Dear DrSugar,
I have a problem that might seem a little odd, but I am not dieting and I am losing too much weight. I am training for a marathon, and exercise daily about 2 hours Monday through Friday (running outside mixed with swimming, spin class, body pump, and running on Treadmill). My Saturday workout is always a long run, and my Sunday workout is a short run.

Dear DrSugar,
I am currently cutting back and trying to lose some weight (as always), but this time I am sticking with it even if i have a bad day, but I am not sure how many calories I should be eating. I was talking to a friend who said if I am always hungry I am not eating enough.

One of the best things about losing weight, aside from all the amazing health benefits, is seeing progress. We all have our own ways of doing things, so I am curious about how you track your weight-loss progress.

Whether you have a goal weight in mind or are working hard to maintain your current weight, you need a way to monitor your progress. Looking at yourself in the mirror or seeing how your clothes fit works for some people, but weighing yourself on a scale is much more precise with no room for exaggeration. The scale can't lie, but fabric can definitely stretch.
So if you don't already own one, spring for an accurate, digital scale like this one from Tanita ($80).

When it comes to dieting, exercise really is the magic pill. Calorie restriction and exercise have long been known as the dieting duo necessary for success. Unfortunately the necessary amount of time spent exercising is often grossly underestimated.

"Hey Fit.
I've just started working out and I have a few friends who totally lost their boobs after they lost weight. I know this is totally vain of me, but I kind of like my bra size now.

When it comes to losing weight, I'm very wary of appetite suppressants. For one, I don't think popping pills instead of eating is healthy whatsoever, and I also worry about the effects of these pills on the body. One such pill, Hoodia gordonii (called hoodia for short), is gaining popularity.

I was reading through some posts in the Weight Loss Support Group, and user callmecheezcubes's comment really stuck out, so I wanted to share it with you guys:
"Get this — The other day I went to the doctor and the scale was three pounds less!!. Regardless if this is water weight, or whatever, you gotta celebrate the little achievements. So .

Trying to lose weight. Then eat a hearty breakfast.
New research has found that over several months, obese women who ate half their daily calories first thing fared better with long term weight loss than those eating a much smaller amount. They also found that having a small breakfast could actually boost food cravings.
