Hey everyone! I am new to this site although my weight loss journey started a little while ago. I graduated college and decided I was tired looking in my closet thinking, when I lose weight this will look awesome! So I lost 12 pounds, and felt pretty good but never reached my goal of 20. Of course now after the holidays I put a few back on and need to refocus! I am trying to motivate myself because I plan on running the Atlantic City half marathon with a good friend in October! Happy that this website was recommended to me!!!

    Welcome aboard!! I have not been on this site long but I have to tell you it is great. I have received great advice from so many people, not only do I hold myself accountable but MFP hold me accountable as well. Feel free to add me as a friend:smile:

    Thats awesome!~!... I have met alot of people on here that run or that use running as a goal. (I have not yet been able to run ANYTHING, but its still a goal!~!)

    Congrats on loosing the first 12!~!, I hope me and other ppl here can help support you with the rest! Ive been trying for 3 years to loose SOMETHING, I just started again a few weeks ago.... so I can use your support and encouragement also!~!

    Welcome,

    You like many others here (including me) appear to have a long-distance run as a goal a little-way down the line. There are loads of good threads here with advice on training etc.

    Hope all goes according to plan for you

    If anyone has any advice on training for a half-marathon, or a full one for that matter, I would love to hear from you!
