I haven't tried Thorlos, but Swiftwick Pulse and Drymax Hyper Thin socks are significantly better than the competing Smart Wool PhD ultra-light socks. My three Marathons were run in Switfwick Pulse Zero socks. Actually, I think all of the races I've done have been in those socks since I found them, which was unfortunately…

I do weigh every day. I do fluctuate, but I can generally place blame for my weight change on either a new workout, sodium, eating a large volume of food before, or being sick.

If you don't have a food scale, you should get one. That is a more accurate way to measure your food. You should also weigh prepackaged items and items that list servings in a volume or count along with a weight.

My 10 week average is 75 and my 52 week average is 66. I have my second marathon this weekend. I started running in Oct. 2011 and my first marathon was in Nov. 2012.

The caveman diet involves eating a lot of tubers, though you do get to eat some meat if you can kill it with a stick or find it already dead.

So if you're too lazy to look something up, it must be wrong? Interesting strategy.

I do have to wonder how you're measuring your body fat mass.

I don't really find meals with 1-3k calories to be that extreme, honestly.

I'm running toward my second and third marathons in March. The Albany Marathon and the Georgia Marathon.

I drink a lot of unnecessary water, too. I have to use the restroom pretty frequently when I do.

If the numbers you gave are accurate, your son is obese. What do you want us to tell you?

The main difference between tracking body mass and body fat mass is that body mass can be accurately measured.

I think you can do it. I used a Pfitzinger plan from Advanced Marathoning for my first marathon, which was coincidentally almost exactly the same amount of time after I started C25k. I started C25k in October 2011 and ran my first marathon on Nov. 10, 2012. I'd recommend buying that book and while you're waiting to get to…

TDEE BMR is just one of the components of TDEE. The calculations are guesses. I think it's a good idea to start with the recommended calories on MFP and then fine tune based on results over month long periods of time.

If you are not eating enough veggies, then eat more. However, if raising your HDL is the only reason you're supposed to be changing your diet, does the doctor have any reason to ask you to do that? http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/17/health/research/hdl-good-cholesterol-found-not-to-cut-heart-risk.html?_r=0

If I eat before a run, it's cereal or oatmeal. Starting about 3 hours before my last half marathon, I ate two servings of Oatmeal with a serving of Craisins and drank maybe 10 oz of water and 24 oz of coffee. I also ate a Clif Gel just before the race with 4 oz or so of water and ate one more Clif Gel at mile 8. The gels…

I started C25k in October 2011. I used my phone for it. Since then I have run 3 half marathons and one marathon along with a bunch of 5ks. I had never run more than a couple of minutes at a time prior to starting the program.

I have a bunch of C9 shirts from Target, but I have gotten better stuff for cheaper at TJ Maxx. The ones around here have frequently had fitted shirts from Hind and Layer 8, both of which seem to be a little better than C9.

I haven't found it necessary to carb-load or have a long taper before a half marathon. 7 days before my last half I ran 22 miles then tapered from Mon.-Sat. before the race.

It could also depend on when you weighed yourself and what you ate beforehand. I fluctuate more than 5 lbs in one day pretty often just from hydration and food in my digestive tract.

My first marathon is in a week, so I can't say if my plan has been a success, but I'm using a plan from Pfitzinger's Advanced Marathoning book. I did get a PR in a HM that I did as a goal/tuneup race a couple weeks ago.

Look at Neutral and Stability shoes, but avoid motion control shoes. Try the shoes on. Take a test run if you can. If you feel OK running around in them, they're probably OK. Make sure you have a thumb width or so between your longest toe and the end and that the sides don't squeeze your feet.…

A lot of women have excessive body fat below 25 BMI.

I eat a lot, but I'm still hungry most of the time.

Like KarCrib said, people don't really hate running. They hate the way they feel when they run too fast. They just don't realize they're running too fast.

While it is certainly healthy to drink one or two drinks every day, you should count the calories just as you would any other food.

I am still satisfied with Body Glide for clothes rubbing, but I put Blue Steel Anti-Chafe on my feet.

I am going to quit recording food between Nov. 10 and January 2.

I don't pay much attention to my macros, but after looking at the pie chart on my phone, I appear to have ratios about the same as yours. Of course, the phone doesn't have an alcohol macro slice. That would be a few %, too.
