Here's a link to an article that shows how you can test yourself for poor posture (regarding front-to-back hip tilt): http://runnersconnect.net/running-training-articles/running-technique/ And, another, that discusses side-to-side hip drop:…

This following link has some darn good information about plantar fasciitis, its treatment, and home therapy. Seems pretty informative. http://www.northcoastfootcare.com/pages/Heel-Pain-and-Plantar-Fasciitis.html Hope you have a most speedy recovery, OP!!! :)

I can't think of a superlative that hasn't already been used to tell you what a great, fantastic job you've accomplished thus far. You are an inspiration to anyone trying to get healthy by getting their weight under control. You're doing terrific!!!

And, some surfaces seem to compress leg nerves leading to aching legs...just from sitting.

So, OP, how's it going now (~1 month after the last post)? Also, do you have a graph of your weight for last 90 days or 180 days?

OP: To change your macronutrients in MFP, go to "Goals==>Daily Nutrition Goals==>Edit;" then edit your macro goals as you wish. Hope that helps.

The ON Gold Standard 100% Whey (Double Rich Chocolate) protein powder mixed with Fage Greek yogurt (either 0% Fat or 2% Fat) is kinda like chocolate pudding--both consistency and taste. Today, I mixed 327 g yogurt with 72 g powder--felt full for 5+ hours after eating. [Carbs: 20 g; Protein: 90 g; 471 kcal]

I've read quite a bit concerning the body fat measurements and yopeeps025 nailed the accuracy methods, in descending order of accuracy. In my opinion, although not as accurate as those methods, the electronic type measuring devices have consistency in their favor; i.e., the measurements are calculated consistently, meaning…

I weigh & record weight daily, in the morning...after bathroom duties and before putting anything in my mouth (other than a toothbrush); i.e., no food or drink. Daily weight fluctuations can be radical (0.2 lb to 6 lb--& I weigh ~150 lb); so, I average the recordings for each week and look at the trend of my weekly average…

More hungry? No more hungry than when not tired. Less willpower to resist giving in to hunger? Yes.

OP, though you may disagree, what you did through the holidays and thereafter, may very well have an effect upon your current condition. I don't state that as a fact; but, I would not dismiss the potential for it. It may be that gia07 is questioning whether any of the folks on MFP can provide you with a definitive "AH HA,…

Actually, I just go by my Garmin Forerunner 620 w/HRM, which provides that information based upon recent exercise history. However, I used to use a Suunto watch/HRM/GPS and had very similar results--as I began getting more fit, based upon HR and duration of exercise over recent history (several weeks), the calories burned…

Are you varying your exercise routine? That may be important for maintaining your caloric burn rate as it was in the beginning. Nonetheless, I know that when I am very disciplined about my exercise program (I'm a runner; so, most of my exercise is cardio-type), my caloric burn per unit of time and per mile will decrease;…

Definitely, CONGRATULATIONS!!! are in order. That's rockin' your bod!

The ON Whey Double Dutch Chocolate is pretty good, too...if you like chocolate. I like to mix it with Fage Greek Yogurt (either 0% fat or 2% fat)--I use about 30-35g powder to about 150-175g yogurt.

I weigh & record my weight (and Blood Pressure, Resting Heart Rate) daily; but, I use the weekly average of my weight for tracking purposes. I weigh (without clothing) right after I get up and use the bathroom. The daily fluctuations in weight are too radical; but the weekly average is much more smooth and tends to better…

I call it American, just to differentiate that it's not British English. [No disrespect toward British English; they're just different.]

Depending upon your current fitness for running (it appears that you're well into running fitness) and how your marathon training plan is scheduled, you should only need 16-20 weeks of concentrated (focused), progressive marathon training. So, counting back from the date of your marathon, it would seem that you do have…

Jorb, depending upon your age, 181 bpm may be right for a 5k race (why are you bummed about that?) and your RHR (52 bpm) seems okay. I use the term RHR to mean, "Heart rate upon awaking in the morning before getting out of bed." Is that a valid definition on MFP?

In the world, excluding the North American Continent, the comma (,) is used to separate integers from the decimal fraction part of numbers and the period (.) is used to separate the integer portion of the numbers into multiples of 10^3 (1000); so, the question, if from one raised outside North America (NA), isn't strange…

Mitty, I suspect that you are correct that only those who have been exercising (maybe even, cardio exercises mostly) regularly have replied.

Don't get too upset about such minor weight fluctuations. I've been tracking my weight daily for more than five years; and, my weight will fluctuate, some days, more than four pounds; but, as Isulo indicated, it's the trend that's important. But, occasionally, even the trend may fluctuate upward (or downward) for a short…

Great job!!! I like your plan for the future...you've proven that it's reasonable and doable.

August 01? That's 26 weeks away. If you just leave an average of 500 kcal/day on your table, that's a 26 pound loss during that time. And, at 80 lb overweight, you can, probably, drop more than 500 kcal/day. I say, "Go for it!!!" I run, also; and, when my weekly mileage gets above 35 miles, I'm more hungry than usual; so,…

So, with very low carbs, how do you get adequate fiber in your diet? I'm trying to figure out the answer for myself, but haven't found the solution, yet. [Also, are there no "snack" foods--aka quick-n-easy, bite-size foods--that aren't full of carbs?]

I weigh what goes on my plate (or bowl) at the time of consumption; i.e., after cooking or the microwave, if applicable. [BTW, I weigh by grams for better accuracy.]
