Love this thread! -How often do you run? I work shifts so it depends, but usually about 3 times a week, with 1-2 yoga sessions on non-running days - How far, on average, do you run each time? 3-4 miles.

I remember thinking at the time though that I didn't want to be any thinner because my boobs were already vanishing! I wasn't keeping track of what I was eating, but I…

Braeburn apple, sliced, with almond or cashew butter - yummy! I also had a Danio 0% fat high protein greek yogurt yesterday and I didn't feel hungry again for hours.

Quote: "However, when I didn't eat exercise calories, I would get really dizzy and even had to go to a doctor" I get this as well! It's really frustrating. Diffrerent things work for different people, but I've found a couple of ways round it. One way round it is to exercise first thing in the morning (sucks getting up…
