@KBeardmore - Getting to a 5K is my goal later this year or early next year. .. FR Req sent. :-)

Hi cheering you on. I used a BF Scale and did some other tests and estimated my BF %. Then I figured out my Lean Body Mass. Then I added 20% body fat to that and got my goal weight. I am 190 lbs now I estimate that I have about 40 lbs per lose, but I will always be checking. Feel free to friend! :smile:

@GrandmaJackie - Thanks - Love your Avatar! :smile:

Hi OP - I Applaud you because you are introspective and you have the tools, the intellect, and I feel the guts to succeed. Your comment about the IQ thing. My father was really really smart, a member of Mensa, extremely well read, cultured, razor sharp wit. But he had some really messed ideas about health and fitness. He…

Dave... thanks for all the hard work you put into this! :drinker: :drinker:

@taxmom - it is funny the same thing happened to me. I was running on the treadmill and i just realized I did not have enough "in the tank" . I got to bed early last night and I feel great again! :smile: I am really glad I found this group.. it is really positive and everyone helps each other out! :smile:

@OP Hi you are doing a lot of the right things but ^^this is really basic. There are a lot of success stories here about people who have lost the weight and kept it off for good. Along the way many of them discovered exercise and now have a brand new lifestyle of workouts that keep them motivated. If your only goal is a…

@dave - That is fantastic new on your part!.. There are so many ways to run and this challenge really helps - go for it! :drinker:

I can get a side stitch if I run at 150-160 BPM Heart Rate for too long.. once I slow down to 130 to 140 BPM it goes away. I think it has to do with my conditioning.

...best to stay out

I have gone up and down so many times I can't count. I have constantly gone back and forth between 175 and 205 for about 15 years. Every time I lost was by counting calories, but I ate too little: 1200-1400 calories for a 5'7' guy doesn't cut it. I would then binge and gain it ALL back in a few months. this time I am doing…

@nutmegero I knew I forgot one group LOL!:laugh: When that feeling "drowns out" my scale angst - I know something is happening - It doesn't happen every day for me.. but I like it!:drinker:

@jkal1979 - that is right on. If this was me a year ago- I would have gone on a Burger King Dairy Queen binge if I was bored. The exercise clears my head! :smile:

@aaron - This is definitely the term. I realized my "head" is starting to look at things differently - Cheers!

Great Job! That is what MFP is about.. you get to share your victories! :smile:
