I've always just backtracked my initial training schedule for the weeks out of the next one and set more aggressive goals for the key runs. It might seem silly to start at a low number of miles for your long runs again but try shaving off a substantial amount of your pace per mile you'll soon come to realize that sometimes…

I'm doing pretty well and a bit leaner than most. I'll hope on this thing every once in awhile when I find myself out of whack from a few weeks of crappy choices and need a quick fix.

I've done it a few times with great success. Didn't really effect my lifts or runs at all but by day 3 you are so sick of tuna you would rather not eat again for a long while.

But your "15 minutes to burn through all of your glycogen stores to start to burn calories" is so incredibly ill informed I think most of us thought you were trolling......but you are serious........and I am amazed.....:indifferent:

Drink plenty of water then lather yourself up in preparation H gel in the morning. This is actually not a smart-*kitten* comment.

I, for one, am completely sick of OPs negativity. It is really bringing this thread down and I wish she would stop.

I really get that you have good intentions but this is a forum and not your blog. Your profile comes with a blog that you can write on though. Sooo...that being said, you have to expect comments and have some thick skin. I'm guessing you will probably rub people the wrong way bc you have been at this about a whole week and…

Dropping an overall 31 lbs tells me that he is actually NOT the type of guy that can eat whatever he wants and not gain weight....just saying. Maybe he is trolling you? Carry on carry on.

Let me just throw this monkey wrench out here as well. Protein and carbs also cause insulin levels to spike. Do the same anti sugar people people recommend you eating a low carb low protein high fat diet?

Haven't heard anyone mention GOMAD in years. If you are going to do it then you better be a teenage male with hormones raging so bad that your back zits are trying to violate each other. Any other way will leave you shopping at the mall for a new bra to help support you newly gained moobs and an extra large shirt to cover…

Kinda like going to a dentist that has bad teeth? Maybe like asking a fat doctor about weight loss?

Protein levels will have min. impact on overall weight loss. Body composition during weight loss = completely different story. Do a re-feed to your maintenance level for a solid week with some high quality, nutrient rich food then drop it back down. Don't weigh yourself for the next two-three weeks.

So at around 2 miles you can expect to burn +-200 calories. That will put you at around 800 calories every more spent per week than if you were doing nothing. If you are eating at maintenance for your height/weight/ect and just doing your runs to lose weight then you are looking at 1lb of weight loss every 3 to 4 weeks as…

I was raised to believe that giving is greater than receiving.

"Boy, the next word that comes out of your mouth better be some brilliant fu****' Mark Twain *kitten*. 'Cause it's definitely getting chiseled on your tombstone." The Devil's Rejects. Funniest/Weirdest breakup you ever had?

I've always wondered what was going through the head of my crazy ex-gfs when they did this crap. Thanks? I think...

You don't need all the equipment peeps are suggesting for the runs you are doing now. You hydrate when you are not running, all day, everyday. If you absolutely FEEL like you can't make it through the run without hydration then just grab a small bottle of water and run with it. You don't need fancy straps and camelbaks for…

When your heart rate tops out around 100 do you every get dizzy or lightheaded? Have you ever noticed it jump rapidly while resting like from the 70s up to the 100s? Ever get short of breath when you notice it spike?

I've keep 3 pairs in rotation. 1st is my racing flats, min support and extremely light weight (around 8 oz) These are my actual racing shoes. I do two runs a week in these, my weekend long run and my speed work week day run. 2nd is my stability/more cushioned pair. Same brand/manufacuter as my racing flats so the feeling…

You completely forgot to tell us how much you love yourself and don't give a F what anyone else thinks when you started your thread. I simply cannot support your thread about threads complaining about other threads until you follow the correct protocol. Please fix this sir.

A good way to get going is to get a box (improvise a box of some sort like flipped over laundry bin etc.) and put it about a foot behind the pull-up bar. -Arms up on the pull-up bar and hang down. -ankles crossed and top of feet resting on the box. -try to do a pull-up, your legs can push off of the box just enough to get…

Unless you are trying to become a 1 mile specialist than screw the "my time is improving" mantra. You shouldn't be worried about time yet as you don't even have the endurance to make it past a mile. Slow the F down even if that means granny in her wheel chair is passing you. Find a structured program until you can get a…

Nice dress you've got there.

There's not much more you can do at this age other than distract them a different way. Cause and effect is still something completely foreign to them and while they are slowly learning it, in a crowded place with so so much going on around them as well as being emotional distraught, they will have no freaking idea why you…

True true. At the end of the day you are responsible for your own health so find what works for you and if you want to reach out to others for help, make sure the source is reputable.

Didn't you know? EVERYONE on here besides you is a registered dietitian and/or doctor. Also, I think MFP will drop down only to 1200 in their formula due to legal regulations surrounding commercial weightloss and nutrition company advertising. That way anyone can put in whatever insane aggressive goals they want and boom:…

I'm not saying that the stuff at the old gym didn't happen, I'm just saying I am really struggling to believe your story. If it did happen then there is no reason you cannot electronically contact management and tell them you were harassed and uncomfortable at their gym so you cannot go back. If you need to get a lawyer…

<--- buys orange push-up pops as treat for "my son" as an excuse to inhale those jokers after he goes to bed. Life is good.

Not sure if they have been said but add these to the list. -howard the duck -The toxic Avenger -Dude, Where's my car? -Short Circuit - I don't think it is a bad movie but everyone I know hates it. Edit: Blankman- how the hell did I forget blankman

Just one thing I've never understood about co-sleeping with non-infant children. What time is bedtime so that the child ends up in the bed with the parent? Maybe I am just a night owl or something but my child goes to bed at 8 pm with a routine. I'm not into bed until around midnight. 7:30 hits then it' close-up shop time…
