I lost weight running 2-3 miles a day but I was in my early 20s. Everyone's metabolism and body is different. Some of my friends had to eat a lot less and run a lot more to lose weight.

It depends on how many calories you are eating. Calories in. Calories out.

They say to work off a bag of crisps you have to run 1.5h at speed 12 if you're over 30.

You need to go for cardio mainly, no weights. Keep your heart pumping with lunges, running, squats...

You can lose weight by simply cutting calories. I lost 30lbs on ww by learning portion control

NP - what did you do when you got hungry? I just started WW this month and I'm ravenous most of the day and especially in the evenings. Congrats on your success!

np: veggies, veggies and more veggies. the only way to really make WW work for a lifetime is to change the way you eat in addition to portion control. IOW, you have your fish or chicken and then you have 3 vegetables on the side or 2 and a salad. i snack on cucumbers, baby carrots and grape tomatoes. i limit wheat products as well, eating rice or sweet potatoes for carbs.

Thanks so much for your response. I'm so hungry and I always crave carbs, I think that feeds on itself. I'll buy more veggies!

you do realize that it's not a threshold situation. Every increase in caloric expenditure, combined with every decrease in caloric consumption, adds up to either weight loss, or at least a slower pace of weight gain. If you expend 1700 calories in exercise and reduce your baseline food consumption by 1700 calories, you lose a pound.

This is really tough. How long have you been dealing with this client? Do you have a good or bad relationship? Does he/she have a superior who see that these are issues (is CC-ed on emails where you ask for things by certain deadlines)?

He is just awful at his job. Usually he throws vendors/agencies under the bus. I am tough so he does not try that with us, but he does not support us or defend us (especially when he's the one who screws up).

It's been a year. Client has a boss who is useless and not involved in the day-to-day. If his boss were any good, he'd have gotten rid of this guy long ago. Client is a nice guy but this is wrong role for him and I am forced to be the bad cop and do his job.

Aside from being awful day to day, how is this impacting you? Does your supervisor think that you are screwing up or does he/she understand the client problem. What does your supervisor say to do about it?

My supervisor knows our client is inept and acknowledges I am doing everything I can. Our client's inefficiencies make my job so much more difficult since I'm constantly following up, re-hashing, re-explaining...

I know exactly how you feel. I have had a female client like this and honestly half of my job was covering my ass in emails and making stalking phone calls to get the information I needed. It added so much anxiety to my life. Honestly, I just stopped working on her projects. This was my choice because I had many clients. You're kind of screwed. Can you move off this business somehow?

Ok. I'll rewrite it with my key board. Jesus christ. You're an adult and you can control your actions. If you don't want to be abusive, don't be abusive. Better? The message is still the same. The wallowing in it and move on with your life.

OP: I've finally made the decision to go no contact. It's extremely difficult because I have a large family that includes mostly people who only see the "charming" side of this relative. I will probably become the bad guy.

Ok, I will elaborate for you. My parents used lose it on me for small things and go into those yelling rants, completely useless, except to intimidate and scare you. That wasn't discipline. My mom never hit, but she called me an idiot and loser, I was not older than 6-7.

Agree. Start out with self awareness and therapy. After having kids, the abusive behavior might be an automatic reaction sometimes, but you will retrain your mind to do it the right way. I'm sure you will be an awesome mom, op. Don't punish yourself for something that was not your fault.

Everyone has an opinion...and I don't really think the BEST thing makes sense. Most of the district 2 schools are strong, lots on the UES but some people love PS 40, on 2nd Ave & 20th St. Dist 2 covers a big area. Why change if you like what you have now?

There are many good neighborhood public schools. None are more "top-notch" than any other. There are differences. I guarantee you that the top students from every public school (including some mediocre ones) get into the same great middle and high schools. Do parents in Chappaqua, Scarsdale, and other suburbs really obsess over which elementary school might be a little better than another. Nope. In fact, it is the high schools people care about, and that's how suburbs are judged. An elementary school in a suburb without a top high school, but actually be a wee bit better than one in the top high school's 'hood, but do you think parents fret about that? They don't.

OK, point taken. We are looking for more space, which is why we are considering it. I'd like for us to always be in walking distance. Same question- can you think of any middle or high schools in Manhattan that would be worth looking into? It's not that far off for us- we're just casting about right now though.

You're already there. 234, 276 and 89. Southern BPC is by far best neighborhood - right on water, often water views, loads of parks and playgrounds, 5-10 min walk using walking overpass across West to where 1/2/3 and 4/5/6 converge and are two blocks apart, next year will have even more access underground to Fulton Street when World Finance complex is finished and 276 has a middle school

The presumption is that the siblings are qualified, so it's not so egregious. Perhaps raise the bar to 98% for sibs to get automatic placement in citywide and 95% for district

we have not had good luck with their providers - can you go out of network? they will still pay 70-80% after your deductible. I'm not sure how good they are with it we're waiting to find out. GL
