Bump! I need one too and would like any info. :)

My left ankle hurt last spring after I began training for a 5k or at least I thought it was my ankle. It ended up being a tendon. I didn't stretch properly before I ran and ended up having to wear a brace on my foot for months. Now I always warm up! If it continues, go see an ortho. Hope you get back to running soon! :)

I've lost 12.5 since January and have been at the same weight for three weeks! I tried zig zagging.... didn't work. I run about 6 miles a week. I get so tired of "maybe that's all your body is going to lose" or "your fat is turning to muscle and muscle weighs more" I may try interval training......... I feel your pain!

Congratulations! You look fantastic! I have been depressed because I've been stalled at the same weight for two weeks but after looking at your pictures, I'm going to fight through it. Thanks for the motivation! :)

I gave up cokes and white chocolate mocha's from Starbucks. I now drink water and skinny vanilla lattes when I do go by Starbucks. Everything else I use portion control. If not, I would binge big time.

Good luck to you too! :smile:

I am having a hard time with this concept too. I have lost a total of 12.5 pounds since Jan. but I have stalled. I haven't lost anything in 2 weeks. I run/walk most days and earn an additional 400 plus calories to eat but I am not always sure of the accuracy of the foods and the exercises that are already plugged in. Also,…

Welcome Danny! It is a wonderful site. It does seem like it's a slow process but it works. I started the first week of Jan and I have lost 12.5 pounds. I am also down a size. It's a healthy way to lose weight and you will start seeing the results of your hard work soon. The first few weeks will be hard. I was very grouchy…

Thanks for the info! I think I can do without the olive oil from now on. :)

Added! :smile:

I'm in the same boat. :( I read about zig zagging but I'm kind of scared to try it since I have been 1200 or under since Jan. I run everyday and stay at or under 1200 and nothing is happening. The 12.5 pounds came off very slowly. :(

Edited to add: 20 oz. (the hot-drink Venti size) of whole milk is about 370 calories... that means that the other 330 comes from the syrup/flavoring and whipped cream. Good grief! Hahaha, that was my favorite drink at Starbucks too until I found out how many calories. I now drink the skinny vanilla latte. I think the venti…

The first two weeks were h@#$ for me! But by the third week I was running a mile a day. I started the second week of Jan. and I am now running two miles every other day! My body craves exercise now and I have lost 12.5 pounds. Don't give up! I still have a bad day once in a while and then I remind myself how miserable I…

lol, I always try to visualize my glass measuring cup. This will be handy but I really need to buy a scale.

I don't think it's a bad thing. I am usually over my protein too. I've lost 12.5 pounds so far and feel great! :bigsmile:

Sorry, I did get it wrong. lol

What is that saying that Jillian Michaels always says on BL? Fail to plan is a plan that will fail? I truly believe it. I plan my day out the night before. I am a teacher so I keep back up snacks in my classroom to have when I get tempted to snack. I love the laughing cow wedges, 100 calorie snacks, almonds, fruit...... I…

I've had a "bad" day before and lost weight that week. I go by my weekly average. If you have the app for the iphone, it's the middle tab on the home page. :bigsmile:

Don't give up! I had two weeks where I barely lost anything and then I had a 1.5 pound loss this week. :)

I always eat a small portion of what I normally would eat. If I didn't allow myself my treats, I would binge big time!!!!

I agree, it's trial and error. I was very grouchy at the beginning.:sad: I have also learned to not deny myself but to use portion control on things that I love to eat. I am a potatoes girl and I will allow myself to have a fraction of the total serving. If not, I know I will binge. :bigsmile:
