It takes me about 1 hour and 45 minutes to run 10 miles. Its my slow run. I am trying to increase the distance and I'm not really worried about time. I drink a pre-workout drink of my husbands that is supposed to give you energy but I am still struggling after about the 10 mile mark. I was just hoping there was something I…

I do weight train 3x a week for an hour. I'm considreing getting a personal trainer at my gym to help. I have also tried the HIIT on the treadmill but not consistantly. I might try that again. I was doing it about 1x a week for 30 min but I also did 30min on the Elliptical before it too. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks! I wasnt sure if I should try anyhting new because with my luck I would cramp up or feel disgusting on Saturday morning. I usually eat whole wheat toast with PB and banana for breakfast. The run should take me about 50 minutes to an hour to complete and I agree I dont think carb loading is worth it for that short…

My Polar does that when my batteries are running low. Time to change them.

What do you mean by my deficit of 200-250 calories?

I also hit a plateau losing weight when running..you need to mix it up a little. I run 6 days a week now and I include the Elliptical in my workouts for something different. On my short run days I will do 3-4 miles then 30 minutes on the Elliptical. On the long run day I will do a 10 mile run. To increase speed I also try…

I am lifting about 3x a week in addition to my running 6 times a week. I take 1 day off. I have been in a plateau for about 6 months and keep gaiing and losing the same 5-6 lbs! I thought a big change like going low carb might work to kick start my weight loss again. I've lost about 55 lbs during the last year and have ~15…

Thanks for all the info! I am weight training 3x a week and running about 25 -28 miles a week. I didn't think about the sodium in the popcorn and crackers I eat...I guess I could work on cutting those out. I eat too much fruit to give that up on a low carb diet though. What is a good low carb snack?

My go to breakfast is 1/4 cup egg beaters on 1 slice of low cal wheat bread with laughing cow cheese. Its kind of like an egg and cheese sandwich but low calorie. It fills me up to.

I look forward to my runs now...I didn't at all when I first started about a year ago. The first couple of miles are the hardest and then you get into the run and it just kind of takes over. The last step is the most satisfying though! I have never run and felt at the end I wish I wouldn't have done it...I ALWAYS feel good…

Are you wearing a HRM when you workout to accurately track your calories? How long are you working out for?

Does anyone notice that when you eat your calories per day it goes over the points value you should have? I get 1210 calories a day and after earning 700 exercise calories I ate ~1600 calories in a day...this was way over my 26 points on WW. I'm scared to leave WW and just do MFP it seems I am eating more? Any thoughts?

Wow! 147lbs lost...way to go! Thanks for all the replies...but do I eat the Net calories or the remaining calories? They are different numbers.
