" Hey everyone! I wanted to thank you all again for reading and commenting on my blog. Some of you are curious about how I have maintained my weight for so long. Well, first let me say something I am sure you have all heard a dozen times before: Losing weight and keeping it off requires you to make a lifestyle change. It does not make sense to work your butt off for a few months and eat better only to stop once you reach your goal weight. If you go back to the unhealthy lifestyle you led before you lost the weight, you will go right back to where you started. This is why so many people continue to lose and gain weight back over and over again; they lead a healthy lifestyle for enough time to see results, but then they stop. If you want to continue to look great and be healthy, then you have to continue eating right and exercising. To this day I am still exercising and eating right to get in better shape. I love to workout and I do so 5-6 times a week. Running is usually my choice of cardio, but I also lift weights and take a boxing class. Right now I am in the second week of my marathon training (I&amp;#039;m running the Disney Marathon again this year!) so I will be doing a lot of running for the next six months. I&amp;#039;m excited to do another marathon even though I know how much work it will be, and I want to stay in shape, so I know it will be good for me. I hope everyone&amp;#039;s summers are going well and I hope you are all making progress with the 6-week plan. Remember not to give up! Take whatever obstacle you face, turn it into a challenge, and then find a way to work through it. Thanks for reading! -- Whitney "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
