    I am signed up to run a 10K in the middle of May (first ever race!) and I need motivation as well. I know I can do it...I just am not motivated to get out there and run now to train. I am overweight by about 20-30 lbs, so losing weight in the process would be a huge plus!
    Sounds like you're doing a lot of exercise, so I'm sure you're on the right track. You can do this!!
    I'll add you as a friend.

    So, I want to lose about 20lbs too. I started at 164 and now I am somewhere btw 156- 160lb. Every week I want to see 155lbs just to pat myself on the back. I started in Feb, mid to late, not sure cause I stopped using this when i got frustrated and then they removed my account. So I'm back now and trying not to slack off. I too could use some motivation. However you sound like you are really doing well. Are you keeping up with your classes and running that you posted about? Did u just start?
