  • Don't look upon it as a monotony, but as the tool that will keep you at a healthy weight. Take it from someone who has has to watch her weight for over 30 years.

Also unless you have some pretty accurate equipment at measuring your exersion levels you may be over estimating how hard you're working - it's human nature to under-estimate what we eat and…

  • To build up your speed, stamina and distance try interval training (Fartlek training). Run as fast as you can for 50 yards and then your normal pace for 50 yards, then fast, then normal and then gradually build this up. You'll find that you'll increase all three relatively quickly.

As long as you're creating a calorie defecit every day then you will continue to lose weight. There is some research to say that eating carbs prior to sleep can actually help sleep as it raises serotonin…
