Holy smokes. This is confusing. I think I just found a reason to give up pasta. lol

I'm going to keep my negative thoughts about your husband to myself. That's not productive. I think it's all in how you look at it. Consider how not thinking about what he puts into his body is working for him. He will see this in time, hopefully before it's too late. You can't expect him to get it until he does. In the…

Sure. Calorie tracking is it's own motivation though. I was too tired to go running earlier this week. But that day off means I had less calories to work with for the day. That was my choice and because I stuck to my caloric goals it didn't impact my progress. Now I also have performance goals for my running too and that…

This is a trick question right? Firefly of course. ;)

Very nice. Beautiful area. :)

Awesome. Is it as good as ZR?

To carry less weight when I run which in turn will allow me to run further, faster, and easier.

I set mine to lose 1 lbs a week. I also have a sedentary lifestyle when I'm not running. I figure if I lose more than that then bonus. It puts me at just over 1800 calories and I try to stay close to or under that. I also don't eat back workout calories as a rule of thumb. I may go over the 1800 a little on a run day but…

I would totally concur on this. I have even coached shod runners who now use barefoot running as a training tool to improve their form though they still predominantly run shod. One caveat is this is an area most podiatrists will disagree with. Often jumping straight to expensive orthopedics and corrective shoes. While…

On a whim I check the MFP groups and found a ZR MFP group. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/6558-zombies-run-group There is also a ZR 5k group too.

Khara2012 I couldn't find you by the same user name as here. Did you use the same name?

ZR 5k is awesome. I did it with my wife when she learned to run. Best beginner 5k plan I've seen yet. It works a little differently than the full ZR game but it will definitely put you in a position where ZR will be more fun if you're currently struggling and it will give you a good taste for how the app works. It's the…

And that really doesn't do it justice. It's got some of the best story telling I've heard in audio format in a long time. And since they know you'll be running at the time, they use that to their advantage to set the mood. Fortunately sweat is a great way to mask tears. I was so impressed with season one I bought the…

I had this problem too. The key is good form. Take take a took at Chi Running, Pose Running, Barefoot Running, or Natural Running. I found that my shin splints were directly tied to over-striding with a pronounced heel strike. Form is the one thing C25k doesn't bother to teach. I don't get shin splints at all any more…

For the walkers. I noticed the same company that makes ZR also makes a walking game/app ironically called "The Walk". Other than being made by the same people and having gotten some good reviews I don't know much about it.

Lol wow I'll say. I see what you mean. I just followed you back. It doesn't give any notification that someone is following either. Right now it says pending so I'm not sure if you'll get a notice or what. :)

I don't exercise. I run. I don't run to get fit. I get fit to run. From the perspective of getting healthy, find something that you love to do that's active and embrace that. Then tune your body to do that thing better because you love it. It's not exercise, it's living.

:)

Hmm Couldn't figure out how to friend you there. Feel free to friend me. Same user name as here.

I love Zombies, Run! I need to pick it back up again. Never finished season 2. Season 1 was brilliant though. :)

Ugg... Before my fitness mind set I used to think they were sexy but I couldn't have told you why. I think it was just conditioning. Now when I see high heels it's a real put off. In my mind all I can see is the contortion they put your feet through. That's not sexy at all. Now days what catches my attention is a strong…

Remember that "one wrong move" won't undo all your work. You would have to make many wrong moves to do that. OP, it's entirely your decision what you eat. You've lost weight so you have a good idea of what you should do. You'll know if you're making a wrong turn before you make that turn. Just avoid phrases like "just this…

I hate pure rap. Rap mixed with other styles are sometimes cool and novel but straight rap gets a "skip" from me.

My scale automatically uploads results so every morning I remember to weight myself first thing is official weigh day. That's most mornings. If I forget to weigh myself first thing I don't bother until the next day so it's consistent.

That's split up. The team finished in 36 hours. We each had six legs. My legs were between 3.5 miles and 9 miles each.

For me it was easy. Soda interferes with my running. Between the sugar and the carbonation I run stronger without it. Google "how does carbonation affect the body" and you'll find all sorts of motivation to quit. :)

I started using YNAB (You Need A Budget) two years ago. You can Google the website. They have a free ebook, training, and videos describing the process. It's the lifestyle change for your budget that MFP is to your body. It's the first budgeting system we've ever gotten to work. I mostly manage it but we both track our…

You know, there would be a cool feature. It would be nice to be able to set a goal and separate milestones.

44 and no trouble losing weight. I became active at 40 when I started running. No connection there, just random chance. Lost a ton the first six months and by ton I mean 50 lbs. :P It honestly never dawned on me that my age could even be a factor in how easy or hard it would be. Since I started calorie counting to bring my…

I weight myself every morning as well. Sometimes it's up, but as long as I stay on track it's down more than it's up. Occasionally I can justify why it went up, last large meal was too close to bed time so stuck around for the weigh in. Other times if I'm honest I went over my goals sometime in the last couple days and it…
