    I stretch and run probably an average of 3 times a week, and also do some strength training moves. I feel it's mostly what I've been eating though. I also track my food with weight watchers points. I eat a lot of lean proteins and vegetables. The carbs I go for are things like bananas, rice, potatoes.. carbs that aren't processed like bread. Though I do allow myself two cheat meals a week!

    Be consistent and keep foods around that are quick and easy to eat when you're hungry, like fruit. I don't even track the fruit I eat and refuse to feel guilty about it. I don't go crazy and binge, but if I'm feeling hungry I'm not going to feel bad about eating a damn apple or banana ya know? I also don't cook with oils. If I'm craving fat I'll use a tsp of olive oil- but I mostly cook with olive oil spray. Just be patient with yourself. I still have a long way to go and it's tough to stay motivated. But the results are worth it!

    First, congratulations. You've accomplished more than a "small" success. You look great! It's good to hear that running also contributed to your loss thus far. I just started running in hopes that it will help with weight and fat loss. I'm also weighing my food so I'll see in a few weeks how it turns out!
