  • I hear a lot... "You're wasting away!" It kind of hurts. Like I'm terminally ill or something. It's has more negative impact than positive. Like how do you even respond to that? I think, do I look unhealthy? Am I making myself look sick? Oh well.

  • Freya. Had to get my wife two. They were $60 each at Nordstroms though.

  • I'm not used to it. I still look in the mirror and see a big boy. It's only in pictures by way of comparison that I see a difference and by putting on my old clothes. People tell me I look different and look way younger now but I don't see it. But all I know is I'm eating way better, my blood tests have come back and I'm…

  • 2 of us. $550-650. That amount includes toiletries, household items, and eating out.

  • Wahoo Tickr... waiting for a Fitbit Surge. Looking to replace my Fitbit Flex and Wahoo Tickr for just the Fitbit Surge. I've been thinking about the Apple Watch but I honestly love my little Fitbit community of friends. We have work challenges and cheer each other on. It's fun. I haven't seen anything announced for that…
    in What heart rate monitor do you use? Comment by thenk83 December 2014
  • If I crave it I eat it. But I eat it like I do everything I eat now. In moderation...
    in What do you do when you have a craving? Comment by thenk83 September 2014
  • I'm all for everything in moderation. I don't deprive myself. I will say however I try to stay away from overly greasy food like pizza. Just one slice messes me up. It makes me queazy. I love the taste beyond compare but not my body.
    in What's on your "No" list? Comment by thenk83 August 2014
  • Slowing down is probably your best bet overall and trying to relax. Before I could worry about slowing down I had to calm down and relax. Running is supposed to be fun. So I had to breathe in 2 steps and breathe out 2 steps. It helped relax my arms, shoulders, and helped me not clinch my jaw. After awhile breathing just…
    in Beginner Runner... Comment by thenk83 July 2014
  • Usually MFP and my HRM aren't too far apart when I run. My HRM is usually 20-40 calories under what MFP states. That's weird you have such a big gap. Does your HRM have the latest firmware and such? This might help.... http://www.runnersworld.com/tools/calories-burned-calculator
    in My HRM is a LIAR! Comment by thenk83 July 2014
  • I use this one and love it... http://www.belkin.com/us/F8W105-Belkin/p/P-F8W105/ I used to use this one but it sucked for running IMHO... the cover surround the home button blocked a lot of apps with stop buttons and bars at the bottom of the app. So I ended up waisting time trying to move the phone around to stop it. You…
    in iphone arm band for running? Comment by thenk83 July 2014
  • I get it. You're saying 8 min/mi flat. You're roughly running 3:30-3:45 per .3-5 miles and walking at least 30-45 seconds in between? Right? If so that's pretty good coming from the pace you were at. Good job! Keep it up. Just keep running faster and longer. Shortening the walking gap. That's what I'm doing. I set faster…

  • I hate it when someone says oh you look fine. You're not really overweight.... then you lose 25 pounds and you hear... "Where did your gut go? You don't have a belly anymore". huh? really?
    in Whats the meanest thing someone said about your weight? Comment by thenk83 July 2014
  • I only track calories explicitly. All of the other stuff is just too much. MFP is my core app. Running is my primary exercise. I love running. When I run I use Wahoo Tickr to get accurate readings when I run with the Runtastic app. Those calories input into MFP. I have a Fitbit for those 12,000 steps I need to get in for…

  • I usually acknowledge most people I pass or encounter. From the lady pushing her kid in a stroller to the runners. It's just how I am...

  • Spies Like Us - Happy Endings Only Happen in the Movies .... it's screaming metalcore. 100% of my running playlist is screaming metal. It's like fuel. Sometimes I run to hiphop... but I don't do well mileage wise. It's weird.
