I don't have much weight to lose, but I do have an uncomfortable relationship with food sometimes. I love to "eat healthy" (which looks a bit different for everyone) and I love the way it makes me feel, but I also eat out of boredom and have some impulse control issues when it comes to "junk food," and I don't like the way…

Present! I'll send you an add!

Cycling 20 miles (stationary bike with resistance set to 4 out of 8) in 57 minutes

If I feel that I need to warm up before I run, I walk for up to 1/4 mile and then run the rest or do walk/run intervals, depending on how I feel that day, but I just press start at the begining whether I start with walking or just start running right away. I have a Garmin as well and I just keep in mind that my first mile…

My son just turned 2 on Dec 12 and I still haven't lost all of the baby weight. I was at a low weight before I got pregnant and only gained about 30 lbs, but I still haven't been able to lose the last 10-ish lbs. I ran before I was pregnant and I still run now, but my eating habits aren't as well controlled as they were…

What community link are you referring to? There's a lot of us here and we're all over the place!

Your IT band attaches just below your knee and is typically the source of that "popping". The friction over the outside of the knee can lead to inflammation and IT band syndrome, which is like taking your knee straight to hell, so I'd definitely pay attention to how it feels and any progressive sensitivity or discomfort.…

I've been wearing the same 3 pairs of danskin workout capris for about 4 years and love them! I should probably get some new ones soon, but I'm not sure if I'll love the new designs as I'm not a fan of the new mesh fabric trend

When I was about 3 I was coming inside from the cold with my grandpa and repeadted after him, "Goddamn it's cold out there". Also, my 2 year old has learned the word fart and will loudly announce when he or anyone else farts around him. He also loves the word big and likes to let us all know ALL of the things that he…

My son just turned 2 and, while I don't have much weight left to lose, these last few pounds seem significantly harder to drop! I also work out in the morning before work (up at 4 or 5) and am fortunate enough that my husband likes to cook, so we usually each contribute something to dinner, which makes it easier for me to…

I happen to really like Halo Top ice cream (I am aware that there are plenty of people who feel the opposite), and I love that I can eat a whole pint if I am so inclined without making much of a dent in my calories

I'm with you... I pushed myself to do a little too much, too soon and hurt one of my knees, but continued to run on it in the hopes that it would resolve itself. When it didn't get better after about two weeks, I took a week off without any "replacement" or maintenance exercise, and two days after I started running again…

My staple add-ins are salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and stevia or brown sugar, and lately some ginger, and then either bananas, strawberries, pumpkin, nuts, pears, or whatever sounds good that day or the week, or whatever is available. Pineapple and coconut is a pretty delicious combo. Shredded cooked carrots, squash, sweet…

Also, if you frame the act of eating (and many things pertaining to the human body and organic life in general) a certain way, it's all a bit magical... "Do you mean to tell me that if I eat this [food] I can absorb its energy and gain strength from it??" Or, conversely "If I feed this [non-food or other known allergen] to…

Store it with the jar upside down and it can help the oil incorporate back into the rest of the almond butter. Still give it a good mix before using it, though.

I've done two rounds (done the 12 week program twice). I liked the results and I started to dread the workouts less and even started to look forward to certain days, but I stopped after that because honestly I just enjoy running so much more and don't love bodyweight/resistance workouts. That being said, I would still…

You know what you have to do, and sometimes that's the first step. The next step is to find somewhere to start... Baby steps my dude, it's possible. You can do it. You have to want to succeed more than you want to keep living the way you are, and I think you're there already. Have you talked to your wife about changing…

I've been having the same issue as OP lately, and I love this strategy. I used to implement this very successfully and somewhere along the lines (like right before Halloween) I got too comfortable and too indulgent. I don't want to eliminate the things I like from my diet, but I have to remember how I can fit them into my…

Hi!

Both of my older brothers are deaf and I used to wish I was deaf like them until just a few years ago. I generally don't like a lot of noise and thought it would be more pleasant if I couldn't hear. I prefer using sign language, too, but I've come to terms with my hearing ability, especially after having a kid.

@shanaber what kinds of hip and glute exercises did you do? I thought I resolved my hamstring issues over the spring and summer but I might need to try something else since it seems to have resurfaced as a compound hamstring/knee problem.

I've been taking a break since Wednesday that will hopefully only last until Monday to try to give my knee and hamstring a break so it can actually heal... Because unfortunately, no matter how much I want it to, running through an injury doesn't make it heal stronger. I probably won't attempt another 6 miles, let alone 10…

@garygse thanks for your input! I've been running regularly for the past 7 years and currently run a little over 5 miles 6 days/week. I recently started shooting for one 6 mile run per week, and the most I've ever run at one time is 9 miles, but I'd like to build up to doing 10 miles once a month, kind of for the sake of…

What I hate is also kind of what I love... 7 years ago I started running again after running on and off throughout high school, and I have been running almost everyday since (barring sickness and pregnancy). I prefer to run in the morning before work so I don't have to worry about having enough time or energy after work,…

Welcome back! I'm originally from California, but I currently live in Virginia. I prefer to workout in the morning but have gone through a few different periods where I worked out in the evening due to family and scheduling convenience for months at a time. Getting it done is the important part- morning, afternoon, or…

60.9 miles after this morning! That happened fast! And I ran 6.2 again on Saturday; maybe I can make this a weekly thing 😀 Winter weather has arrived a little early in my neck of the woods and this time of year/ this kind of weather makes me appreciate having a treadmill at home. I used to go out in anything over 10°F but…

Candy corn is trash

I make these a few times a month and love them. I've started using gram flour (chickpea flour) instead of oats for a really smooth texture
