I have the Garmin 405 and while the price tag was significant, I can honestly say it has transformed how I run. And while some may claim the GPS can be off at the start of a run, I have never had such an issue. The 405 is kind of a compromise between button-based and touchscreen, in which you touch the bezel around the…

1.5 lbs of fat lost a week is a *LOT* and may even be unrealistic unless you are spending 1 to 2 hours per day in the gym and including a balance diet with less calories. You may initially see the scale move at a greater loss however this is usually due to a loss of water and change in sodium levels. MFP calculates your…

Egypt Central, LOVE IT! Amazing workout music, and not really a well-known band. As for mine, I like metal when I workout. Lots of songs by In Flames, Trivium, etc. #1 Pump song of all for me is Trivium - Into the Mouth of Hell, We March... but the best part is ~2:00 into the song so I've learned to time it.

I aim between 600 and 800.

I was at Bagram in 2010, lost about 25 lbs. and dropped my run time by 4:00 because with the long hours, working out to work off stress just becomes natural. And the food is great if you resist the unhealthy options like cheeseburgers offered at the DFAC for 4 meals a day... Feel free to add me, I'm back now but more than…

IMO, nothing is sexier than a woman who knows what she wants and goes straight for it.

The right shoe and the right insert was the only thing that really helped me. Boulder Running Company hooked me up... especially since it took us eight trips to the treadmill with different shoes, they were very patient. Ended up with the New Balance 1012 which are like OVERKILL motion control for severe overpronation.

You look gorgeous. Although I'm a bit worried about those tree branch snippers behind your door.

I just want to look good naked! In all seriousness, I have never felt that I love my body. Until I was around 19, I was extremely skinny, like 114 lbs while being 5'10". Within one year from 19-20 the dreaded metabolism slowdown hit me and I "ballooned" if you will to 210. I have since bounced between 210 and 180 several…

I've no idea as to the scientific proof of either method, but my trainer swears by weights first, cardio second. However if you split up the workouts I know several people who swear by cardio in the morning, weights after work or what have you. http://sportsmedicine.about.com/od/training/a/ExerciseOrder.htm I agree with…

I ran a half marathon recently and had lots of issues with blisters, but discovered they were actually my socks and not my shoes. What kind/ material of socks are you wearing? I was getting blisters on 8 mi training runs so bad that I couldn't run on them; I tried a pair of Balega cushioned socks and ran my 13 mi a week…

Wow, what an enormous difference already!!!

Search on Google for a "RMR" or "BMR" calculator. At 80 kg (176 lbs) I'd imagine yours is higher than 1200 calories. Your RMR is the minimum amount of calories your body needs per day to keep from entering survival mode, in which it thinks you're starving and holds onto fat for survival that it ordinarily wouldn't. This is…
