Me either.

There's never enough food in them. I'd have to eat two or three to feel full.

For what it's worth, I find Hokas to be too soft for me and they don't last as long as other brands. I still buy and wear them, I just know that I'm not going to get 300 miles out of them. I might only get 200 miles before I need a new pair. The softness means that my ankles are leaning out while I run which is what causes…

For me, this kind of pain is a sign that it's time for new shoes. Since your shoes are new, I'm thinking that they might not be the right shoes for you. If you are within the return window, I would take them back and try a different type of shoe.

I shower as needed, but at least once per day. If I take a shower, then do something sweaty, I'll shower again. In the winter my skin gets drier and multiple showers makes it worse, so I use copious amounts of lotion. And I'll use a public shower if I need to. Right now I'm running in the mornings before work and showering…

From this meta-analysis, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6115795/, I've seen studies that say that it's specifically non-fat milk that is responsible and I've seen studies that say that there is not enough evidence to say one way or another.

The California International Marathon is gently downhill course and a Boston qualifier.

I'm not 60, but I am 53. Set your calorie goal to lose an appropriate amount of weight and stick to it. Do some sort of exercise. Whatever you enjoy. This is not necessarily for weight loss, but for health. Eat foods that keep you satisfied. For me, that's a balance of fat, fiber, and protein. Weigh every single thing you…

I plan our meals for the week on Sunday/Monday and shop on Monday on my way home from work. I cook dinner every night, but my lunches are either left-overs, or a simple precooked protein and and vegetables that I steam at work. Breakfast us usually just yogurt and fruit.

When you have a very small deficit and a tiny margin for error, every single calorie counts.

This is not true; everyone doesn't need to drink 64 oz of water a day. You may need to, I typically don't and drinking too much liquid can cause me issues. I think it's best to go buy thirst cues and urine color.

First I made sure my deficit wasn't too big. Trying to lose weight at an unrealistic rate is counter productive. Then I make sure my meals are big enough. Five or six small meals aren't going to satisfy me because I'll never feel full. Instead, I have two regular sized meals and a large dinner. I like the sensation of…

Cheese. I cannot live without cheese.

What that salad needs is some steak. Yup, 120ish grams of tri-tip would make that salad fit my macros perfectly.

It sounds counter intuitive, but to run faster you need to run farther. Slowly add mileage and you'll see that as your longer runs get easier, you shorter runs will get faster.

1) 5'4" 2) 120 +- 2 lbs 3) 53 years old 4) Female 5) no clue 6) ~2 years 7) 2200 - 2500 8) 400 - 700 9) Running, weight lifting 10) 60 mins during the work week, long run on the weekend, plus other activities on the weekend.

Have you had blood work done recently? Are you on the optimal medication for you? If you are taking the optimal meds for you, weight loss shouldn't be any different than it would be for someone with out hypothyroidism.

I eat pasta and zucchini noodles. Pasta is delicious, especially when I make it from scratch. Zucchini noodles are no substitute for pasta, but sauted in olive oil, and sprinkled with parmesan cheese they make a delicious side dish.

Life is too short to eat food I don't enjoy, so I don't.

I'm 53, post-menopausal, athyroid, and lost on 1700 calories and maintain on somewhere between 2000-2300 calories per day. There is no one-sized fits all calorie limit.

I know, but I've seen these threads get moderated in the past.

I'm pretty sure the rules of the board prohibit correcting other's grammar.

Would you really want to eat food someone else picked out for you? I used to plan my week of meals every Sunday evening. I'd sit down and pick a dinner for every night that week. Then I'd write down the ingredients I needed to buy to make those meals, plus whatever we were going to eat for breakfast, lunch, snacks, etc.…

Only you can determine if a food is filling for you. Some people find carbs very satiating, others need fat to feel full. I need a balance of macros. Why does it matter that other people think potatoes are bad if they work for you?

This is going to sound really picky, but it's an important distinction... A calorie is exactly the same as any other calorie in the same way that a mile is the same distance as any other mile. You can travel a mile uphill, down hill, over sand, over gravel, or over well paved highway and it's the exact same distance. Every…

I mean that a therapist can help you with feeling better about your body, your relationship with food, etc.

Do what works for you. I've tried both those ways, but currently do neither as neither really works for my appetite. Losing/maintaining weight is not dependent on how often you eat, but on how many calories you eat.

The nutritional profile of potatoes is not a matter of opinion. Look up the nutritional profile of the food you want to eat and decide for yourself if that food fits with your goals. Does that food fill a nutritional hole in your diet? Does it fill you up and keep you full? Does it taste good to you? Does it give you the…

I'm going to suggest you see a professional to help you.
