Half Marathon Training
I am training for a half marathon in September. I am using the "Smartcoach" plan from runners world. My problem is I have to run in the morning but I also have to meet up for folks for PT (in the military).

Losing Inches not Weight _ A Skeptic
So I have spent the past hour utilizing the "Search" function in the forums to research losing inches not weight while I graze upon my Thai Chopped Chicken salad (yes it is amazing!...the salad that is).

Trying to find Fiber
I have been stalled at my weight now for nearly 6 months and I guess it is time to try a "lower" carb diet, I had been eating around 140 grams a day. However as I enter low carb recipes in the recipe creator, I am finding that so many veggies don't have as much fiber as I thought. I try to get 25+ grams a day as I am prone…
