This - many, many women - myself included - have the same issue. Your fat stores are likely decreasing but water retention is taking its place. The laws of science ( being at a deficit will result in loss of mass) will not be revealed to not apply to you. Many women will take 4-6 weeks to see the water weight come off -…

Rolling your foot over a golf ball can help also - it can get into the space even better than a water bottle

I am training for a 10K - hope to do a half maybe this fall. I am dealing with a little plantar fasciitis right now and will be very slow at adding mileage. I was able to get back outside again tonight for the first time in over a week - snow is melting again!

go to a running store and get fitted for shoes once you start doing any significant running. You may not realize you need this until after you have an injury - so this would be the most important. A sports bra is nice - but you will know if you need a new one before there is an "injury". Sunscreen is important if you are…

Metformin is a good choice with PCOS. Both phentermine and Topamax have side effects that may not really be worth the benefit - it depends. They only decrease your desire to eat. You will need to come off them and then will need to learn how to eat properly or you will gain it all back - sometimes more since you may have…

great job - keep it up.

Agree with Chicago - talk to your doctor to make sure gallbladder concerns have been ruled out.

Well, your calorie goal will be higher by the time you go, but that nutritional info will help. You could have a soup one meal, salad the next and bring some protein/granola bars that you eat for breakfast and ask to skip that meal with them and use the time while they are gone for breakfast as an exercise time.

sorry if I did the same thing. You should not need to feel overstuffed - but I did not mean to encourage someone to be happy about the hunger feeling either.
-
Lower calorie foods = the obvious answer, but I agree with one of the posters above who asked you to really work on getting past that need. I think that is one of the big differences between obese people and normal weight people. We should eat only until we are not hungry, not until we feel stuffed. I also harbor some…

Thank you so very much for this thread. You have been so polite and helpful. I especially appreciate how you have continued to firmly support BMI standards. BMI is not always the absolute best way to determine if someone needs to gain or lose weight, but it is a very good standard for the vast majority and the number of…

This is an area where you are going to have to pay attention to clues and make adjustments. Please do talk to your doctor and the lactation nurses at your local hospital, but they will just have to help you make decisions based on what you are seeing happen. Depending on your reserves (how much fat do you have stored) and…

Your only real obstacle is your first sentence - I HOPE this works. I certainly know what you mean and my own name "WISH I was a runner" plays on the same issue. But HOPE does not take weight off - calorie deficits do. It will work if you commit and do it. Best wishes for staying in the game.

as long as you are burning what you eat it should not matter - and if your goal is set for weight loss (a deficit) then it should not matter.

On average, they estimate a 500 cal drain from you to breastfeed. So you are going to have to find a way to get more calories in. If you are expending all the calories - you could even add some more calorie dense foods as long as you keep up with the calcium, protein, etc. If you do not get some increased protein - your…

Many autoimmune issues have some improvement with a healthier diet and exercise. I hope you are feeling that sort of improvement as well as what you definitely see in the mirror and in your kitchen. Congrats!

From your discussion, I am not certain which part of the weather is your biggest concern. If it is just that the cold wind makes it hard to breath well (not that you are getting too cold while running) - well, you could try a tech fabric turtleneck as your shirt and pull up the neck over your mouth

That - talk to your doctor if it becomes an issue - but you probably will not notice much of a change

Many older people will lose weight from things like cancer or cancer treatments before they die - so they may die at a lower BMI - but the cancer itself (especially breast, colon, uterine) is more likely to occur in someone who is overweight. I am not certain you can really use that fact to support the hypothesis that you…

Hmm. . . I would say that the only reason to log is so that you can track and try to keep your calories at a certain range. YOU ARE GOING TO PARIS. How often do you get to do that? You are only going to be there for 5 days. I would hate to think that you would waste any of that time logging food - or worrying about whether…
-
It is not fair. Why do some people get cancer and others don't? Why are some smarter than others? If the famine comes, you are going to be better off than most. Your body does what it does, and all you can do is accept that and work with it. You need to eat less than you are (however much that is) and you need to exercise…

You describe yourself as "fat man running" - and you do not give a height - so I will assume that you are at least overweight. You just went from no running at all to finishing a 10K - and you are heavier than you would like to be. . . THAT IS AWESOME!!! I don't know why you are concerned about your time right now - are…
-
It will get better - but look at the thread for starting running under exercise. You should not be dying after your first run or you likely are pushing yourself too hard - which is how you end up injured. Yeah, I am posting this because I am dealing with plantar fasciitis that I probably got from trying to do too much too…

I agree no. In defense of your friend, while I do not do this and would not, I suppose if you felt you were bloated and had a dress you wanted to wear for a particular occasion - maybe. but for just general use - no, no, no

I am trying to become a runner - but not by C25K. I am happy to have other friends struggling with these issues. (Mine right now is mental resistance and plantar fasciitis)
