163. Now I'm in Alaska... but I'll be back for a couple days next month. I'm going to hit Rutt's Hut as soon as I land, and my first (and probably EVERY) breakfast will be TaylorHamEgg&Cheese on a hard roll with saltpepperketchup.

But you burn so many calories when chewing... especially if it is foods that have negative calories.

99% of my running is trail running. A couple months ago somebody disappeared, and is presumed dead, on the network of trails I run on a daily basis. I make it a point to say hello to EVERYBODY so maybe they'll remember seeing me and be able to give SAR my last location if I end up on a missing poster.

From a purely time-management perspective, I find anything less than an hour/ 6+ish miles to be a waste of ***MY*** time. For ME, if I'm only going to do 3miles, I'm better off walking.

just keep at your current pace... but up hills, then up mountains. Or do intervals... all you need to do is look at your watch.

When I smoke pork shoulder or ribs I'll mist them with apple cider vinegar every hour or so. It's also the main ingredient in my barbecue sauce. (tomato is for rubes) Oh... and cole slaw. Can't make good slaw without vinegar.

I use one. I don't work overnights, but I work until midnight. What I do is: My calorie burn I go by the calendar day. My food intake I count the day as from the time I wake up until I go to bed. this works for me because I generally eat "breakfast" in the morning, "lunch" in the afternoon, and "dinner" at night. For…

The "Green Smoothie Diet" is NOT eating right/ eating healthy. Weigh FOOD. Eat that food. Log that food. Make sure you ate less than you burned. Rinse. Repeat Success.

Whiskey, neat. Beer I try to stick with hefeweizens or Guinness. Except when I drink other stuff... but hey, it's really hard to turn down a good trippel. Omelets- instead of three whole eggs, I use two whole eggs and two egg whites. Shifts some of the fat calories (not that fat is "bad") to protein calories (good for my…

It's too late for that now. Plus, I'm not a member, so there's no way I'll join a gym I don't need for a girl who already thinks I'm some type of weird imperialist that is trying to take over her motherland.

Conspicuously absent from the list: have your friend give her your phone number and confuse two countries that are on the brink of war. In my defense, I wasn't even trying. I just used a guest pass to go to a class with my friend because she had been bugging me to try it out. I didn't really pay attention to anyone in…

Congratulations.

male 5'10 195 3000c/ day Currently I'm only losing about 1#/ month. I could cut calories a bit, but as I get closer to my goal weight I'm more concerned with my physical performance and muscle growth. And beer. I run almost every day, anywhere between 5 and 15 miles, walk 3-5 miles, and then do a bunch of walking around at…

I do both. Could I have run a marathon faster if I didn't squat? Could I squat more if I didn't train for a marathon? Maybe, but with only one data point it's really hard to tell. I'm not competitive in weighlifting or running, so for me it was (is) about overall training. I don't want to give up one for another. So maybe…

Aside from comfy shoes and some water, the most important thing is to tell somebody where you are going and when you expect to return. No amount of fancy gear will save you when you bump your noggin, are unconscious, and nobody even knows to look for you.

What's all this about?

I think in this context it is taking away available calories for protein, but yeah... nothing wrong with fat. Egg whites are an easy way to add protein without many calories. I buy the case of pasteurized cartons from Costco. I add an egg white or two to whole eggs for omelets/ scrambled eggs, I add some to Greek yogurt…

Weight training- alone. Most of my productive/ training oriented running I do alone. However, the past couple weeks I've been running with somebody. 5-6 times a week. We can only do about 45minutes together because she has to go to work, so then I do another hour of running alone, or go for a long bike ride. I also go for…

you're trying way too hard, and you are setting yourself up for failure. Spend a week just HONESTLY AND ACCURATELY logging what you currently eat. Then next week just cut back the portions a bit to generate a calorie deficit. As time goes on you'll start noticing which foods you eat are loaded with calories but don't make…

I don't take rest days (unless I'm really hungover... happens about once a month). However, I try to vary my workouts enough that they're not repetitive and boring. I run almost every day, but I try to vary the distance. If I do a long run one day, I'll usually follow it up with a short run the next, but then add in a fun…

best advice is: no matter how much it sucks going outside, especially in the cold and rain, once you get going it isn't that bad. And when you are done it is totally worth it. if you live in a wet environment, get a shoe dryer and a good running rain jacket

I'm going to partially disagree. At a certain point, the mileage is more mental than physical. I wanted to know that I could do the whole 26.2 and get it done in a reasonable amount of time. So I gave it the ol' college try 3 months before the race. I had plenty of recovery time, and I wasn't stressed wondering if I could…

I run a very strict diet. I've completely eliminated syrup from my pancakes, and replaced it with a healthier, lower calorie option: ICE CREAM! 1/2 cup of ice cream has less calories than 1/4 cup of Mrs Butterworth's. It's got better macros, is more filling, and tastes better. tl,dr: You want dessert? Eat dessert

Don't focus entirely on weight/ appearance. Set fitness/performance goals. Focus on the training for an event, or setting a new PR in the gym, or whatever. You will want to eat "right" so you can achieve it, and then once that is done, pick the next thing to strive for. You did a 5K? Great, now work on a 10K... You can…

both/either. It's up to you.

The syncing process is kind of weird. You have to install the "app" on MFP, then click on the link, which redirects you to MMW... which doesn't always work. It really seems to be a convoluted process. I think the issue is more on the MFP end.

I use MapMyRun (same thing, just a different color) I tried using different running apps with my phone's GPS, but my phones GPS stunk. I ended up using MapMyRun because it allowed me to manually create routes, and then just put my time in. I had a bunch of "regular" routes set up that I would use and it was a nice, easy…

I'm going to go ahead and disagree. I've found that whether I'm walking, hiking, running, or bicycling, my calorie burns end up being pretty much the same over a given distance. I burn 5000+ calories during a marathon... which is right in line of my average of 200 calories/ mile for all other activities. Running and biking…

Said everybody of every update ever. I don't use the app, but I use the website with my Garmin GPS watch. Much easier to use than's Garmin's site, and much more versatile. There is also a VERY extensive activities list for logging just about anything you can imagine.
