    Anxious! Wow!!! That's amazing in that small amount of time! Def stick to doing what you like. I decided I was proud to admit I hated running..because I do! I decided I don't need to fit in with the fit crowd and can be my own fitspiration with the kick-*kitten* cardio and strength training I do at home. And I love it, because it's what works for my body and keeps me coming back for more! You look...well...HOT!!!!!

    Congrats on the hard work. How tall are you? I started my weight loss on March 5 with a goal of 60 lbs. I am 6-3 and started at 255.

    I am just shy of 6'1", so I always just round down and enter my height into these things as 6' even.

    Well, being called "HOT!!!!!" is always a fine bit of inspiration to stick with it :-D

    I also hated running. But I do it because I was never good at it as a kid ... so I turned it into a challenge for me. That way, even if I hated it, I just wanted to know that I could do it. I actually started running last year and ran 8-miles in the Baltimore Relay, and this year I'm running a 10K across the Bay Bridge.

    That said, I do it at my own pace and run just enough that I always get better at it without getting tired of doing it.

    That's why finding MFP and learning about the science behind calorie counting was such a great thing for me. It helped me understand the process. And once I understood the process, and wasn't letting someone's "Program" (Weight Watchers) decide for me, it all mentally fell into place.

    I no longer had that feeling of dreading diet/exercise, because I felt better educated about what I was doing.

    Now I eat more than I ever did when I was on WW and I work out far less. And I'm still losing the same average amount of weight and I feel totally healthy doing it, instead of feeling constantly run down.

    This! I have found the same thing - thanks to the fine people I have met and keep meeting on MFP. Thanks for sharing! Your story is very inspiring!
