Oh Sweetie, my story is far too long to put on here but let me say it involves a father and grandmother that sounded a lot like yours. Took me thirty some odd years to learn the biggest life lesson that I will pass on to you quite quickly to try to spare you the pain. Stop living for your father's (or anyone else's for…

Try nomeatathlete.com. He's got a really good selections of recipes and he recommends the book Thrive though I have never read it.

Well you are about to becomine inundated with opinions. Here's my two cents worth. I've been vegetarian for what I feel like is forever. You need to do what is right for yourself. There seem to be benefits to vegetarianism for some however it certainly isn't for everyone. I suggest taking a long read of this website…

My friend is a naturally skinny girl. She's had a little one and is still skinny. But what she has taught me is skinny doesn't mean fit. She works out just as hard as I do and watches her diet just as diligently as I do but so as to prevent weight loss. I've actually come to have a lot of sympathy for her because she…

Hey from New Brunswick, Canada :flowerforyou:

Search the blogs for yogavegan. She has had some BIG NEWS (also the name of her most recent post) lately. She has some really great recipes and I think she just recently put out an invite to MFP'ers to take a look at her photos and recipes on fb. And by the way I'm a veghead and I was obese. Eighty pounds gone so there is…

So all who posted a reply to my barefoot inquiry, I hope you see this most recent post from me. Thank you so very very much for all the information. Not only have I transitioned into a pair of Merrell Pace Gloves but I've dropped two minutes from my best 5k run time! About 5 years ago I suffered a fractured fibula and have…

Could be a spur, could be plantar fasciitis. Either way you should go see a dr for a diagnosis. Feet are not to be messed with. Good luck.

Thanks for the info!!

Congrats!!!! and keep it up!!!

I'm transitioning into nearly barefoot with the NB Minimus Trail Shoe so the jury is still out. But if anyone is going to suffer problems it will be me. Fractured fibula a few years ago still causes me grief here and there even when I wear what I fondly refer to as my marshmallow shoes. So far so good though, no pain and…

Running shoes are meant to minimize lateral movement (movement is straight forward when running), where trainers are designed to allow the lateral movement required of the different type of workout. So in short, yes there is a difference. You're likely to get a lot of different opinions about whether having a pair of each…

Take a look at the Asics 2160. I'm not a severe overpronator but they're listed med to high. http://www.asicsamerica.com/products/product.aspx?

I'm hearing you ladies......glad I run. That way people only get a quick glimpse :embarassed: And I have been told that our bodies have just become really effective at cooling itself. Blowing sunshine up my butt maybe but made me feel better none the less.

Have to respectfully disagree with this statement. Some are injury prone, others suffer injuries because they push their body too far at any given time.

I have to say I think that it is a bad idea. One or the other but not both, too much risk of injury.

This was my experience and so yours may be different but I used to work a night shift job and was always tired so I ate to keep myself awake. Avoid the food trap. Studies show that it is a vicious cycle. We're tired so we crave comfort foods (typically carbs) which make us feel satisfied and sleepy. If you're tired, try…

You will be fit and healthy in no time Marty. Sounds like you've got the grit and determination you need. If I can be of any help at all don't hesitate to send me a friend request. It took me a bit to get over my shyness about posting on the forums but one day I realized that if there is even one person out there who…
