in Success Stories
I've always enjoyed participating in dog activities, but as time has gone on I've done less of the activities that have me moving with the dogs and more that have the dog doing most of the moving.

In 2007 I went on a trip with some friends of mine. I was really disappointed that I couldn't keep up with them when sight seeing. Then, in 2012, I was not able to do a zipline with them. We have another get together happening in summer 2014 and this time I do not want to be left behind. I'm not going to be sidelined by myself yet again. So I decided that I had to get fit no matter what.

I started with My Fitness Pal in December 2012 and planned (hoped) to lose 135+ lb in 18 months and be ready to do whatever my friends have planned. So far, in 10 months, I've lost 100 lbs! I completed C25k (along with my youngest dog), have gotten pretty good at figuring out the weight machines in my gym, bought and am riding a bicycle, and started swimming again. My additional goals at this point, in addition to why I started in the first place, is to finish a sprint triathlon and to finish a half marathon.

I'm really excited about how well I'm feeling now!
