I am part of an active bicycling group. That doesn't mean that everyone is perfectly satisfied with their weight/fitness. However, exercise does give you an additional "lever" to manage things. A couple of the guys in the group are experimenting with intermittent fasting. Their interpretation of that is to eat whatever…

It's always best to confront. As bad as it looks, there may be a reasonable explanation. If someone misunderstood your motivation for doing something, I think you would want a chance to set the record straight.

It would be normal, in my experience. I think you are on the right track, as far as understanding the nature of the rapid weight loss.

When I read some of these posts, I am reminded how complex a woman's relationship to her own body is.

I make no effort to spare calories because I prefer the authenticity. We…

It's hard to offer any solution without some generalization working its way in. In my case, I have been a decent runner, but was a more successful "generalist". That is, I never won my age group in a marathon, but I won my age group several times in half and full Ironman races. To your point, it all depends on your goals.…

We have the opposite problem in the south; we are driven indoors in trhe summer. You can acclimate to it, but it takes allot of focus and most of us have jobs and families to look after. I am 50 years old, but in a former life, I crosstrained allot. Do they even use that term anymore? It meant that I was always ready to…
