Comments on: Leptin Levels and Obesity http://phitnphat.wordpress.com/2007/08/30/leptin-levels-and-obesity/ Information and stories about how a personal trainer uses nutrition and exercise to keep off 100 lbs. of lost weight.

I have lost about 25lbs and am about 2-3 lbs away from goal...at 20 points a day and training for half marathons, however, eventually I stopped losing. (And of course, I rarely ate my APs, cause hey, who doesn't want to lose faster?) After reading this and some of the other info you've posted, I feel better about needing to eat more to hit goal with my current level of activity. WW as it stands needs tweaking for people who are more active (or not starting out from being completely sedentary) -- so I really appreciate this post, thank you!

I have been strength training hard since May. I eat clean. But my weight is up about 2 pounds. Could it be muscle? How long does it take to build a pound of muscle? I have a question.

I just get conscious of going slow when I'm outside because I know it's easy to go fast. Run what you think is way too slow. As you get used to running outside you'll eventually learn a good pace for you. Cori…

I keep reading on people's blogs about what they're eating on WW and how it's over their points all the time. But they don't ever count calories and realize that they are completely starving themselves! (not to mention a lot of WWers don't do a lot of exercise, particularly weight training, so they are just killing their metabolisms!) I love this post!

I know how fast I run on the treadmill and can keep it up for quite a while. However, when I get outdoors, I get exhausted quickly....I'm thinking I am running faster because I am not paced by the t-mill. How do you pace yourself indoors & then outdoors? Thanks!
