Burpees suck. They are my personal trainer's favorite form of torture.

I thought you took cookie monster :-) Me want cookies

You can do it. It really only takes 12 weeks to train if you have a good base of mileage. Good luck!

My general rule is that it will feel 20 degrees warmer than the air temperature when running (a coach told me that), so I dress that way every time I go out for a run.

I like them and I don't think that 230 is too high for breakfast unless you are only eating 1200 calories a day (I have no idea how people do this and function). I pair them with a low fat cheese stick (70 cal) or carbsmart yogurt to get some protein (60 cal) and a piece of fruit (usually btw 80 - 100 cal). It was a total…

It's different. Your body will feel outdoor runs a little bit more. It's a little harder on your body, but you are doing a good job simulated it with the incline.

That's a bummer, swimming is always my go to exercise when I have lower body injuries. I would try a spin class (if your doctor says it's ok). You have to be careful on the bikes though with the broken toe. It can cause some pain when you stand up. The best thing with spin class is that you can go at your own pace. If that…

That's a tough one because you have upper and lower body injuries. What kind of shoulder injury to you have? Is it something that you could swim with?

well, when you put a bunch of people together who are dieting they tend to be nasty. Everyone needs to eat some cookies and be nice.

I hit a pedestrian because she ran out in front of my car after getting off a bus. I had the green light and she had a don't walk. She survived, but had some bad injuries. She got a ticket for causing the accident because she was on her cell phone. There was also a cattle spill on I-75. Truck carrying cattle overturned and…

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't take this as a post of trying to make an excuse rather than trying to come up with some ideas. I multitask which works for me. I watch sports while on the treadmill. I run with the dog, so he gets his walk. My husband and I have worked out a schedule so each of us gets at least 2…

I can't wear glasses if I want to see better than 20/80, so I've been in contacts for most of my life. I've played basketball and done lots of races wearing them without a problem. The sweat can burn a little bit when it gets in your eyes but I never had a problem with the contacts while running. I'm glad it worked out for…

Before - I will wind down my training for about 2 weeks before the race...that means short runs that are not very intense. I usually rest anywhere from 1-4 days before a race (depending on the course). Sometimes I will run a mile the day before to loosen up my legs (but only if I've had to travel to the race site by plane…

correct shoes, stretching, and strength training will help prevent injury but you can't get rid of it. Make sure you stretch or you could end up with plantar fasciitis (stretch your foot when you wake up in the morning), strengthen your calves and shins through weight training and body weight exercises, be sure to replace…

PW - 248 CW - 244 All the Vegas weight plus 1!

You don't need a recovery drink until you are running for longer periods of time. I usually only use chocolate milk on runs that are really intense (long distance or high intensity). C25K is not really all that intense in the beginning. Chocolate milk is the right balance of carbs and protein to aid in recovery. I love it,…

Both (unless cardio is swimming then I skip the weights). Cardio is 60 minutes and weights are between 20 - 40 minutes of weights (it depends on the muscle group I'm working) I always do cardio first. I can't do it the other way my cold muscles don't like to lift.

My body does this when I don't do enough of a cool down. It usually happens when I'm trying to rush it. It also happens to me when I take too hot of a shower immediately after working out. As far as the HRM, in the long run it's a good thing to find this out now. I bet you are not pushing yourself as hard as you can and…

Here's what my plan looks like....easy to follow and seems to work. For each of the main meals I try to have - 1 serving protein, 1 serving carbs, 2 servings fruit/veggies. For my snacks (2 per day) - 1 serving protein and 1 serving of one of the other groups (depending on what I do at the gym - this is usually carbs). It…

My suggestions: 1. You are not eating enough calories if you are exercising as much as you stated. 2. You are having too many carbs and not enough protein on most days (I only looked at about a week of stuff) Are you pregnant?

I thought it was funny that a couple of the players on the black team said "I can't believe we let Conda tell us what to do". I don' t understand this cast. I really thought Emily would not get sucked into that stuff. I hope that she turns around this week and tells Conda to eff off. Who's next on Conda's hit list?

I'm close to 50 lbs lost (I'm actually over that - it's more like 75 but I lost 35 before I started on MFP). Cheat day - yes, I cheat from 9 am on Saturday until 9 pm on Sunday. I don't go crazy, but I also don't watch it like I do during the week. I will eat some of the things I crave during the week. It also makes going…

I'm 5'10" and my husband is 5'11". Married for 10 years.

Nice work everyone!

Ditto. I hate heels. I'm also 5'10" and I feel like a giant when I wear them (not to mention that I have an issue with falling down).

I don't

This is pretty much what I do anyway. It doesn't seem like that is a novel idea. I don't think that weight loss using a plan like this will always be temporary because you can do this in real life. It seems to me that the "cheater's diet" may be more sustainable than some of the limited calories ideas I've seen from…

2 words - chub rub (also know as chafing)

See a few shows - I really enjoyed the Cirque show "O".
