Marathons & Lifting
I'm not much of a runner so to speak, but I got into it a little bit last year and ran a couple of 5K's. Towards the end of the year, I decided I wanted to put my focus on lifting.

Stuck in a Rut
I started September 1, 2010.... I've lost 40+ pounds to date. I'm extremely pleased with this, but it seems as though the last few weeks, it's just stopped. I'll be down one day, up way more the next. Back and forth and getting no where. I'm 1500 calories/day, 45-60 minutes of cardio and strength training program -4 to 5…
