Just wanted to get some opinions.... Is it possible to train for a marathon and continue to lose weight? Or should training become the primary objective?

Accountable for my log
Hey all, Since I got back from my holiday almost a week ago I've been so glad to get back on MFP and see what you've all been up to, and get back on track with my own stuff, but I have a problem.....I've become so slack at logging!

Too much sugar!
Anybody else having trouble sticking to their daily recommended sugar allowance? After putting in all my info into MFP it told me I should be aiming for 24g sugar per day. Yesterday I got up, ate an apple, hit the gym, then got home and ate a banana and a small bowl of bran flakes with semi-skimmed milk. I was already over…
