as I am also very shy and lack confidence. But I do know if a girl is shy, will not smile back at me, or looks the other way, I take it as she is not interested.....which very well could be the case. Anyway, you look great and…

Wow! You look great. Such great results in a short amount of time. Keep it up! Very inspiring.

Wow! Great work! Keep it up.

Can I still get in on this? I know it is late. I was running 150-160/month last summer but have been more focused on weight training and losing my motivation to run. I would love to get in on this group to help push myself. Let me know if I can join this late. Thanks! Brian

HI, There are a lot of good exercises you can do without weights. I'll give you a few ideas as well as an article. -Push ups are great upper body workouts and you can add variations with wide, standard, military, staggered grips, etc. The nice thing is you can basically do maximum reps and keep a log and try to do more…

Also looking for friends. Feel free to add me.
