  • Good effort for sure. I'm with Cherimoose, I think the weight it just a tad too heavy. I would lower it some until you can get perfect form as all the others have stated. Also, it's just me, but I wouldn't stop between each rep. I don't think it's matters though to be honest. I just get setup before I start (which you…
  • Please read the entire article, and decide for yourself.

  • All this talk of GI brings me to this point. Please read this article so you understand what the GI number means and if it's really relevant -- you decide. http://www.fitbie.com/weight-loss-tips/does-glycemic-index-diet-really-work

  • Nice job. I would be thrilled too. Good response too!
  • I had the same problem. I bought some Skull Candy FIX and they stay put really well. they are actually designed to stay in your ear better and they do. I never have to mess with them any more when running. As a plus, they are iPhone compatible with the volume, stop/start/skip controls. These are the best ear buds I've…
  • How is your eating? Hungry?
  • I let my body tell me. 1) I do not want to be hungry. Period. 2) and I never eat below BMR despite what MFP or anyone or website might tell me. I'm losing about the same amount of weight as you are now and 1lb a week goal has been perfect (this is only my 2nd week, and I've been tweaking for the entire 2 weeks).
  • I also agree. Your goal is only 10lbs. You need to be eating the calories MFP suggests for losing .5 lbs a week. And if you exercise, I suggest you eat your calories back.
  • I agree with what's been said. I would be stoked about 5 lbs in 6 weeks with a vacation thrown in for good measure. Nice work, I say. Keep it up!
  • I thought the same thing. Are you sure that's just not some anon person ;) You look fantastic.
  • Wow, you should be very proud. You look fantastic. Seriously.
  • If you can afford it and will use it, DO IT! If they don't have a contract either that would be even better.
  • I resisted gym memberships my entire life because I knew, for me, at the time, it would have been a waste of money -- and it would have been. Now I am at a point that I am fully committed to getting a healthy, fit, body and getting a gym membership has been a great thing for me. I go 5 times a week and love it. It's all in…
  • I think the general idea is to get us to stop heel striking when walking/running. So pay attention to how your foot hits the ground and adjust accordingly. Shorter steps can also help. As always, no one is the same, so please always do what works best for you and listen to your body. This is all just suggestions to help.
  • Besides properly fitted and not worn out shoes, I would recommend running on the treadmill with no less incline than 2%. I just recently read (sorry I can't find the article in the time I have right now) an article that suggested treadmills are hard on knees unless you use some incline as well. Like I said minimum 2%
  • This is what read in the last week also. They suggested always running with 2% incline for the reasons you mentioned
  • It really depends on the method used by your watch to calculate the calories burned, and how much data you watch gathers about you. If memory serves me correctly (it's been known to fail) their are 4 different methods for calorie calculations. Find out which one your watch uses and you can then decide how accurate it is.…
  • Everyone's feet and walking styles are different. My suggestion is to go to a running store that will analyze your walk and measure your feet, then recommend a few different pairs of shoes. It might cost you a tad for the first pair of shoes, but once you find a pair that fit well, you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner…
  • It's not the amount of weight, it's the number of reps and the intensity of those reps. It is my opinion that you should be doing 3 sets of 12-20 reps (I personally would go for 15). Now Choose a weight that you will have a hard time getting the 15th (or whatever your last rep is) rep up. Low weight, high rep (12-20), to…
