My issue is that I was running, never ate them back but now Im stuck. I lost 40lbs and in late July Ive hit the wall. I dont know what exactly I am doing or not doing. Im thinking now I need to eat those calories back.

Ive heard to try this. I think I'll so that. Thanks!

A little more info... I am a runner. I started running when i started to lose weight. I also sprinkle in weight training. I always measure my portions. I was doing weight watchers which was a good starting tool, which I just cancelled and now i am doing MFP exclusively. Measuring food and doing exercise is not my issue. I…

Did you do this all with this site alone?

Okay, Im going to cancel WW!! I can always re-join later if I need to. Thanks everybody

I dont even go to the meetings anymore. I ditched that after a couple months. The people there were so depressing and unmotivating. If I know people are losing here and its proven than I am more likely to just make the switch. I have learned a lot by being on WW. Im leaning towards cancelling and just taking it to the next…

Pop Chips: 120cal for 20 chips

Polar FT4. Comes with a watch and the band that goes around your chest. Ive used mine for 3 months and it works great. I bought it on Amazon for $75. http://www.amazon.com/Polar-FT4F-Heart-Monitor-Watch/dp/B0031ZK84E

I use the polar ft4. http://www.amazon.com/Polar-Womens-Heart-Monitor-Bronze/dp/B001U0OFD2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318534425&sr=8-1 Solid. You enter your weight, age, height, etc. It DOES come with a strap you put around your chest and the watch will tell you how many calories you've burned

Go to skinnytaste.com and find the chicken and feta recipe. I used chicken breast instead. ITS SOOOOO good.

Still on the fence. I am still with WW. I started with meetings that did not help so I switched to online. Since March Ive lost 42lbs. What I find now with MFP is that the food database with WAY more advanced with much more options. Its scary how they have almost everything I plug in. The Points Plus systems is getting…

LOL, nice

The more you run the longer you can go. The trick is to go a little further each time. I started out walking and running. I run until I feel I must walk. As soon as I catch my breath, I go again. Now, I can jog 5 miles in 45min which I am trying to improve on. I did a half marathon which I jogged 9 miles straight and…

Its 10/11 and I have ran 21.85 miles. Im totally on pace.

OMG, thank you so much for posting this. I am almost in the same boat as you were. I have lost 40lbs with another 20 to go and I have been fluctuating between 215-218 for almost 3 months. Im going to take your advice and up my calorie intake (eat all my calories per day) and possibly change my goal to 1lb a week instead of…

The only scary part for me is that I have lost 40lbs doing weight watchers since March 2011 so its a proven thing for me. Ive been doing MFP for a couple months, just to compare.

I only run outside. I hate treadmills. I'll try the intervol running. Thanks!!

I currently run 5 miles at 45 minutes. Its challenging but I do feel like its getting monotonous. Are there any routines out there that are written out for you to follow?
