Hi everyone! First time poster, but this is my third attempt at My Fitness Pal and probably my tenth time trying to lose weight. I've reach goal twice before using Weight Watchers and just can't seem to get the weight off this time.
I am a runner and am sometimes more focused on my running goals than my weight loss goals, however I know that running would be easier (and I would be faster) if I lost some of this extra weight.
I decided about 6 months ago to put the scale away for awhile because it was becoming unhealthy for me and I was experiencing a lot of negative self talk. I finally stepped on the scale on Saturday to get my starting weight and am so ready to do it this time. Any hints or tips for success are greatly appreciated

I am a "former" runner. Led me to cranky knees and gaining alot of weight. Now I am an eliptical rat/ walker/wanna be golfer. I miss running so much that I try it once in a while. My knees tell me who is in charge for a few days afterwards when I attempt it. But I have lost 50+ here since July and feel good. I am a good MFP pal. :bigsmile:0

Hey and good for you! I just got back into fitness earlier this morning and also love running. It's not always kind to my joints so I've started mixing it up with other forms of cardio workout. You're going to achieve your goal and enjoy the running even more! Get after it0

Friend request sent! I, too, have been focusing more on some running goals but I know that losing more will make it easier to meet my next goals.0
