I think people get this--but get hung up on the muscle weighs more than fat (when comparing 5 lbs fat to 5 lbs muscle). Muscle is more dense, so 5 lbs of fat is BIGGER in SIZE than 5 lbs of muscle because muscle is heavier per cubic centimeter than fat. Now sitting back to hear all the arguments about this.

Steamed broccoli has lots of volume and fills me up. Caution of too much though, some side effects :#

Those will sate me if I eat the whole box.

Well if you write it I would love to read it. Congrats for finishing, doesn't matter what place, you did not quit. Great that you are signed up fo another already. Sounds like you have the bug :-)

Don, congrats on finishing the 50K, probably good they cancelled the 50M. Sounds like it was tough. Race recap?

Oh, so sorry that you were sick. Amazed that you shouldered on to finish, great job!

Sounds like you are well prepared. I did my first half with only 8 or so days notice in June. I decided to treat it as a long run and not stress out over it. Luckily they had lots of portapotties, which is my main concern. My last half (which was my second one) last month, they did NOT have enough and I spent way too much…

Tears are tough-- steroids only reduce inflammation and pain and don't help with healing. Physical therapy will strengthen the muscles around the torn one, but can't make the torn one heal. If your doc is recommending surgery, I am guessing that he thinks that he can help the muscle repair (or is it the tendon that is…

Mine will be cooked like prime rib, because that is what we eat on Thanksgiving.

Generally you can post a profile photo that is suggestive and nearly naked, and I am sure you will get lots of friend requests, plus a few private messages. I am certain that all of the FR will be sincere ;)

Being healthy, aerobicly conditioned, and fit. Is this a trick question?

I wear tights and long sleeves if it is in the 50's. But I live in Florida. Layer up for colder weather. Go in loops so as you heat up you can remove layers drop them in one spot, and then they are all in the same place when you are done. Good luck!

You should be able to connect the garmin data to mfp. Every time my garmin loads it shows calories on my profile, but MFP still changes the speed on me. Anything 10.1 mm and above defaults to 11:30 mm. Annoying.

How beautiful!

Good for you! Glad that you have been able to work through this difficult process.

Everybody here is really strong! Great job.

Broth.. Ramen noodles (reminiscent from college) Soups I really don't like salty food in general so have lower blood pressure also. I never add salt myself to food. Most processed foods have salt and cottage cheese has a ton, but those first three items I listed I force myself to have when I feel low blood pressure…

Coffee helps me gain weight because I can't stand to drink it without adding a bunch of creamer and sugar to it. By itself--does nothing.

Congratulations!!

First placement in the field ever---2nd in age group for Lake Nona at Night 5K--27:13, a PR for me B) I finished a 2 mile race in 17:13 a couple weeks ago--boy do I slow down the longer I run. I guess that I still have lots of improvement potential :)

I would place if I were in the over 60 female age group :o . I don't think they will let me switch, but the races I enter don't usually give out awards. In any case the races I run the 40 year old generally outperform the 20's and 30's, but it is not fair to let what would be a 4th place finisher in the 40 age group drop…

Run with her, ask her friends if they want to join her. Ask her if she wants to enter any races--start with some small ones and once she begins to place in them go bigger. Sounds like you have great ideas already!

I listen to podcasts-lots to choose from. Books- depends on your taste. I like Robin hobb who only tortures her main characters, and George RR Martin who likes to kill them off. Both series very enjoyable. Also a fan of Robert Jordan The Wheel of Time Series. Reading all the above books-about 20 or more-will keep you…

Panache sports bras for larger breasts. Excellent support without chafing or uniboob. And by larger I mean DDD and larger. Don't know your size but just a D or DD has many more options.

Try the Couch to 5K program, it has a stepped up slowly increasing program over several weeks (not sure how long because I didn't do it, just kept running until tired, repeat, repeat, get injured, try again), that gets you to 5K. And read the pinned post (top of the fitness and exercise forum) "so you want to start…

I have Hashimotos (and other autoimmune stuff just not really relevant) and am on synthroid--the only problem I have losing weight is that I eat too much. When I stick to my calorie requirements, I lose. When I eat more calorie dense foods I eat more so I don't lose. It also helps to exercise. You burn more calories and as…

Same issue.

Good time: around your best 10k time or better Bad 10k time: DNF or DNS

Running on low carb diet made my legs feel like lead.
