I've put a raw egg in a smoothies before but never on it's own. I have tried raw oysters and they weren't that bad, once you get over the lugie sensation. If you like eating raw eggs, go for it!

Lime juice :)

Why not start it today? I have always failed when I say "I'll run tomorrow" or "I'll start tomorrow" If I say "I need to run today" I actually get out and do it. Best of luck!

Agree! I usually don't eat back my calories unless I do a long run. When I did my half marathon (I burnt over 1400 cals) I ate back around 200 cals.

I am a runner (man I love saying that!!!) and I run two days and take a day off, run two days and take a day off. You really need to let your body recovery or you will most likely hurt yourself and than you won't be running for a while. Listen to your wife and your body.

Start with Warrior Dash. My husband and I have a client who did Tough Mudder this summer (he is a hard core athlete) and it took him almost 5 hours to do it. He said that anyone who wants to train for it start running up hiking trails. It is supposed to be incredibly hard but it looks like a lot of fun!

Bump for later

Use a gentle leader on her. We have a cane corso who was terrible on lead and I used a gentle leader on him and it worked wonderfully. If she pulls it will pull her head back around to you. As long as you stay on her and are consistent about her behavior she will get it. She may even get to the point where she doesn't care…

Just make sure that your body has had time to cool down on its own before you jump into the pool. If you are really hot and jump into the pool it can cause your heart to stop. Every once in a while you hear of people who are in a sauna and than go into a pool before cooling down and their heart stops.

First of all slow down!!! You're going too fast (for right now) is you want to go far. Also, invest in a great pair of running shoes. Go to a running store where they can fit you properly. If you have bad shoes it can/will ruin your feet, ankles, knees, hips, and back and you will HATE running. If you want "barefoot"…

Drinking your weight (in oz) in water in a lot of water. Please be careful. You can kill yourself by drinking too much water, it will throw off your natural electrolyte balance and the effects can be deadly. 8 cups a day should be plenty. Watch your sodium and carbs. If I eat a lot of sodium I get really bloated.

Haha!! This!!!! ^^^^

You look incredible!!! What an inspiration! Keep up the great work :bigsmile:

Welcome to MFP! You have come to the right place. I lost 10 lbs on my own but was stuck in a rut. I joined MFP and have lost 8 more lbs. I also just did my first half marathon on Saturday. You have to do this for yourself and for your son. Maybe if your wife sees you getting healthy it will motivate her! It has motivated…

Nothing like a health scare wake up call to get you motivated. Mine was when my Dr. said that my cholesterol was way too high (I was at 270 for total cholesterol back in February). Welcome to the site!!! Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck!!

First of all calories are not absorbed in the colon. They are absorbed in the stomach and small intestine. The colon absorbs water and salt from the solid foods before they are eliminated. Since the food passes through the stomach and small intestine you are absorbing the calories. It doesn't matter if it passes right or…

Total 18. With MFP 8!!!

Congrats!! Keep up the great work :)

I wear Mizunos and LOVE them! They work great for me. You really need to make sure that you have the right running shoes. Like most people have said, go to a running store and have them fit you. You may have to try on quite a few pairs until you find some that work great. If you don't have the right running shoes for your…

Put your alarm clock across the room so you have to get out of bed in order to turn it off. Once you are up get dressed and get going. Your body will adjust but it'll take some time. Go to bed an hour or two earlier to make up for getting up earlier.

Your treadmill sounds really high. The one that I run on at the gym says that if I run for 60 minutes at 5.5-6 I burn around 700-750 calories and it pretty much matches MFP. Try walking on another treadmill and see what it says.

Good for you! That is that you ran for your Grandmother! I'm sure that she is so proud of you! Keep up the good work :)

First of all those aren't reliable sources. Secondly, your blood type has to do with the antigens that are present. Your brother may want to review his biology. The + and - has to do the Rh factor. The blood type diet has not been scientifically proven. Eating a gluten free diet should only be done if you have celiac's…

I'm with you on this. I wear a sport's bra and a tank with a built in bra. I was to the point where I wanted to tape my girls down. I wear undies with my running shorts. I have tried to go without them, but it makes me subconscious and ruins my pace.

Way to go!!! I had to re-read the post because I actually thought that you lost a box of kitty litter and I was going to ask if you found it if there were any pillow cases with it....it's been one of those days.

These are GREAT!!! Mine are "F* it, THIS I can do!" and "Pain is just weakness leaving my body"

I hear ya!!! If I am in a bad mood, stressed, or depressed I put on my running and go. I REALLY helps!!

Love to run!!! I have my first half marathon in 10 days.
