Gym equipment...suggestions?
I recently switched gyms to a larger chain gym, because they have better childcare hours. I prepaid for a year, so switching is not an option, even though i prefer the old gym for lots of reasons....im stuck for a while. At my old gym, they had dumbells that went up in 2.5# increments (15, 17.5,20,22.5,25, etc...). It made…

Creatine Questions - water weight and non responders
I know that usually when you begin creatine, there is water weight gain of a couple of pounds (3-5ish?). I have also read that some people do not respond to Creatine. I have been taking Creatine mono-hydrate for 14 days now. I did a loading phase of 20mg for 5 days and am now taking 5mg per day for the last 9 days. I have…

And felt comfortable walking around in my bathing suit! It dawned on me after beimg there for a few hours....I wasn't sitting with my arms folded over my stomach, or constantly grabbing a towel to wrap around me. I was comfortable....as is! I'm about 16lbs from goal (down almost 70!!!).

Ok, i know mfp and fitbit are having issues recently. Adding random calories, not adding calories, adding entries 2 and 3 times in one day, etc... I disconnected my fitbit from mfp for the time being, but still use it to track steps and tdee. Lets say my fitbit says my TDEE for the day is 2000. Mfp has me eating 1300 for a…

How many miles will you go before you fuel midrun? Do you always carry water on shorter runs?
Just curious what the average seems to be. I had a conversation with a running friend and we are on opposite ends of the spectrum. She carries water for every run (even a 1 miler), eats before each run and fuels every 20 minutes regardless of the length of the run. I don't carry water with me for anything under 5 miles. I…

3500 calories does NOT equal 1lb
I know this is an ARTICLE in runners world. Its interesting anyways, and i was hoping for some discussion. The gist is that the longer you eat at a deficit, the less that deficit effects your weight loss. So a 500 cal daily deficit in the beginning produces a 1lb a week loss, but after continued for 12 months or more, that…

How much does eating in a defecit impact running?
I'm training for a half marathon at the end of November. My longest run so far has been 10 miles. Each time I'm out for more than 7 miles - the last few are BRUTAL. I'm just wondering if my eating at a deficit (fairly large one considering I've lost 20# and 22" in the last 12 weeks) is the issue, or if its simply a lack of…

Calf pain help - any suggestions?
I need some help. About 2 weeks ago I noticed that I was both walking and running on the outside edge of my left foot. Putting almost no weight onto the ball of my foot. This was a new development - I usually have a solid strike when running. I wasn't in any pain, and could deliberately walk on the full foot without issue,…
