Ovarian Cysts and Exercise

What size are you now?
Anyone want to share their success so far in fitting into new sizes? I think size is the most accurate depiction of a change in your body as opposed to weight. I have gone from a size 30 (10) to a size 27 (4) in jeans. I have gone from a size M to size S in tops. I have gone from a size 8 dress to a size 4. Good luck to…

Calories burned hiking
When you enter the amount of time you went hiking do you count the downhill part as "hiking" as well or just as brisk walking? The trail I go on is uphill all the way then back down is just complete downhill.

No weight loss in 3 weeks
I was wondering if someone could take a look at my diary for the last two weeks and maybe let me know what's going on with my lack of change. (If you look before that, I was not fully filling things out, but eating the same way.) I am on a 85% raw food diet, I eat back my exercise calories, and I work out almost everyday.…
