Got my work cut out for me here!

So...hi there! I've been a member of this site since January but haven't really done much with it, and my plans for losing weight all got derailed. Maybe actually USING MFP will help, lol.

A little about me: I'm 35, 5 foot 3 and have about 100 pounds to lose. I like to motivate people but need some motivation myself sometimes too. I'm also a gigantic goof with a long long long long term goal of running a marathon (would LOVE that marathon to be Boston, but any will do...I used to run but am just now getting back into it).

Anyone out there in a similar situation, or with similar needs/goals?

I too have my work cut for me. Not because I have some crazy goal like running a marathon (LOL I hate running, just not my thing), but because I have a lot of weight to lose and I have tried and failed so many times. I really trying this time to keep focused and not life be my excuse for not succeeding. I too am 5'3" shorties Unite!

LOL! I never saw running a marathon as a crazy thing to do but it kind of is... One thing I know for sure is, it gets easier when I get lighter (I was able to run something like 1 hour solid before, but was about 40 pounds lighter). It seems that a lot of people just keep trying and failing - but you CAN do this! Just focus, and like Kangoo said - kick some butt

And, don't they say good things come in small packages? Maybe they meant short packages...

Yep - that's the plan...some butt kicking sounds fun right now!
