You are my new inspiration! Congratulations. Perhaps 200 days from now I can post some awesome photos too! I need to figure out how to get motivated to do the walking part and increase my endurance. I can barely do 20 minutes and that is not at a fast pace. I did bring my sneakers to work today - so I guess today will be Day 1. :happy:

Its a deal! I will be back 200 days from now looking for you!

Just love yourself for where you are at. Weightloss & fitness is not a linear path, so sometimes it will feel more like you're going in circles, but rest assured: its a spiral staircase and you are always making progress! Be open to your journey.... great things lay ahead!

thank you everyone!! :blushing: Its just nice to mark this day, because oddly, it really feels "special" to me to hit my 200 day mark :drinker:

To the ppl who mentioned the running, I too am a C25K'er and i HIGHLY recommend it! (started C25K in October 2010) If you are a walker and you don't think you're ready for running yet, thats cool, i was there too. Just walk at a moderately fast (to you) pace for the "walk" segments and walk at a fast pace (push it!) for your "run" segments. Build up your endurance and repeat weeks if you need to! Its ok!!

Someday you will break into a jog and you will be able to get those 60 seconds completed. Don't over-do it though. Rest is just as vital to you as hard work is... we need both.

To those who are already running and looking to get faster and go further, we'll all have to turn to more experienced runners for advice as i am new to this too LOL. I have height and long legs on my side and i think that helps enormously. That and i am freakin' bull-headed :laugh:
