Just wanted to check in with everyone! I've had a busy couple of weeks and my weight loss sort of stalled, but I picked things back up this past week and am down 2.4 lbs. All I kept thinking about this week was that I needed to get into the 230's, for weeks it seemed like I was hovering just above that and I was so frustrated. I was so excited when I got on the scale and saw that I finally broke through.

I wanted to wait to start running again until I lost a little bit more weight, just to try to prevent myself from re-injuring my foot, but I couldn't wait anymore. I keep seeing people out running and it's all I can think about, so I decided there's no time like the present. I started C210K this morning and it felt so good to run. I ended up stretching the running parts out longer because I was only supposed to do 30 second runs today, but it wasn't enough. It really did feel great to run again and I can't wait to be back to where I was last year and running for miles.

Hope everyone's having a great week & weekend!

    I was pretty stuck in the 230s too. And then when I finally broke through, the 220s seem to be going by pretty fast. I will be in complete shock if I get to the teens soon. I am currently at a 3 year low now! (and the 2nd lowest in approximately the past 8-10 years)

    Hoping to hit the teens by the time I go on a spring trip 10 NYC. If I hit the low teens, then my b-day goal might be possible (onder-land by end of may) it is pretty aggressive, but an outside possibility.

    It's going great so far...Hit a small plateau on the scale 2 weeks ago resulting in only 1 lb lost in a week...And now with my new workout and weightlifting I expect it may slow down some. The great news is I am only ounces away from Onederland - according to my weigh in this morning!!! YAY! I may cry when I hit it! LOL... haven't seen that number in at least 5 years or more!

    I was also on a stall for just a week. I am back 100% and seeing results. I am going to update the spreadsheet now. I have been walking and working out a lot more this week with the great weather here in Michigan.
