HI ALL!! I am lookingfor support, I'm 5'3" and will (want to) lose 25 lbs by Easter and then another 25 by mid summer.

I tore ligaments in my ankle on January 2nd after one of my step classes. That day I vowed I was going to lose the weight I had been carrying around after a tremendous amount of stress a few years ago put it on.

I am also currently training for my first 5k in three years!!!!!! on March 31 and I am super excited about that.

Let's be friends!!!! lets help each other out on this road to weight loss!!!

    Hi Cris! I am getting ready to start my very first 5K training this afternoon. I have about 10 pounds to lose to meet my goal weight. I have never been a runner, but am looking forward to the challenge. I haven't figured out a date to actually run w/ a group quite yet. I am honestly not sure where to begin! But I am doing the training for 9 weeks. I'd love to be friends and keep up with each other's progress!!
