I dont want to sound unkind. I want you to have truthful advice. If you are overweight by 60 lbs, you really shouldnt be trying to do a 15 k. That is a long distance, and with that much extra body weight, you are really asking for injuries. Been there done that. If I were you I would scale back on my running. Try doing a…

How is pinrest used as a.fitness app?

I started my weight loss journey at 252 lbs. I had to lose 40 lbs before people I only see once a week even mentioned seeing anything. And most of it came from the guys. Women are hesitant to comment on a mans weight loss, especially if he is married and they know the wife. A lot of the older ladies I know are more open…

ground flax seed and diced apples. with or without vanilla protein powder.

That's what a lot of people don't understand about what all went on with the Y2K delima. Sorry about the spelling. Y2K WAS a REAL issue. Almost every company that had computers spent a LOT of money converting their software and hardware just to keep the Y2K issue from being a real issue. I worked for a major company,…

I think the guy making the Mayan calendar (I think that's the one everyone is referring to) just all of a sudden up and died, and no one else knew what he was working on and how to complete it. :) Anyway, Jesus said that only the Father knows when the world will end. Jesus didn't claim to know, but laid His privilege aside…

I can see you having your opinion, but denigrating someone elses beliefs is not excusable. If you don't believe, just say so without comment about someone elses beliefs, and be more "tolerant" and "open minded".

Coconut is bad for your heart. Im assuming that coconut water is also bad for the heart. Goggle is your friend.

Sometimes circumstances, motivation, and support have to all come together in that one time in your life to make things work. I have been overweight for several years, diabetic, taking four injections a day, and numerous oral meds. My daughter started watching The Biggest Loser on Netflix (no longer available, :( ) and…

Really?? I tried Nike a long while back. They seemed very narrow and tight in the toe box. I figured the last they were made on was more for people with "perfect" feet, not mine. That was a long while back. Maybe they have changed their last. I always preferred New Balance because of the toe box, and they have several pair…

Im thankful to God that He allows me to get up every morning and do my workouts and gives me food that is good for me. I thank Him for a daughter that got me started on my weight loss journey. I thank Him for a job that pays the bills. And for His salvation, grace, mercy, kindness, forgiveness, and love through His Son.

Im sorry about your loss. I don't have a lot of advice to give, but I will borrow a saying from someone on mfp that I saw them post a little while back. "If eating didn't cause the anxiety (or whatever problem youre facing), eating wont fix it." I will remember you and the family in my prayers. B

I quit a long time ago when my young daughter started asking questions about it. I realized it was not something I wanted her to experience so I just stopped. I was not a heavy drinker but had a few beers with mexican food once in a while. There are way too many negative effects of drinking, and the benefits of quitting…

Not sure what kind of music you like, but I listen to Christian Rock and Rap. Toby Mac, LeCray, Mercyme mostly. Songs have a great tempo and help me keep my mind where it needs to be centered. B

Actually that IS harrassment. When they leave stuff on the desk that you are alergic to, bring it up with the manager. they dont want a medical law suit on their hands.

You laugh at that, but in all truth, it probably IS sabatoge. My wife is overweight and used to continually bring in sweets, knowing that I have a sweet tooth, and diabetes. I dont think she was trying to kill me, but wanted "company" in her overweight state. I think since my daughter and I have been working on her with…

Ill have to check that one out. I have watched Jillian Michales on youtube. Pretty good programs.

My BMR calculations give me 1490, which I lost weight on for several weeks, but then started to plateau. I took it down to between 1300 - 1400 and have been losing 2-3 lbs a week now.

Ill give it a shot.

Pleas excuse my ignorance. I am new to MFP and C25K. Are you guys working some of plan together, or are you following separate training plans. I see a lot of posts dealing with how you feel about running 20 minutes, etc. In my experience, if youre working up to a certain distance, you need to work a training plan, and you…

I like my vanilla shake protein smoothie. One scoop of vanilla protein powder, one snack cup of sugar free jello vanilla pudding, 1/4 cup ice, 1/4 cup water, and one teaspoon phyillium husks. Blend in blender. Makes one serving. Tastes just like a vanilla milke shake. I defy anyone to tell the difference. Its great and…

I agree. Its not the phone that is the problem. Its the person using it. Its no different carrying on a conversation on the phone that it is face to face. If youre in a public place, keep the conversation family friendly. Thats just common courtesy, but that is going by the wayside by most people these days. I dont see a…

Now if I can only figer out haow ta git that ladybug changed into a longhorn, aaaall b doin ok. B

Once yur frum Texas, yur always frum Texas. Aaaaahm in Cowtown! Yeeehaaaaa! Brian

I must agree with the good advice given here. I used to run about 23 yrs ago. My workouts consisted of and easy 3 to 4 miles on Monday, fast paced 2 to three miles on Tuesday, easy 3-4 miles on Wednesday, three miles of intervals on Thursday, usually consisting of (warm up first, ALWAYS), fast 220 then a recovery 220. The…

I dont know what part of the world you are in. In Texas here in the USA, we have a "warehouse" store called Sams Club. I buy the whey protein there. It is reasonably priced and even tastes good. They tend to change brands at the drop of a hat though, so you might not wind up with the same powder I have. But so far, Ive…

Hi. Im new to the board and the website. Im starting a new weightloss and exercise program and like this message board. I used to run a lot about 25 yrs ago. If anyone is interested, I had a great schedule that really worked well for me. I went from running a half mile or so to doing a 10k in about 6 months. If anyone…
