Well runners should be thankful.

For the rest of us it comes out to play whenever possible.

I'm skinnier, but weigh more (more muscle, I guess?) and I can't even complete a half-marathon. So, while I believe if you weigh less you can run faster -- I don't necessarily know about farther...

I think those who say WW doesn't work, just didn't do the work. Best wishes on doing a marathon! We 3 did Weight Watcher’s and have kept it off for more than 5 years.

And I know the less you weigh, easier it is to go faster, which sometimes is motivation enough! Definitely schedule that marathon! I just signed up for the NKE Women's Marathon lottery here, and I'm both dreading and hoping for acceptance. I could use a little training goal, esp. since it's still months away :) “Fat hides on runners” — how true, alas.

I figured out what the points amounted to in calories and it was no wonder I felt hungry a lot...but it does work.

I have a friend who's doing Jenny Craig and has lost a ton of weight. I should look into this... I need to get my act together, and my will power back first! ; ) Good for you for doing WW.

Look at it this way, you may have had to ask for help - as in following a program - but you are still doing it on your own, because nobody but you controls what you eat. The motivation to eat right and exercise comes from within, and that's all you, baby! Good for you!
