Salutations Fellow LOTRO fans!
I'm Jen, 44 from Maryland. Married 25 yrs and blessed with 2 awesome girls ages 12 and 17.
Lost most of my weight in 2010, but struggling the past few months to lose the 8 I've gained back, and am always looking for motivation and challenges to get me through. I typically workout at the gym every weekday over my lunch hour, so much of my mileage will be hard to track, but since I love LOTRO (Aragorn mostly lol), I figured I'll track what/when I can in this fun challenge!0 -
Count me in! I'm Linda, 66, wife, mother, grandmother. I'm just getting started with treadmill and recumbent bike, and this is just what I need. Sounds like an exciting challenge.0

Welcome on the journey, Linda! We need all the people we can get on this quest. Victory will be ours!0

Wow - I LOVE this idea. I can't really walk very far every day yet, but I love the idea of a quest to follow. Count me in!0

Every journey starts with a step! I've been at this for over four years, so speed is not a factor! Welcome to our little quest!0

Hi, I'm Libby and I just found this group an hour or so ago.
I have to say, I'm pretty thrilled too. You guys just made weight loss fun for me!!!
I will have a little problem converting km's to miles, but I'm sure there is something on the internet that can do that for me!!!
I will take my first steps from Hobbitown this evening, and I can barely wait!
Happy travels

I can't believe it's been a year since I posted here last!
In that time, I've done 443km - which is 275 miles that I have actually tracked on Map My Walk. So, by the end of today I hope to have hit this goal:
"Oct. 8 - Day 16 (2 nd from Weathertop): 19 miles
279miles
19 - Camp."0 -

I AM A HUGE LORD OF THE RINGS FAN. I own all the books, and have read them over and over again. I am also watched all the movies many times. I am Al. I am ashamed to admit this, but I have heard the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I am overweight. I am a binge-eater, and I need help to quit binge eating forever. The day before I began my fitness pal I consumed approximately 8,830 calories in one day, and it wasn't even a special occasion. I calculated it. Though, I am sure there were many days in which I consumed more than this. In fact, I don't know if that day would even make my top 100 binge-eating days, but I never calculated how many calories I consumed those other days. One day I ate two medium full-size delivery pizzas loaded with toppings. Another day, my mother gave me a huge extremely sweet, rich, and chocolatey ice cream cake for my birthday, and I ate the entire cake within two days except for two small slices. In December, I went to the movie theater, and just while watching one film I consumed 3 jumbo popcorn containers with extra butter by myself. I think I could talk about my binge-eating failures for hours. However, when I am not binge-eating I eat mostly low-calorie healthy food. When I am not binge-eating I am a strong proponent for saving the environment and eating healthy, and when I am binge eating I feel like a hypocrite. Though, I love good tasting food so much that I feel like I could eat it forever. I really appreciate food that makes my taste senses explode with joy. I also binge-eat during almost all celebrations or when I am depressed. Additionally, when I am not binge-eating I think very few people eat healthier than me. I have been doing okay recently, but I do not know when I will not be able to resist the urge to binge eat again. To complicate things I am a Christian, and in Christianity over eating is considered the sin of gluttony. I am trying to get in shape because 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV reads: "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." Thus, I really want to get in as good of shape as possible spiritually and physically. Though like Frodo, I may need some support.
