You're off to a good start with the running. Keep that up, and keep these things in mind:
*More protein, less carbs
*Lots of veggies and fruit
*LOTS of water
*Low/nonfat whatever you can get
*Sleep at least 6 hours a night
*Try to eat every 3-4 hours: it helps speed up your metabolism, and always eat something after you workout.
****MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT. If I were you, I wouldn't set a weight goal, but a SIZE goal. With all that running, you'll get strong legs.
Lean muscle is good. Weight is just a number on a scale.
Good luck!

Thank you!!!

I'm a laid-back 26 year old with a Psychology BA, starting my MA program, and working my way into the field as quickly as I can. It took me an extra Bachelor's degree (in vocal performance and creative writing) to figure it out, but I was put on this Earth to help, to heal, and to love.

I have made the decision to dedicate my life and career to helping others. I am here to do just that.

I've been a member since 2004, and since I signed up, I've gone through quite a lot and learned quite a lot from it. I'm here to give guidance where I had none; no one should have to go through the difficulties I went through alone.

Feel free to visit my website/blog, if you want to read my experience with domestic violence and my thoughts on it.

***While I do tend to answer mental health and other health-related or medicine-related questions, I am by NO MEANS a licensed physician or practitioner of any sort. Any and all advice I give for these questions is from my own experience or studies.***

If you need to get a hold of me quickly, my screen name on AIM is SirenCytherea. Just let me know you found me here.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that there are no stupid questions except the ones left unasked, so, please, keep an open mind, heart, and mouth.
