The warrior dashes are good...they have one just about everywhere. Lots of people dress up like vikings or wear kilts, painted faces, etc. It's usually around 5K, with some mud involved and obstacles. fun to do with a group of people you know and can help each other negotiate the obstacles...then there is beer and BBQ at…

Most days I am a little over 150, but then other days I am below 75...it just depends on how I feel like eating that day, and what I am doing. I run about 5 days a week and also do crossfit 5 days a week, so the carbs I eat (pretty much all fruits and vegetables) don't have time to hang around in my body, so I don't really…

Add my wife, she is on here as SizeHealthy2. She has lost over 200 lbs and she loves to help people and encourage. Good luck to you...it is not easy, but if it were it wouldn't make you feel so good at the end when you lose the weight that you want to lose!

I don't either for the most part. I just make sure they are coming from fruit and vegetables. I probably eat more carbs than most, especially on my long run days where I'm putting in 9 miles or more as well as knocking out a WOD

"your iphone is not covered to have this type of damage repaired...but since you bought the extended warranty service I will just swap it out for a new one and say it is not repairable"

I've been paleo for a long time, however, have only been on here for a few weeks, but feel free to take a look at mine, it's public, and ask away. Disclaimer: I haven't entered much food over the last few days...I never really worry about calories and only enter foods on here for other reasons(I am in the military and…

I do pork chops, steak, vegetables...nothing saying eating leftovers from the night before is wrong just because it's not traditional "breakfast" food. I had some steak fajita lettuce wraps the other day for breakfast for i guess more traditional breakfast, Almond flour pancakes and I make my own fruit spread from fresh…

I'm a Marine who for a long time went through a rash of injuries and my run times really sucked afterwards, so I know what your feeling, and most times that leads to training the wrong way (too fast, too soon) and not seeing the results that you think you should. Having said that...think of it as if you're trying to put on…

What type of training and intensity were you doing in the first place? I would say you're not eating enough, but also add in some fruit...the sugar in fruit gives your body easily available energy to fuel the workouts. And if you're worried about gaining weight from the sugar, don't. Sugars are the first thing your body…

never heard of this one...might have to check it out. I'm always on the look out for new recipes and ideas

Meh, I wouldn't worry about it. Don't forget that men typically lose weight faster than women. It will come...it could also be as simple as adding some intense exercise whenever possible if you do not get to exercise very much. Also maybe look at how much sugar is in your daily diet and adjust if necessary. Hang in there!

Oh, I forgot...make sure if you do decide on using coconut oil you use virgin. Do not use anything that says processed or partially hydrogenated. Once hydrogen atoms are introduced to coconut oil, it just becomes another Trans Fat just like vegetable oil and is not the kind of fat you want to add to any diet. Hope I helped…

Consult your Dr. since you have history of high cholesterol, but being that coconut oil is a "naturally occuring saturated fat" just like the good fat that is in avocados, it has a lot of health benefits, and from the research I've done in the past about it, I wouldn't think it raise your cholesterol levels, especially if…

I'm not sure what the problem would be with eating carbs and saturated fats together (maybe there is a problem and I'm just clue less). I try to keep most of my carbs in the morning, but you still will want to add in fats and proteins. For example if you eat a bowl of fruit for breakfast (high in sugar) and nothing else,…

^^True story

I just took a look at your diary and...do you not eat meat? Not judging you, just wondering since I didn't see any on there. A big part of Paleo is kind of balancing your diet (roughly), with the carb intake slightly lower than your fats and protein or lower than that on the carbs, but it seems like yours is kind of the…

I find it hard to cook every day to so I just cook more and eat it for at least 2 days (including lunches most times too). So if you have a recipe for something like Paleo beef stew, double or triple it, whatever you need to do and use it for a couple days. I usually only cook dinner on Mon, Wed, and Thursday, and then…

1. Google "Paleo"- read, read, and read some more. Take a break and eat lots of bacon, then read some more. 2. Google paleo recipes- some recipe sites are strict paleo and some (IMO) are borderline not even paleo (PALEOMG.) but she does have some great recipes and is a cool lady with a cool site so worth checking out. Just…

Good job! It wasn't hard for me to make the transition to Paleo, but the effects were pretty rapid like you said about feeling better...etc. Stick with it and look for ways to improve your eating and way of life and it will get even better. Don't get down on yourself for slip ups. not a big deal. Only when the slip ups…

I like to double portions on my proteins usually. Also my vegetable portions are pretty obscene (which doesn't account for a lot of extra calories, but every little bit helps) As far as the nut butters, you can use them to dip vegetables in, or spread it on a celery stalk for your snacks between meals. Nuts like almonds…

The only fast food I've had since I don't know when is Subway. I only get a salad but I get bacon on it. One time I got the chicken and the bacon but you can't really classify what they serve as chicken. Sorry man, but happy to say no fast food for me for a loooong time.

^^This I've been Paleo for quite a while and never counted calories until I joined this site. I don't eat that way to lose weight, I eat that way because it makes me feel better and fuels my workouts and runs and etc. etc.(1000's other reasons) Most people who follow the Paleo way aren't counting calories and don't care…

Feel free to add me...I've been eating paleo for awhile...a year maybe??? I am new to this site and looking for some paleo buds.

Make sure you do not burn the bacon when you save the fat, that will sometimes make it taste a little weird. Also, if you are saving it to cook with later on, you should use some cheese cloth to strain out the tiny particles of bacon meat that inevitably end up in the bottom of the pan...if you don't you run the risk of…

Bacon is a gift from God! I eat it if I don't eat it everyday (sometimes twice), then I eat it no less than 6 days a week. I go through about 3-4 packages a week (with a little help from my kids) I use the rendered bacon grease to cook things that would taste better with it rather than coconut oil. If younever cooked…

Everyone should not be so quick to judge. Are you paying for the knowledge they may have and the compatibility with you to give you the best results? Or are you paying for a dumba$$ that is essentially arm candy to follow you around the gym? If you haven't done one...enroll in a race like a 5k or 10K and see how many of…

Instead of just eating the square of chocolate, melt it, fry bacon (uncured bacon), dip the bacon in the melted dark chocolate, let the chocolate cool and enjoy. Best. Snack. Ever.

Like I let myself down

I say hell yay! I've never been overweight, but my wife has and has lost over 200 lbs and did it through running (and other stuff). I would assume that running is more uncomfortable when you are very overweight (she said it was), but so is walking up stairs probably. Just take into consideration the possibility of being a…

The sweetener in Reg Sodas is High Fructose Corn Syrup... This is a chemical. A scientist discovered how to make it and there is nothing natural about. It is extremely bad for you and extremely cheap (which is why you find it in so many packaged foods).
