I plan to focus on exercise in 2013, I would love to run a 5K. It may sound crazy, but I would also like to watch the season of "Biggest Loser". It truly inspires me and each year I plan to watch it and then just don't have the time. I want to make clean eating choices and lose weight......to help prevent health problems. I would love to be healthier this time next year than I have been since in my 30's.

Hello ladies-I am hoping you don't mind me joining your group. I am Nicole and 44. I was always fit and in shape until 2006. I ran cross country and track in hs and college and beyond and ran consistently until 2006. Between 2006 and now I put on a lot of weight due to lots of stress and the death of my mom and sister. I got on the never ending merry go round of stress and comfort eating and hating what I have become only to feed that with more eating! Makes a lot of sense I know!

I am looking to get my old self back, lose the weight and get back into running and would love to be part of your running group. I welcome a place to talk about running goals, races etc. with other runners. Here are my goals;

1. Lose all the weight that I have gained since 2006-about 160 pounds. It is going to take a long time and more than a year but I am going to tackle it in 10 pound increments.

2. Get back into running and racing. I am currently walking with jogging thrown in and am working on adding more jogging and less walking until it is all running. I am currently looking at the local race schedule to see what my husband and I want to run. I really used to love racing and really miss it.

3. Get on a good weight lifting schedule 3 times a week.

4. Stop the comfort and stress eating and get back to clean/healthy eating.

Good luck to everyone on their goals and Happy New year!
