Clearly that is not the way to do it. I think after my half in October I'm going to cut way back on exercise and focus on my eating. Not only do I want to lose weight for the wedding next July but I'm also going to start training for another marathon in January and I'd like to drop 5-10 pounds before then.<br /><br />Have you been doing any strength training? Eric swears by strength training for weight loss and I'm wondering if I need to up my strength training and cut back on my running + eating to see real results. <br /><br />Super informative post.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185652640389232120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475703851125751608.post-45479086051880928732011-09-07T11:17:34.776-04:002011-09-07T11:17:34.776-04:00Way to go!

I will probably really commit to it after my half when I am not doing all the workouts with run club. Those work outs have been good for me, but I think i need to work on my own like you have in order to get to that faster pace! I know I can do it.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6475703851125751608.post-80219221067995307472011-09-07T02:44:41.091-04:002011-09-07T02:44:41.091-04:00Great post John!

I only started reading recently (around the time we started commenting eachother!) and had no idea you have only been doing 'this' for about a year - seeing those pictures shows the amazing progress you have made!<br />As you know, I work in a school and have to eat schooldinners with the kids, so healthy eating is becoming more and more of a struggle for me - I pledged on my blog yesterday to get more of a grip on it and get my weight back down. Yesterday was also my first run in about 6 weeks.....<br />Let's do this! Thanks for all the tips and advice :) You are a real inspiration!<br />ps - as a sidenote, I always have problems opening up the page to comment on your blog?!

While most of us are no stranger to "diets" it is always helpful (at least for me) to see real world examples of those who have lost weight and seen measurable training goals accompany that loss!<br /><br />Way to go!<br /><br />I found the Fitzgerald formula online and for me to be in the range of body fat for my age group I'd have to weigh like 135 lbs...on a 5'11'' frame I'm not sure that's a reasonable goal. However, I definitely want to see the bodyfat numbers decrease. While I'm still recovering from the neuroma issue I can't run but have been swimming like a fish and started lifting weights again. <br /><br />Here's to a successful weight loss effort and success in training. <br /><br />This post was inspiring and honest, both things I enjoy in blogs. Keep it up!Alisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04468073781328699944noreply@blogger.com
