Learn about barefoot running. Google it. What they say about it being superior to running in padded running shoes has been true in my experience. It is a different style of running but if you're willing to learn it it makes life so much better.

Google search barefoot running and all the reasons why this is better. I had the same thing and it went away when I lost weight, quit drinking coffee, and stopped running in running shoes.

Pants I got three months ago to celebrate losing ten pounds are now too big after losing the second ten. A jacket from college I thought I'd have to get rid of now fits loosely. I'm down from a 34x32 to a 30x32 and I can fit some 29's. I can do 25 handstand pushups. I can stretch further. Not because I'm more flexible but…

Oatmeal. Spiked with a variety of things to keep in interesting.

Yeah I think we have to log in for life. Somehow I don't mind.

Preface it with introducing yourself, say that as a neighbor you understand the importance of respecting his privacy, but you have noticed . . . and then tell him what you just said and that you hope he's okay. At that age it's probably a relationship ending. A kind word from a stranger can make a big difference.

Welcome. I started 100 days ago. I wish I had taken some before pictures. I now weigh what I weighed when I ran a marathon 14 years ago. It works. Just keep going.

When I started all I promised myself is that I would input everything I ate. I didn't have to feel bad about it or good about it or anything, but I did have to log it in without exception. If I couldn't find something I'd submit it off the label, and if I didn't have time I'd pick a close guess. By staying strict to that…

If it were an act of heroism, an instant of inspiration, it'd be different. But it is not. It is consistently doing this one boring thing well: Record your food, record your exercise, make sure the calories out is 500 more than the calories in, every day, no exceptions. And a hundred days later things will be very…

Important point about the plateaus. I don't feel like I did anything different to start them or break them. The truth is you just have to keep going and keep improving and they break on their own.

The best way for me to think about correct Barefoot form is to imagine log rolling, but the whole planet is the log. You grab it with your foot and roll it back underneath you as if it were floating on water and then grab with the next foot to spin it some more. If you heel-strike the log rolls the wrong way and you end up…

UPDATE 13 lbs in 60 days. I seem to lose for a week, plateau for a week, then start losing again. Started at 165, in three weeks I was at 157, stayed there for ten days then over a week dropped to 153, stayed there for another week including a brief cold, and now I'm recovered and dipped below 152, hopefully on the way…

Thanks. This is the right tool for the job. What gets measured, gets improved. This makes the measuring possible. It will not happen any other way. I'm five pounds from my marathon running weight of 13 years ago, and I'm barely running at all. It's all from monitoring what I eat.

I checked two per week, so even if I'm 500 calories over some days that still keeps me in one per week range. In reality I've been averaging 1.7 pounds a week. This stuff is frighteningly accurate.

It takes a significant amount of time for your feet and legs to adjust to the new alignment. I walked around in my VFF's for a few hours a day working my way up to whole days over a month, and so far I have been on a couple of intentionally short runs. For a week I had an episode of Achilles pain on my left foot whenever I…

After a two week plateau I seem to have started losing weight again. New lows past two days and i think it's real. Thanks.

I had this problem. It hit me and 3 runners I know at around age 35. It would hurt most in the morning until I walked it out a bit. I thought I was doomed but it eventually went away completely for no reason. Several months of pain, maybe a year, I'm sorry to say. I quit running. I'm now taking up barefoot running. Padded…

Well ten days later (day 27) I'm still hovering around the same place. This must be the first plateau. Weekends are toughest because I'm at home next to a kitchen. Though I have not gained any back. I'm happy about that. Need to shake things up, maybe more exercise? Good luck everyone.
