I lost 65 pounds over 9 months 5 years ago and stayed in the 165-170 band since, dipping only occasionally into the next lower 5 pound band to race (marathons). While lifting will certainly tone; it's not necessarily as high a fat burner as cardio. That said, whether your routine is cardio like mine, or weights where you…

You can wear your running shoes to and from a running activity; but generally...use your running shoes for running. The general believe is your shoes will start to lose their cushioning and stride corrective ability when you reach something north of 300 miles. I recommend to people I coach keeping miles south of 450.…

A few comments about running times: I run, I coach, and I drink beer. There's a lot of factors that lend to slowing times over a span of time. So far as the beer...the carbs analogy isn't helpful. While it is heavier in carbs than protein, a beer before a run is probably a wash as the calories from the carbs in it aren't…

All great advice. The key to not getting injured is to not introduce too many stressors at the same time. A stressor is more distance, faster speed, or and increase in the degree of difficulty, like Hills. Your "base" Miles or Kilometers, is the distance that you can simply slide on a pair of running shoes and go run…

Swonn, my left knee was flaring during long (10+ mile) runs. Specific pinpoint pain at 3:00 on my knee cap (front view). It eventually worked down into my 5 mile runs. Saw my ortho last Tuesday and he diagnosed Bursitis. He said it'll clear on it's own RICE'ing, exercise, stretching and massage/PT; but, gave me a shot of…

The notion of "No pain, no gain" is that...a notion. A couple of things on your thread... Observation: 1) Regardless of your age...If you're not used to vigorous exercise and jumped head first into the deep end shredding; you HAVE to let your muscles adapt to what you're now asking them to do, and let them recover while…

You only thought yours was funny... I weigh in every day when trying to adjust weight up or down. I weigh in at least two or 3 times a week if maintaining. I always weigh in first thing in AM after bathroom and before eating or drinking anything. Most cosistent. Virgo, can't help it LOL

Kim...you're on a loss plan or maintenance?

You're doing nothing wrong...during my 55 pound weight loss from 220 to my new fighting weight of 165; I plateau'ed three times on the way down. The closer I got to goal the longer it took me to get off the plateau. I'm not a doc, dietician, or nitritionist; but...I can tell you what I had to do to get moving again.…

I'm a big believer following a doctor's advice. Sounds like you're very tuned into your body. I am not a doctor and I am not recommending you substitute this for something a doctor prescribes; but, I'm comfortable relaying what my friend said she did. A very good running buddy of mine on CalorieCount, suffered a stress…

Deb, it really depends on what your druthers are. Nutritious...again eyes of the beholder. If you're on a weight loss, vice maintence routine; you can go a different route I lost 55 pounds doing Quaker Wieght Control Instant Oatmeal, microwaved for 1:30 m:s then 1/3 cup 2% milk, that I down while my Kureig dumps coffee in…
