I don't feel hungry at all. Sometimes I'm amazed at how full I feel. I don't really miss eating, either, but I don't really want to lose weight so I'm concerned about losing too much. I lost three pounds the first day. I do think it makes you more conscious of what you put in your body. [ Reply | More

It has to be doing you a world of good in a lot of ways. Maybe it doesn't make a difference in your weight because you are already at a good weight. But it is so good for your heart and your muscles.

Burning calories > calorie intake = weight loss. Therefore, even if you are running 3 miles per day, if you are consuming more than what you are burning, you won't lose weight. Try other forms of cardio combined with weight resistance training. Eat clean. [ Reply | More
