New, but not new to the weight loss roller coaster

km2tzmania

Hi everyone! I'm new to this site and I hope it helps keep me on track. I am a mom of 5 and my kids range from 11 yrs to 9 mos. I am going to be 39 in October and have finally said enough with my 200 lb 5'5" self! I started running in March with the couch to 5k program and have already completed 3 5k runs. Now, let me say...the first run I completed running lol! The 2nd run was a mud run and I twisted my ankle during that one about a 1/3 of the way so I completed that one walking. This last one on Saturday was a fun run called Color Me Rad and I broke my toe the night before, so I started out running and then finished walking when I couldn't take the pain anymore. Having 5 kids has done a number on my body and I am hoping to get back to a decent weight (125-135) so that I can have some excess skin remove, get away from the borderline diabetic, and reduce my blood pressure. Not to mention help out my back and knees! Oh my, I sound like a little old woman who is falling apart LOL! I can't wait to see everyone's progress, make new friends and hopefully motivate someone else out there :flowerforyou: Enjoy the rest of your day!
