I just got a FR35 and I noticed in addition to the calories deducted for my run today, there was another deduction called Garmin adjustment (or something similar). This was a bogus deduction of another 900cal. I think these are calories that are already covered under your normal activity level on MFP. I just deleted this…

Obviously you're not a golfer.

I try to keep it under an hr per session. Usually right around 45-50min. Some days I do a workout before work and another after, it all depends on how energetic Im feeling.

After a good year or so of arm twisting, my gf finally got me to join PF. I'm actually really glad I did. It's not my primary gym, but the fact that it's open 24/7 is HUGE for me. I've gotten accustomed to benching on the Smith and can do probably 90% of my normal workout there between the dumbells and cable machines. And…

Every year when I start running again, my weight goes up 8-10lbs and stays there until the end of the season. Then I magically drop 10lbs. I had a steady drop in body weight and bf% all winter and, once again, it has happened this year. BF% crept up a little over 1% also. Im thinking it's only fluid retention, but I can…

My PR for a half is 1:46:40, I was pretty pumped to get down around 8min/per mile. I'm hoping to blow that up next month!

I would worry more about what you're frying them in than about the 3 eggs themselves.

I dont think 2 or 3 months is long enough for much of a bulk.

I do squats, lunges, leg press, leg extensions and curls, and calve raises. Takes about 40 min. Twice a week, once heavy/once lighter. This will really toughen up your legs and help them hold up to the punishment of running--great preventative maintenance!

Personally, I have found that walking on an incline is much better than running for fat loss. It also doesn't seem to stimulate the appetite like running does.

I did a ten-miler a week ago sunday and won my first-ever medal for nailing 3rd place in my age bracket :D My next race will be the Celcom half-marathon in Green Bay this May. Cant wait!!

I believe I had a case of the dreaded "runner's knee" a few years back. It happened when my weekly mileage went over 40 miles. I took a week off and came back slowly the following week. If you catch it early enough, you should be able to beat it in two weeks or so. Best of luck!

My endorphins keep me from getting bored.

Hi, I'm 5'8" and about 176#. My maintenance is around 2400cal + exercise cals. If he has more than a couple pounds to lose, he could probably start off around 1900cals/day to lose 1#/wk--again, I would eat back the additonal cals burned through exercise. This has worked very well for me!

8 mile run in the sun!

Way to go!!

The Following, The Americans, The Biggest Loser, The Big Bang Theory...

I would rest/ice it for at least a few days. Running with an injury can put you out for a while, its better to play it safe. Have you recently upped your mileage? Are your shoes decent, etc??

I'm thinking he means 110cal/mile. I would guess you're burning around 400cals for your 3.8 miles.

I'm easing back into running, just waiting for the weather to cooperate :/ Feel free to add me!

I have done exactly this for the past few months--walking and weights instead of running--and lost 25# in the process! Sometimes, we just need to switch things up to confuse the body a little. Ive also noticed that by walking 30 miles/wk vs. running, my appetite is MUCH less ;o)

I must confess to a midnight raid on the bag of candy my sweety got me...7 snack-sized "Take 5" bars in about 5min :o

I think the body supercompensates with water/glycogen. If I STOP running for a 2-3wk stretch, I will drop ten pounds EVERY time ;o) How much running are we talking about?

Take the proper time and put in the effort to build a decent base. Running is a beautiful sport, but can be an injury nightmare for beginners because your aerobic efficiency increases much faster than your soft tissues/connectors can. Hasten slowly.

Great job, keep it up! :o)

5'8" 178# 1900-2000cals net. Been droppin lbs pretty good.

This month I got serious about my diet and began logging on MFP. In addition, I bought an inexpensive digital food scale at Walmart. I believe it's made all the difference!

First post here! I get the "high" alot from both running and lifting weights. It's AWESOME--me likey endorphins :D
