    It's weird but I have always been self conscience of riding rides because of my weight, now that I have a 5yo that loves to ride amusement rides I want to have that satisfying feeling that I "fit" and can ride the ride.

    Hmm...there are a few things, but the biggest thing will be shopping in the "normal" section of a store-and not having to go to Lane Bryant for a bra anymore! (sorry if that's TMI!)

    I just have to say- I can't believe how joining yesterday gave me motivation to set a goal and work towards achieving it.
    It's just been great today- I ran for an hour this morning and biked for an hour after work. I believe I'm under my calories for the day b/c I burned over 1000 calories doing vigorous exercise today. At this rate, I will lose 10# by the first week in Sept.
    Thanks everyone for joining this challenge. Add me if you like- I would love to have buddy support and am happy to offer you support along your journey.
