Half Marathon next Saturday
Hi guys, I will be running the OBX half marathon next Saturday, my first ever. When I started training, my plan was to walk a large portion of it, so I followed the Hal Hingdon's Walking training plan. Well, I have since decided to run it.

Can someone please explain "a calorie is a calorie"
I am by no means low-carb, and I don't think I ever could be, but I am curious if a calorie is a calorie, why do people lose weight faster (it seems) on Atkins or other low-carb diets?

Weigh ins
Hello! Quick question, how often do you suggest you weigh yourself? I have been pretty strict with my diet and exercise and so I tend to want to step on the scale at every opportunity (at least once a day) even though I know it is unrealistic to see any change. How often should I step on the scale so that I can see my…

Fruit & Veggies
I am new so I would like your opinions. Should I track all the raw fruit & veggies I eat into my daily calories? I know that in weight watchers, they are considered "free" so I have been leaving them off my tracking for the most part, except if its a snack, but not adding it if I have some salad greens or cantelope with my…
