I do my walking/running in the morning. Also... high protein, low carbs throughout the day. That's the key! You may want to try a multi-vitamin and a B-12 supplement. I take 1000mg of B-12 daily. I couldn't do my life without it! :) You're going to do great!

You know how in HS Math you had to "show your work"? Here is how I figured this: 1 km = .62 miles You can walk 1 km in 7 minutes If you kept the same 7 min/km pace for an entire hour (Which is pretty freaking awesome!) Take 60 (min in an hour) and divide by 7 (your time/km) = 8.57 Then multiply 8.57 x .62 (miles/km) = 5.31…

Correct IggyL! It is 5.3 mph. :)

Hello All, Sept. 1 Weight 261 Sept. 18 Weight 255 Down 6 lbs!! Woot!!! Thank you for this! I was feeling kind of "meh" today because I didn't lose any weight this week.

Auntiebabs!!! Thank you for that so much!!! I have a huge food/guilt link. Even when I am under calories for the day, like yesterday! I printed your comments and taped them on my desk as a reminder of this truth! :)

::wipes away tear:: Thank you all so very much! Yesterday was just a *hard* day. However, like many of you suggested, I did write what I was feeling and it helped me put it in a better perspective.
