Stretch before, or after running?
So, I found if I do yoga before running (3-10 miles) my calves and hips aren't sore. I've seen articles saying that stretching before running is not preferable. I'm going to keep stretching before and after my runs. What are your thoughts?

Running and 1/2 marathon training
I'm part of a running group and I run slower at 11 minute mile. I'm doing a Hal Higdon plan and today was a 7 mile run. With my long Saturday runs, my running partners go for about 3 miles. We stop and have coffee at the cafe for 30 minutes. I then take off by myself and run the last 4 miles. I really like the social…

Pain and eating too much
Hi! I'm trying to lose weight and even 10 lbs by the end of summer would be great. I have a pain issue and am under the care of a doctor with appropriate medication. Or, the dose was good enough up to a month ago. I know I need to see the doctor again to get a meds adjustment. I need to start doing my physical therapy…

Food allergies cause obesity?
My theory is based on CICO. My friend took a blood test at her chiropractor and discovered that she has food allergies. She eliminated the problem foods such as gluten and lactose and lost weight. She is now advertising the blood test and I am not sure what to think. I would like to tell her that she lost weight as she…

Premium membership?
Does anyone have an opinion if upgrading the membership to premium help with weight loss significantly? I'm not sure if is worth it. I'm having a hard time keeping to a 1400 calorie diet and exercise as I have an injury. I know I need to keep at it. I am not sure if going premium would help. Thank you!

Garbanzo bean flour?
Hi! I am a vegetarian and need to make quick dinners for myself a few times a week. I've bought garbanzo bean flour and have been cooking with it. I've made falafel, hummus, and pancakes (that taste like falafel). Does anyone else have recommendations please? Thank you in advance.

Running drills?
I'm training for a 10k race in September. I can easily, however slowly, run without walking a 5k. I can run a 11.30 min/mile. My training plan indicates for me to do running drills like butt kicks and march/running. I tried today and they were really super difficult. Questions: do they get easier with weekly practice? Are…

Depression and nutrients
I've lost about 35 lbs in the past year and am a vegetarian. This year I've focused on CICO every few weeks to slowly bring the weight down. I've been trying to lose weight since January and have lost about 9 lbs which is fantastic. I'm not great at recording my diary if I have a higher calorie day. The last two weeks have…

Being held accountable
I just participated in a friendly 2 month competition to lose weight and I lost 16 lbs. I felt accountable during that time. I wish I were internally motivated more than externally. My partner is wise and doesn't comment on my weight. I want to organize something but I am unsure. I'm 5'8" and about 200 lbs. I'm hoping to…
