Send me her number as well, I think that's an awesome idea.  I hardly eat, yet my weight loss has stalled despite running my @ss off.

and Bravo! to you living out loud...I think it takes great courage to be so vulnerable in an open forum like this. I hope that your story will inspire others.  xoxoxoxo!

Now if you are going to win any battle you have to do one thing. You have to make the mind run the body. Never let the body tell the mind what to do. The body will always give up. It is always tired in the morning, noon, and night. But the body is never tired if the mind is not tired."

Hey Darlin'!
I'll email you the number. It's definitely a bummer when your body goes, "Oh, I guess I don't need a lot of calories to maintain" and puts the brakes on ya! But keep up the running. Remember that exercise is like breathing, you have do to it to live (not just to lose weight). And great job on the 13 min mile! It is so hard to shave time of your mile (escpecially at longer distances). Personal best or pie...I'll take the PB any day!

And finally, thanks for the kudos. I really don't like admitting my failures out loud, but i feel I owe it to the people searching these profiles for a magic wand to keep it honest. Did you see the show Dietribe? One of the friends (almost 300lbs) had WLS a couple of years ago. She said, "What they don't tell you is that results may vary." (or something to that effect)

Hugs,
Rachel

Don't buy the book.  It is $25 and very small.  But I will get you any info you need.  I am on for the 19th...

That sounds awesome. My son has b-ball games on Saturday, so I'll have to talk to DH about the logistics of the commitment. But if I can swing it, I'm there. Dr. Lamont is terrific.
