any tips for beginner runners at altitude?
Hi all, I was wondering if there are any breathing techniques or the like that will help me be able to run longer at higher altitudes. I am a beginning runner, and I live in Colorado, which is about a mile above sea level. When I am on the coast I can run like a champ, but here running for a couple of minutes leaves me…

What are some of your tall fears?
I am absolutely terrified of getting a hunchback as I grow older because I am constantly bending down to in this world built for short people. I am pretty sure that is not the leading cause of developing a hump, but I am constantly correcting my posture to compensate. What are your tall related fears? I need some more…

At what weight do YOU notice a difference?
I see a lot of topics about people losing motivation because people are not noticing that they have lost weight. While I can understand this is disheartening, I think this misses the point that we are all losing weight for ourselves. I think one way we can keep our motivation high is to be a little bit more…

Can you tell me if this is right?
A 3500 calorie deficit equals one pound lost. So theoretically, if I put myself at maintenance and just concentrate on getting a 3500 calorie deficit a week, I can lose about one pound a week. Is this right? The reason I ask is because I have not lost any weight for about 3 months. I only have about 7 pounds to reach my…

Do you have any non-results oriented goals?
I went on a cruise last month and made a little goal for myself that I would not use the elevator for the entire trip. I accomplished this without having to worry about reaching any magic number, and it was liberating. I am trying to make some more goals along these lines but am drawing a blank. I was hoping you'd share…
