Alright, I'm in as long as it's not an elimination challenge and I can't promise to be here every week.
I'm Sarah, 32/169lbs, GW~130lbs.
Today I did the warm up walk 5min @ 3.5mph and then finished the mile in 12min 45 sec, running at 5.5mph.0 -

Thanks for joining me Sarah :-) Happy to be working with you again! And no, no elimination challenge. Too hard to keep up with, and I'll be starting my master's thesis in October :-P0 -
I will be able to jump back in on the challenges in about 2 weeks. Right now, with the kids home, I have no time to get out walking or running or to the gym. So I've only been doing what I can at home. 2 weeks until school starts
Yay! 0 -
Hey!! This is Mo. Goal weight of 160. Weighed in today at 195.2 so I have a long way to go. Losing weight is such an uphill task for me and I keep falling off the wagon
N-e-who. I am here now and thats all that counts!!
Today I ran at 5.2 for 1/2 a mile/ then 4.0 for .1 mile,/ then 5.2 for .2 miles, /then 4.0 for .1 / then 5.2 for .1 miles to finish the 1 mile in 12 minutes. I am NOT a runner and was super impressed by this.
Here is to getting to 160 pounds!!!0 -
Today (Tue) I ran another mile. Alternated between 5.2 and 4.0 for a total time of 15 minutes at an incline of 3.5 on the treadmill.0

Today was my first mile....
Walked/Ran the track at our gym....took me 22 minutes to run/walk. I was also breaking in new shoes and now have a blister on the underside of my left big toe (wtf?!)0 -
Also, if you didn't know... I reset my weight loss ticker. I am at 275 pounds (which is 35 pounds down from my starting weight last year).0
