I am a big fan of the Daily Mile. I like "chatting" about my workouts with Hilary and Holly. The ticker that tracks my weekly/monthly/total mileage gives me a boost when I doubt my training - I can just look and see how far I've come. The log gives me accountability, a record, data - love it!
One of the features on the Daily Mile calculates calories burned and total pounds burned. Since I joined Daily Mile sometime in February (I think) I've burned 21 pounds. Hmmm..... That's curious. I am not 21 pounds lighter. In fact I am, at the very most, 3-4 pounds lighter.
I will certainly admit that marathon training (with a dollop of triathlon training) has given me some permission to help myself to a bowl of ice cream. For the most part I eat pretty well. I love food, I love to cook and so my struggle is generally keeping my portions in check. I eat a wide variety of foods, most of which I prepare myself and include lots of veggies and some fruit.
This part of the ticker has me a little nervous for what happens when I am no longer running for 2+ hours on the weekend!

Let me know if you ever want me to tell you, firsthand, what happens when your level of exercise decreases and you continue to "reward" yourself with food.
