    Just back from New Orleans and it's weigh-in day. Ugh!!! Time to face the fate of the weekend!

    Welcome back! I'm running a full marathon in new Orleans next year I'm super pumped for it! I feel like after running 26 miles I wont feel guilty about the amount I'm gonna eat and drink while I'm there lol.

    You are right! Absolutely entitled after running a marathon! I took a deep breath and stepped on the scale last night! Yep, it was ugly but I'll refocus and work through it! Any other races before that one?

    Its all a part of the journey right, ups and downs, hating and loving the scale, you will recoup in no time! Yeah I have a 6 5k's, two 10k's, one certain half marathon and another I'm still getting the budget right for before the full. I'm currently a long way from home so running races isn't really an option until I'm stateside again.

    I love marathons...just hate the training and dedication/ time consumption it takes to get ready for one. New Orleans should be a great one! Flat and great sights!

    That's why I'm running New Orleans for my first full marathon because its flat. It is time consuming but I love running when all things are lined up as they should.

    I'm pretty sure one of my mentors got this from a tv show but he used to tell me "your body is a tool, your mind is a tool and your soul is the architect. You are in charge of you and there is nothing you cant will your body and mind to accomplish." Its something I think about a lot when runs start to get difficult, my body is not in charge my soul is and my soul wants more.

    A recent fitness related quote that has helped me to push through that last part of my workouts is "Your mind gives up 100 times before your body ever does". Whenever I am tired and feel like stopping I just think of that quote and realize my mind is trying to give up but my feet are still moving so I got this. I don't push it too much but it definitely helps me to go that extra mile.

    Hi! I am 56 and starting over on this again. I was almost to goal when my son died and it all went downhill. This is my 3rd attempt. The first time I lied to myself and told myself it would be okay if I took a break between Christmas and New Years and it took me over a year to get back on. I have 118.4 lbs to lose and I hope we can support each other and get to know one another! Anyone who would like to add another supportive friend, just add me. Laura

    I choose waffles, am a dog person, and hate other peoples children. So that's that.

    I like this, determined to enjoy something you currently don't.

    I work out because I enjoy a good run and my hobbies make me fat.

    I'm not even going to debate this Crepes suggestion.

    Motivational slumps are common, I enjoy running but there are time I just don't effin feel like it. To be honest, I've found that when I push myself to do it anyway those are my best runs. So my suggestion is to revisit why you started in the first place and push through it.
