I just finished c25k - totally love it, but it took me three weeks longer to do it when expected. Now I am doing bridge to 10K. I use runkeeper.com on my android, it is also available for I phone. Just do it!

I use my Android Sony Ericsson X10i and runkeeper.com for tracking of mine exercise and used calories (can be paired with polar heart rate monitor via Bluetooth). Superb! Cant get better!

Fairly common problem with lateral knee ligament. I haven't avoided it myself. The solution I have had to resort to, was: Take some rest - no running for 2-3 weeks or 4-5 days after the pain has subsided. Mean time - anti inflammatory preparations - for pain control. The fitting of good running shoes done by professionals…

Instead :happy:

Try to reduce butter, and to sprinkle the mash with grated parmesan. The another option more exotic one, more of an Asian style, will suit oriental food like salmon or crab is adding some wassabi paste to the mash, as the result you will get an attractive green mash with warming hot taste.

As long as it takes - to burn one pound of fat you need deficit of 3500 Kilo Calories. The rest is arithmetica. If will be eating like a pig, no exercise will justify the excess.

It is easy to guess meaning of mine username: I am a doctor and I am fat

That is a problem at work- the place is full of those. Patients and staff keep bringing in more and more. Usually there are always a couple bags or vases of this chocolate crap. It is hard to resist. I have taken 4 days off over Easter. Have a happy one!

What a good looking chick you are! Good job!

Healing the injured knees takes more then one week. I would expect 2-3 weeks. Get your step and size of shoes assessed in sports shoe shop. It is wise investment to purchase good quality shoes that fit your feet and type of the step.

You can use calculator in the MFP - very easy.. I can do it for you

The best food you can spend your calorie allowance is so called healthy foods - low fat, low carbohydrates, high in fibre, protein and vitamins goodies. Such as fruit, vegetables, lean meat and fish, low fat milk de privates. Dig inn! The best food for me when eating out are: low fat soups (minestrone etc..) and salads.…

Ok.. Lets compare your energy storage (that is body fat) to your bank account (also reserve). On the long run, is it important what you have spent some significant amount of founds during the morning or afternoon? The drop will be felt over the upcoming days. That means - the difference is only significant on the day of…

Lots and lots of prunes... you will have only one thought - "where is the toilet?" Seriously, if traditionally as aphrodisiacs was considered spiced (like curries and peppers) , high in vitamin E (sprouts) and high in zinc (oysters, shell fish). I would expect plain, still and bland food being the opposite of that.

I limit myself to a glass of wine or a light beer when out with friends. It is important to take the calorie content into account. :drinker: cheers!

It will slow down. Glycogen in the liver holds the water. Once it has worn out it will slow down to 2-4 pounds a week - max. More is unrealistic and unhealthy. So.. don't get too exited weight loss takes time. Keep on good work.

I have got the same problem - with an exception it is left knee. I have to wait to get pain free (it may take 2-3 weeks) , then to get help from podiatrist to select proper running shoes. And to start running again. Good luck.

Perhaps, your digestive system is overloaded with fibre. Anything, even fibre, needs to be consumed with moderation. Have a fasting 24 hours, with plenty of water to drink. Then make yourself habit to start a day with a glass of water. If that wouldn't help see a health professional.

That could be not ammonia, more like acetone - ketone by-product of abnormal pathway of fat utilisation that happens in the absence of carbohydrates. Happens usually in people starting low-carb diets and diabetics. Drink more water at least 6-8 glasses of water a day, make sure to consume reasonable amount of…

Use RunKeeper - Free Gadget for I phone or Android - great to set interval, distances and to keep track of your running. I love it !! You can download freely.

Ok. Lets keep flies separate from hamburgers. You can be healthy and to continue to have low BMI. You can be healthy and to continue to have normal BMI. You can be unhealthy with any BMI. You can think what you are healthy, but that can be not true. In ideal world it is best to be healthy with normal BMI. My suggestion is…

Men's once-a-day vitamin and mineral complex with fish oil. Women's version is available too.

Everyone who is losing weight has had similar problem - the number on the scale wouldn't move at all for a week or even two, even being stuck to the strictest diet. That can be frustrating. But if you wait little bit longer you will see the progress will happen. Some times the body needs time to readjust shape more the…
