in Introduce Yourself
I'm on day two and I'm loving this site. I have been on the HMR weight loss program since Sept 24th 2013 and have since lost 78 lbs. I haven't exercised in years not even walking and now I'm running a 5K a month. I walk 4 miles 5 days a week and run 4 miles 4 times a week. I hope this record keeping will really show me where I need to work on and show me my strengths and weaknesses.

Eric.

    you should. when i first started at 285 lbs I couldn't even walk to the end of the block. but now I'm running 4 miles. somedays are harder than others, but I just continue on and rest at the end of my run not during my run.

    that is so awesome.....I think if I tried to run any further than to the end of the block and back, I would keel right over and flop around on the sidewalk like a fish out of water, gasping for breath.....it wouldn't be a pretty sight!!!.....you go!!! fantastic job!!!:)

    thank you. but you can do it. I never thought I would feel this way but I'm really addicted to the high I get from running. esp when i'm done and i cool down. omg it doesn't get any better than that.

    btw, i just started running in Dec of 2013.

    Great success so far! Congrats! This site will definately help you with your food tracking after a while it will become second nature to think about what you are eating. Great work so far and good luck on your future success! :drinker:
