all of them, that is why I have a food scale.

crack in cup - CC Coffee Collata. But I haven't had one in a year and a half.

Stop dieting. All you need to lose weight is a 500-1000 calorie a day deficit. (I average because I go over on rest days.) Get an HRM to be sure your calories burned are as accurate, or at least consistent so you can adjust them. Have a mix of cardio and strength training. You can do body weight strength training at home…

Are you using a HRM with the Endomondo? Whole different ball game.

Well, when you ride you can coast. When you hike, you can take breaks. When you run, it's a constant drain on your oxygen supply. The longer you run, the less O2 there is for you body. You can also achieve this on a bike, but I have found there is always a hill, a little tail wind or something that drops the heart rate.…

It's working!

Having a balanced diet is best. Natural sugar in fruit is not the problem. It all the process foods like peanut butter and spaghetti sauce. If you need to watch the sugar, try veggies! Bananas are nature's cookies.

I am not sure what your highest mileage is so far, but here are some things I discovered. BTW - I used Hal Higdon's Novice Plan. - Shoes. Make sure you break in a new pair of properly fitted shoes and put about 30 miles or so on them. Choose a running store that does a gait analysis!!!!!!!!!!! - Feet. be sure to have socks…

You should try to figure out how many beats per minute you need. You should be about 140-160 tops. Then use this site to finds stuff you like. http://jog.fm/workout-songs I finally wrote my own. :)

This is awesome. Congratulations!

Seriously everyone is different, and different gaits, running mechanics, from and style change everything. It 's about having the right shoe for you, not about what's your favorite brand. If you need help, get a gait analysis at a running store with a knowledgeable staff. Try them out, and compare them in a run. A BAD SHOE…

EXCELLENT!

Most people consume too much sodium. On a non-workout day, you can be at 2000. But if you eat any processed food, bread, cheese, prepared meals, canned food, or fast food, you'll be way over that. If you are eating clean at all your meals, you might want to add little to hit 2500. If you are getting cramps, be sure to…

There are always times that don't work - but there have to be times that do work. I used to take my daughter and push her in the stroller. I did it in the mall in the winter and outside the rest of the year. We even took family walks. We used the pool, went to the beach and found festivals that we cold walk around in. I…

Portion control - that's how I lost weight How I got fit? Cutting out the junk like soda, pizza, fast food Virtually eliminating processed foods. If it comes in a box, a can, or a bottle, I probably don't eat it. Cutting carbs and increasing protein 35% / 35% / 30% Limiting rice and potatoes Fruit, veggies, beans, lean red…

Both, but more importantly body fat %.

Thanks.

My Sportline made me crazy. But the chest strap worked with the Precor equipment at the Y.

I have a Polar with a watch and a Wahoo Blue. Both BT to my iPhone, and the Polar works in the Precor equipment at the gym. I mostly just run now, and use Endomondo on the iPhone and the Android. Endomondo will post to MFP.

Nose hair trimmers produce instant results. Better value.

It depends are where you live. In NY we would say "what are looking at?!" In Boston is like "hey eff you, I hope you pull a hamstring." That's how we roll. But now that I have moved to the sticks a few weeks ago, people out on the front porch for a morning smoke and coffee say good morning and wave. And so do the runners.

I have spent a lot of time on what the heart rate zones mean. And yes, they get lower as you age. They pretty much go like this for me at age 54. RESTING (60 - 114) WARM UP (115 - 124) FAT BURNING (125 - 135) AEROBIC (136 - 146) ANAEROBIC (147 - 168) MAXIMUM (168 - 174) To build your aerobic capacity for running, you want…

I have a room with AC, but I need a cool damp towel and then run water over my head. Drink water, and keep up with the towel for 10-15 minutes. Then I get a shower and stretch some more. My chiropractor said not to sit down until I have stretched and cooled down.

Totally awesome. Yeah, I am close to tossing the cookies at the end most times... Congrats!

Been stuck here for a year. :(

I would start with the shoes. A good running store will look at your arches and do a gait analysis to see the way you run. Different brands are good for different types of feet. I would start here and see if your current brand shows up. http://www.runnersworld.com/shoeadvisor Be aware, shoes absolutely wear our way too…

Well, I was in ICU 2 years ago and and at 55, I am planning one in the fall. Here is what I suggest for all runners. - Get shoes fitted at a running store. - Do some leg strength exercises like squats and lunges, high knees and core ex like planks and crunches. Toss in a few push ups. - Start slow, and take as long as you…

Well, the last 15 lbs have been hell. I decided to buy 2 pairs of jeans that fit and some new unmentionables (which now everyone knows about). My family was tired of watching me pull my pants up. I have a pair in my goal size and I keep trying them on to see what happens. Good luck.

Freakin' awesome. I saved mine with 7 holes of use. I finally went and bought all new jeans, shorts and unmentionables (which now everyone knows about!). Congrats!

And what reason it that? LOL
