My husband didn't say anything when I went up in weight. I'm not expecting him to say anything when I go down.

Have you posted on the SF Marathon Facebook page? You might have better luck there.

I eat at Panera for lunch - all their nutrition info is online.

Has your training included longer walks multiple days in a row? What happens if you get into day 3 and just can't do it anymore? Is there transportation back to the start?

You don't need to exercise to lose weight, just eat at a calorie deficit.

Wow. That's a lot of Quest bars.

I would probably just follow your doctors instructions and wait to make any lifestyle changes until after the surgery. It's only a couple of days away. Just start reading - learning everything you can about diabetes and how to manage it.

Try some of the steamfresh vegetable bags. Super easy to start with, and a lot of them have seasonings to make them more palatable.

Yes, it's actually not bad. I eat it for a meal occasionally with a little salt and pepper.

He can continue to eat the same things he does now. He just needs to be in a calorie deficit to lose weight.

The lower back pain may be due to using improper form. Do you have accessto a trainer to help guide you?

The point people seem to be missing is that she is not actually in a plateau. She's losing a steady 2 lbs a week. Hubs seems to have unhealthy expectations for his wife's weight loss.

I would suggest just eating at a reasonable deficit and not worrying about carbs unless there is a medical issue. She should be aiming for 25g of fiber per day to avoid constipation issues. 7-8 lb loss in 4 weeks is great. She shouldn't expect to lose more than 2 lbs per week. A fair amount of your loss was probably just…

I enjoy going to the gym in the evenings. My house is chaotic sometimes with two small kids and neverending things to get done. It's nice to get away for an hour.

My goal is 70 miles this month. Tonight I'm starting Hal Higdon's novice plan to train for my first marathon in November.

Sounds similar to a recipe I just saw in the Williams Sonoma catalog that I want to try - Pear, walnut, bleu cheese and fig flatbread pizza

Low calorie diets are generally frowned upon here. You don't need to go as low as 800-1000 calories per day. Just stick to the MFP number and you'll be fine.

I wouldn't acknowledge any person who said this to me. You never know - that may be the wacko that has a gun and is willing to use it if confronted. Just walk away.

I've just started going through Rolling Stones list of top 500 albums of all time.

Because of the title. I didn't flag it, but I can see how that would be offensive to a lot of people.
