  • You are welcome. Once it was explained to me it made obvious sense. Just wish I would have opened up about my struggles earlier so then my friend could have told me exactly what I was doing wrong ;)
  • Well to put it quite simply...it is working! :) I was getting very discouraged because I had not lost a single pound in 7 weeks of training for my half marathon and eating back my burned calories bc I thought I could. Needless to say, I started to only eat 100 or so more calories than my original goal of 1200 on days I…
  • She told me that just because I burned 600 calories or so, running 7 miles, didn't mean I should go and eat an extra 600 calories that day just because I burned those in theory.

  • I am also a mother of a 2 year old...degree in elem ed but am currently a nanny. I desperately need to lose my last 15 lbs and need to quit putting it off. I'd love to be part of a group that supports and motivates each other. It's easy to get discouraged when you are doing all that you think you can and are still not…
  • I'm 5'5'', 154 lbs, and wear a size 6. I would love to lose about 15 more pounds but it seems that the more I obsess about it, the harder it gets. I am currently training for a 1/2 marathon and watching my calories and have lost NOTHING over the past 3 weeks. So frustrating. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong. I honestly…
