Protein helps burn off fat. I was recommended to eat 80 grams per day on a 1200 calorie diet!! Basil

are you several pounds lighter than you want to be???

I never had any surgeries but if the doctor said ,whatever you can do--- but I'd surely take it easy start out like the other guy said, by walking and then pick up the pace a little when you feel safe. But know, you are going to be sore when you are finished. Just be safe, you don't want any set backs!! Basil

Being a guy, but who had a wife, runner, I say, wait until you are sure. No need to rush it. You don't want any set backs!!! Basil

Hey you did the right thing, you told her! Now you don't have to worry about her finding out some other way!! Good luk, Basil

You don't know what slow is, you should see me run. But to answer your question, Only a few runners run to win the race, most of the people run to get a better time than they had before. Back 25 yrs ago, I started running so I could eat pretty much anything I wanted and not gain weight. I started running agian last year,…

Man, I still have another 20 to 25 lbs I want to lose, it doesn't make sense to eat much more than 1200 per day!!!

My guess is that bones do not weigh as much as fat!!!!!

Toled, Ohio area!!!!

I take aone-a -day over 50 multi, i also take Osteo- Bi-Fex triple strength a supplement that aids joints for my lower back. It works really good, it made my knees better and I didn't even realize I had a knee issue!!

It is hard to say, Ithink it all depends on the woman and her body. There is a fine line between really looking good and looking silly as hell! Basil

Running is just part of my everyday agenda. I don't even let my body tell me its tired. If by chance I do feel tired I say, ok we will just go for 45 minutes and then usually I will do 1 hour. When I was working it was a great stress reliever to get home, change and go run!! Basil

My thoughts on "cheat days" is ,you do it once and it gets easier and easier to do it again. I think when you reach a desired plateau and have just a little of the desired food is ok. But only after a long time of paying the price. The thing that I have found is the longer I deprive myself of something, the less I think…

The world has nice people and bad people and this site is no exception. I always try to help, but the motivation has to come from inside each of us. But getting a little prod now and then is helpfull. Add me to your firend list and I will help anytime I can!! Basil

Protein helps get rid of fat. I am on 80 grams of protein a day!! today I had 100 grams! Basil

I just run everyday. I don't listen to my body when it says no. I just change drink a bottle of water and go. And now my body knows when we start out, there is no stopping until the run is complete. I do vary the run from 45 min., 60min. 120 min. or 140 min. Depending on how hot and humid it is and how tired my legs may…

I don't have any calorie advise, but my sister in law who works at a hospital and went on their weight loss programm, she is 5'1" and I don't know what she weighs, but she lost 75 lbs in 4 months and wants to lose another 20. They put her on 1200 cal. per day , but also 80 grams of protein each day. They said protein is…

Really great job!!!

More power to you! It is all about what we as individuals like. We are all individuals and what works for us, doen't necessarilly work for the next person. No on is right and no one is wrong. It's our thing!! Basil

Ketosis is an Adtkins Diet thing, where you count carbs and not calories. Seems to be the opposite of this program, however it is whatever works for YOU. I tried Atkins and lost 15 lbs in about 3 weeks time. My problem is that it wasn't a program I could live with. I have finally found that I can alter my lifestyle of…

I don't know whqat kind of working out you do but I do know that if you eat less and smarter and increase your cardio workout you will lose weight. You gain becasuse you eat too much!

WOW!!!!! You look super!! Great job!! Keep it up!!! Basil

If you eat less and excersize more, you have to lose weight. It's really that simple, if you aren't losing and you are running, than you are eating more than you burn when running!! You either have to run more or eat less. I had your problem. This past May I realized I don't overeat, but I eat too much of what I shouldn't.…

Are you running or other cardio ? Weight lifting is supposed to speed up your metabolism, but if you are doing lifting in place of cardio, that might explain it!!

I think the word "diet" has kind of a negative conitation. I really look at is as a life changing experience. It is getting rid of the junk food and starting to eat right. I think if you have 30 lbs or so like I wanted to get rid of then excersize and diet speeds up the weight loss process! Also in my case, running, allows…

I would suggest walking as one way. and gradually jog lightly Basilas you get strenght there!!

Meijers sell a protein powder mix that comes in choc. and sells for about $15, a months supply at least. It gives you 35 grams of protein that helps get rid of fat!!

If you get back into the 5:30 routine, you and your body will adjust with a week or so you will not feel any different than you did when vyou slept in. What is more important, your weight or the extra hour and a half or so sleep????? Basil add me to your list of friends and let me know how you are doing!!

Log your calories no more than 1200 per day and get 80 grams of protein each day. protein helps the body get rid of fat. Meijers sells Whey protein powder that is about $15. I mix it with skim milk for .35 grams then greek yougurt and cottage cheese.

I bought Whey protein powder at Meijers. It comes in a coffee can type jug for $15. you mix it with anything you like I use skim milk . It gives you 38 grams with I scoop and 76 grams with 2 scoops.
