Maybe share your diary?

Way to go!!!! Nice job on the inches lost! Who cares what the scale says!!

Don't give up!!! Find foods you love and fit them into your calories :) Do you like cooking? Get some cook books and cook your butt off :) It's fun, healthy and easy :) Experiment away!

Best thing I ever did! I've achieved so much more because of my surgery. Good Luck :)

Woohooo That's awesome!

Live like people did 30 to 40 years ago and you would be way more active and you surely wouldn't be eating fast food and all of the crap that you eat. Just saying... not "you" personally, just someone who wants to live like people did 30 to 40 years ago. This is life. You can't eat 4000 calories a day and not gain weight,…

I have a personal trainer in a small group training class. The class is fun and the personal trainer is really great! I've seen her work one on one with other people. I've improved in my strength training but it's because I increase my weights weekly, not because she told me too. You have to motivate yourself though. I…

Get a new scale. I got one that is up to 2 lbs. for under $5. It's very accurate. Log everything, even if it's a strawberry. It will keep you accountable. Don't justify your "ooops" days. Nobody is perfect. Learn from it and move on. As I said before, Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep going. It'll change. I'd advise cutting out…

Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep going! 2 or 3 lbs is a lot for your current weight and where you need to go. You are 1/4 of the way there!! Don't give up now!

Nope, I spend less. But I buy lots of vegetables and discounted meat from a high end grocery store and cook more from scratch than "fast food" healthy stuff. I spend less.

I agree with this.

One reason: It takes more energy for your body to digest protein than carbs. Two reason: Something to do with ketosis, which might be very harmful to the body. Researchers are still back and forth on this one. Some say short periods are okay, while some say it's not good at all.

If I stretch before running then I can't run as far. <-- Truth! Try not stretching before, and run. See if it makes a difference. Definitely stretch afterwards. Also, make sure you eat well.

Beautiful job!

It's all about the calories. The more healthy food you eat the easier it is to fill up and have energy. The more "junk" you eat, usually the more hungry you are, the more cravings you have and might feel sluggish. It depends on how you react after the "junk" food. It's all about calories.

OMG!!!! That's so awesome! Good Luck with your Marathon.. I gotta do that .. someday!!! Nice job!!!! Keep going after the Marathon!

Limit yourself to 1 or 2 pieces of fruit a day. Then don't worry about the sugar intake if it's coming from the fruit.

Get new bras that fit properly and they won't feel flat chested. That's what I had to do when I lost weight. By a push up bra and the right size and you feel decent. Get used to it. It's not a bad thing. You are healthy :) That's awesome!

Remind her how bloated she is when she drinks Soda. Yuck!

I assumed the "van ice cream" was the flavor of the protein powder, no?

Awesome!

Sweets or Cheese and crackers.

That's so cute! Nice job. Very creative and inspiring too!

Super duper nice job! A size 4.. geez.. tiny little thing! I love running too! Isn't it fun? What's your next running challenge/goal?

Look at my profile. I don't believe in eating them back in fear of overestimating. I'd advise eating half of them back in order to not overestimate and accidentally overeating. In January, I logged all of my exercise and ate the calories back, it's hard not to. Lost no weight. In February, I did not log my exercise because…

Beautiful job! Great story and the best pics ever. How do doctors know where to put those screws! Amazing!

Get the book "The new rules of lifting for women" He encourages eating more and tells you why you should. It's a good book.

Do you eat your exercise calories? Can you share your diary? How many calories do you eat daily? Do you log everything including oils you use for cooking? Do you measure and weigh your food? Eyeballing does not work. If you eat your exercise calories back, you could be overestimating them and eating too much. Try eating…

I believe in counting them

Congratulations!!!!
