i know i'm going to jinx it, but i'm happy to say i've lost 3 pounds. in 3 weeks. which is MUCH better than the gaining 3 pounds in 3 weeks stint i was on in december. and with 13 weeks until my half, i'm hoping i follow the same slow weight loss of a pound a week. especially with my increasing mileage...i'll be able to eat the same and lo and behold, my pants fall off!! and who wouldn't love that?
because here's the thing. i love food. i love bacon, and potato chips. and chocolate cake. and cotton candy. and fried chicken. and beer. and cheese. and i don't think i have to give up any of it for any amount of time. i don't have to eat as much of it or as often, but to live a life NOT being able to eat the great splendors of the buffet table sounds pretty sad to me. as long as i can run strong and my pants size is smaller than my shoe size, i think i'll be ok not looking like jessica biel.

The pants to shoe size ratio is a tricky one for me -- my feet are really small!
But I agree, I do HEART bacon as well. I would cover the world in bacon, if possible.
I ran a half marathon in November and when we ran through one neighborhood, you could smell bacon. And at the marathon I ran in December, one house was giving out beer on the course at 9:00am!!!
Two words: Portion control. Otherwise known as Weight Watchers. It's the only way to go b/c you can eat whatever you choose, but it teaches you to recognize when you're being a hog. I've lost 7.5 lbs. on it (lost 12 five years ago; metabolism is slower these days). There's a thread on their message board called "Eat more, lose more," which details a modification to the plan for people who are active. That's the one I follow. Let me know if you want details, but really, judging by your photo, you are TINY.
i heart bacon too.
just wanted to say that. :o)
