I weigh everyday and enter into libra so I can see the trend. one thing that I noticed is that I need to drink more water on the weekends. I drink a ton all week when sitting at my desk and not as much (always busy) on the…

OVERWEIGHT MARATHONER: GAIN, LOSE OR MAINTAIN
I have read that while training for a marathon most people gain weight. I am already 35 pounds over my goal and am in the 4th week of training for a marathon in june. I would like to lose about 20 pounds before then. I get that its calories in, calories out seems simple enough, but is it? Or is the statement that most gain…

For the last year I have been running, doing cross circuit, HIIT and all sorts of other things with no issues. I recently trained for a half marathon and had no issues during any…

Fitbit or replace HRM transmitter
After three years of almost daily use I lost my chest strap and transmitter to my polar HRM. I have looked at cost to replace it and its around $50. Looks like I could get a new fitbit for double that. Cost doesn't matter in this decision much. Anyone have any raves as to why I should step up to the fitbit? Or is the…

It's about the NET calories
I see so many posts here were people are asking why they are not losing weight or how they are hungry but they are at thier calories for the day. These people are working out daily as well. One common denominator I have noticed is that all the posters (or many of them) are eating at least 1200 calories a day but thats not…

snap crackle pop
that would be my right knee. It doesnt hurt, not even when I exercise. Okay aside from the normal body soreness after a workout. But its noisy! I am assuming its from the years I lived on the chunky side and some damage was more than likely done. What are good supplements to take for this?
