  • I had the same problem. Started lifting weights, wasn't even trying to drop anymore weight and more pounds started melting off. The thing is, the weight training if done regularly, will really up your metabolism. I've read your body burns more calories for up to 36 hours after a good weight training session. I would never…

  • Come on guys! 31 pounds is amazing. When you have 90 pounds to lose the differences are not going to be as obvious at first. When your clothes are getting loose that should be all the indication you need that you are getting smaller. Geesh. Keep up the good work.

  • I've been doing Triathlon training. Most of the progress came from running, and calorie counting, but I decided to try a Triathlon a couple months back and now I'm biking and swimming along with the running. I think mixing up 3 sports makes a huge difference cause it's 2 more things your body has to adjust to. Try to add…

  • We keep hearing 'Balsamic Vinagerette' lol. I'm in the same boat as you, was using Ranch on my salad everyday, but just switched to Balsamic Vin. yesterday, tried it for the first time, it's really good! This is going to save me a lot of calories over the course of a year!

  • Agree. Eat the calories back. It will keep you on pace to make your goal for the week. It's ok to be under somedays and over others just try to get close to your goal everyday.

  • Tracy I would just look for a program that is specific to your area of problem. That's what I did, and it turns out that a lot of people have created specific routines for specific problem areas. I bought books that deal with low back pain and do the stretches / yoga / pilates routines that they recommend. It turns out…

  • rseitz101, I wouldn't argue any of that with you. You sound like a guy who's been doing it longer, better, and faster than I ever will! How I'd love to say I ran a sub 16 minute 5k! Glad to have you on here. I just know my own body, and I have plenty of FAT that is unneccesary on my body and have directly experienced…

  • Thanks for all the replies! Let me see if I can comment on a few of the comments: SuperTracyLynn - Yes, losing weight makes a HUGE difference on the ease of running. The less you weigh the more effortless running feels. I have directly experienced this myself. My first 10k (first race actually) was in august of last year,…

  • Weight training is good, studies have shown that your body is still burning calories from weight training up to 36 hours after the session. Cardio burns calories, but when you're done you're done. I have used running to drop most of my weight, but I also try to cross train 2 or 3 times a week. The obvious thing to check is…
