in Success Stories
I lost and gained back 4lbs this summer so I didn't think I'd be posting any success stories here for another couple of months....as you can imagine I was pretty down on myself, BUT tonight I went running with my sister and I RAN MY FIRST EVER 3 MILES NON STOP.

I honestly never thought I'd be able to do that. I've been steadily working up to running 2 miles but I really felt like I could do 3 miles tonight and I did!

I used to hate running and was always the slowest in high school gym class so I'm pretty much bouncing off the walls right now!!

    Super awesome! I vote that you now mentally include yourself in "you running buffs." You've earned the moniker.
