She was not losing weight despite training and completing a half marathon. Three months ago she started listening to the podcast and decided to take some of our advice. She's a vegetarian but wasn't eating the best quality foods. She changed that. She also wasn't lifting weights, which she changed also. We share some tips for eating a healthier diet. Jane wrote in about her past experience with losing weight. It went way back to when she was a kid watching her mother try Weight Watchers and every other diet under the sun. It got Jeff and Russ thinking about all the things that they grew up with and how those things might have kick started their weight problems.
