Rapid weight gain caused by ecigs?
I gave up smoking in July. In the 4 months since then my weight went gradually up from 9stone 12lbs to 10stone 3lbs. It stayed there a while and has now gone up to 10stone 6lbs. I run 7 km 4 times a week and am sure I haven't been eating any more than normal. Could it be the ecig I'm using? Do they cause bloating or fluid…

Whats the point of exercise if it doesn't change your shape?
I asked this question on a different page of this forum and I think it was misunderstood. My question is - if someone is a perfect weight for their height and then starts running every day and burning 750 calories approx per run but doesn't lose any weight, does the running make any positive changes to their body?

6 months of running, no great weight loss :(
Hi there, I've been running 7-10km 5 times per week for 6 months now and I think I've toned up, even though I've read somewhere here that there's no such thing as toning up. However, I have only lost 5lbs going from 10 stone 3 to 9 stone 12. It feels very disheartening as I have been careful with diet too. I'm one of those…

For the past 3 months, however, I have on average either run for 30-40 mins or spinned for 1 hour every other day. I'm now comfortable running 7km. I haven't really altered my diet,…

Eating over the 1200 calorie limit. Will I still lose?
Hi all, basically I am 143lbs and would like to be 126lbs. Im 5'7". I asked MFP to lose 2lbs per week and it gave me 1200 as my calorie total per day.
