I have tracked on this site on and off over the last year. I have never posted though and joined the community. I think that this is what I need to do to stick with it. I am active and have run a marathon each year for 2 years now, but continue to gain weight. I would like to lose 20 lbs before I run my next marathon and need some help to do it. When I run long distances, it gives me the OK to eat whatever I want and I know this does not work. I would love any words of encouragement I can get and I think I need some people to be accountable to other than myself. Help!!!!

    Hey! I joined this site a short while ago. You run? That's great. I am more of a short distance runner than a long distance runner. I would not worry too much about my weight if I were you. I would worry more about my inches. Like you, I do have a problem with my weight. It seems as if my weight stays the same for long periods of time. What I do when I want to eat something that I know I should not I either find a healthier alternative or do not eat so many unhealthy things so that I can have my treat. You should use a food journal and see what you can do without and how you are eating. After you go so long without something you probably will not crave for it as much.

    Thanks for the tips. I am hoping that when I start ramping up the long miles this time around, I can stay away from all the quickie carbs. I definitely need something to be accountable to. My willpower has sucked lately.
