    Nicole, hope the marathon went well! I've been thinking about trying running, but every time I've tried it before I always get so out of breath so quickly--any tips?

    Got on the scale tonight: 178 lbs

    Yeah! It looks like the numbers on the scales are going down. I will post the updated number list on Friday. If I don't see a post on here from you-I will message you directly to see if you are still want to be on here. I know sometimes, people drop out of threads. If you are dropping off, please message me...but don't drop off:sad: We can do this together!

    Okay..............I did it! I ran a marathon. It was amazing. I ran it much faster than I thought I could ever imagine. Another thing-I saw a bunch of friends from college on the sidelines, we said hello-it was great to see them weighing less than I did when I got out of college-16 years later!.

    Jess-I never thought I could run. I only started in January...I tried last year for a few weeks around late spring, and then gave up. So in January, I set out on a plan to lose some weight and run a half in April. Now here I am:)....I don't know if I will ever run a full again. It is a lot of training time and I like to be home with the family on the weekends seeing I work full-time....but I am surely up for another full!

    I trained by using this method...I forget what it is called...it is not the C25K, though I have heard good things about that. I will let you know asap...one thing I know now, is it is mind over matter!
