train for a half marathon

I mean, duh. Of course when you weigh more, you have to eat more to gain or keep gaining...so of course with the same number of calories, as weight increases, the rate will slow and you'll have to keep upping calories for the same Rate of gain.

I don't download music. I use Pandora and keep it on Saucony Runners High station 'cause it has no commercials....commercials really screw up my head during runs.

During runs I use a Garmin watch and it automatically puts it in MFP. The watch uploads data to Garmin Connect which communicates with MFP. Garmin now makes watches like fitbit and upgrades just the same.

I'm a lone runner. Unfortunately. I know very few runners and it's hard with my schedule to get together with anyone else to run.

I second HH. I appreciate the different options for training. I'm on week 3/12 for the HM training - I'm doing the Novice 2 .

I'm training for a first - a half marathon , but I have no interest in an ultra.I can't even fathom it to be honest. Even a full sounds daunting. I'm in awe of you ultra people.

It's a coincidence. The shot cannot give you the flu. It's not a live virus in the shot.

I have a Garmin watch. One just for running. All I need to know is distance, pace, and calories burned. It does its job :)

Should be 80.

Dying

But why? The body burns fat for energy needs while in a deficit. Why does that mean it can't put on muscle mass if one is consistently working out muscle groups?

Take off just the key that opens the door to start.

No, actually Mexico and other countries that have a high proportion of poverty are on the fast-track to having obese societies like the more developed world. & big brand companies are targeting them by exploiting their poverty for their profits. E.g. Pepsi Co's biggest growth right now is in developing countries. Who now…

If it workout very early before work as early as 5 AM sometimes ) I find I am nauseous afterward if I don't eat something small like a Greek yogurt or half a banana before then I pay for it . I am way too hungry by 7 or 8 AM to not have a full breakfast before my usual time of day workouts.

How many miles a week are you running ?

I'm cranky and depressed when I don't work out.

Yes, I know what you're saying about advanced Alzheimer's and eating patterns. However, there are many factors here : poor attention span means a traditional meal is out of the question, and sugary foods are just something more likely to be eaten because they taste good. On a very primitive level, babies love breastmilk…

Those are high calorie meals. It's been recommended that breakfast bee 300-400 calories, lunch 400 dinner 500 and then the rest for snacks or treats.

I can't fathom 5,000 calories. Just the volume of food. The time dedicated to eating that much also...just can't imagine lol.

You can add me. I've been maint. For about 6 months.

I think the mass over distance moved is really only relative to your energy expenditure while walking , running, or biking (which takes the bicycle into account) . With calisthenics, you're using your muscles in a completely different way, and can still burn a good amount of calories based on the work of your muscles at…

I think underweight, normal weight, overweight are all pretty straight - forward categories based solely on BMI.

20 minute run.

I want a well-conditioned heart, pair of lungs, tones arms & legs, and minimal abdominal fat. I prioritize my health now; something I didn't do before I lost 100 lbs. There's only a certain amount of time and energy in a day, and people choose how to fill that time. For me, I realize that because my time and energy is…

I'm most hungry in the morning and around lunch. I could never skip either. I get downright hypoglycemic if I haven't eaten by 10 AM, and then I can turn around and my stomach's growling at 12 or 1 pm for lunch. The rest of the afternoon/dinner, though, I'm not nearly as hungry. Probably some circadian rhythm thing. I'm…

Well, it's really difficult sometimes. Sometimes you have to be creative and the schedule is never the same. Since I work 3-4 12hr shifts a week, I do the most on my days off since my 3 kids are all in school. If I can't get my exercise in in the morning on my days off, I'll wait til after dinner around 7pm to get a run…

I do the same with the kids on their bikes!
