  • If you ignore last week's number, then you've gone from 162 to 156 in 2 weeks, which is a huge loss. Keep at it.
    in So pissed! Comment by polz7 April 2012
  • I feel like most people will say weights or mix but I personally like cardio and hates weights so for me it's always cardio! Nothing like a nice run outside on a beautiful day. So my vote is do whatever you enjoy more so you can stick with it. ETA: vividsugar, I'm drooling over your profile pic... mmm fruit!

  • Local running store is the best but they are expensive. www.runningwarehouse.com is my personal favorite - they have online gait analysis where you can upload a video of you running, they have a shoe selector, and they are always the cheapest with no taxes and free 2 day shipping and returns. There are also always coupons…

  • Muesli (mix of oats, cereals, dried fruit, nuts) - just tried this stuff this weekend and I'm in love. 1/2 cup has 220 cal, that's before adding milk. Add banana to it to increase the calories. You can also have whatever normal breakfast you like and add a protein milkshake (I like strawberry whey powder, milk, banana =…

    in Dear pavement - A nonrunner's running NSV! Comment by polz7 March 2012
  • I've heard that the reason most people don't like veggies is because they are used to eating too much processed crap and too much sugar and if you cut that stuff out of your diet for a while and then try veggies again, then you'll love them. I've never had this issue but I did used to love sugary soda & snacks when I was…

  • Find a running buddy and go slow. And then go slower than that. Or preplan your route (mapmyrun.com), learn where every 0.25mile marker is, figure out how long it should take you to run it, and then check your watch when you get there and slow down if you need to. Or if you have access to a tredmill, use it to learn what a…
    in How do you pace Comment by polz7 March 2012
  • When I started running (not too long ago) I used to push it hard and then pass out on the floor. I would sometimes get sick and my vision would go blurry. I hated it. Then my marathon running boyfriend I told me I was doing it wrong. I was going too fast and tiring myself out. So he made me run slower and I ran further…

  • Sign up for the couch to 5K program or something similar. It will have a structured plan for you to follow every day. Also sign up for www.randomabs.com emails. This site will email you every day and tell you to do certain ab work outs. Tell yourself that both of these programs (or anything else you sign up to do) are your…

  • by that formula, I should be 125.8lbs (22% body fat).... this is a bit discouraging, I didn't think I needed to lose another 10 pounds.
    in What should my goal weight be? Comment by polz7 March 2012
  • Neither. MFP overestimates and the elliptical assumes you're a certain weight. Both are wrong. I've found this site to be more accurate. http://www.self.com/calculatorsprograms/calculators

  • Funny you mention the running thing. My first 5K was at 9:23's and I'm aiming for 8:45's for my second coming up in 2 weeks. Not sure how realistic I'm being considering I'm giving myself 2 weeks to train but we'll see. I'd like to be comfortable at 8 or below eventually though. I guess I'll go and figure out what all…

    in What should my goal weight be? Comment by polz7 March 2012
  • Lifting is for some reason my worst nightmare. I can run and do work out videos but for some reason I'm dreading lifting weights. Just seems so boring. But after reading all the responses looks like I'll have to start even a little bit if I want to get toned. Darn, I was hoping there would be a way around it. :P
    in What should my goal weight be? Comment by polz7 March 2012
  • Yes! Abs would be lovely. Thanks. And thanks everyone. Think I'll stick around the same weight (or another 5 lbs or so) and just keep working out
    in What should my goal weight be? Comment by polz7 March 2012
  • That's my boyfriend says but I was hoping to have a number to aim for. Maybe you are both right and that's not the way to go about it.
