      Kudos to you for starting up exercise again! I always imagined that in the army everyone did loads and loads of exercise, lol.

      Don't be surprised if you have a pause in weight loss. This happens when introducing more exercise... but it's a temporary thing... and you'll still be losing inches, which is the main thing!

      Advice? Keep at it! (but don't overdo it... go with what you're comfortable with, and then a tiny bit more. Increase gradually)

                      Hi,

                      Welcome to ADBB. 4 miles a day 5x a week is great - I wish I could run that far.

                      As for advice, I'd say no. 1 read the book throughly if you haven't already and also check out these tips:

                          Hi, we are so glad you are back home safe and sound from Iraq!

                          No matter what exercise I do for the day, I make sure I eat a few hundred kcals of carbs, fat and protein before and after exercise. These mini meals keep my strength up during and after exercise.
