About 2 1/2 months ago my son and I signed up for the 5k run up Grandfather Mountain in N.C. Years ago I had told myself that when I turned 40yrs old I was going to try it. Well knowing that I could not run the race very effectively at 224lbs I decided to go on a diet. Since I started the diet 2 months ago I have lost 24lbs. I joined MFP about 2 weeks ago and have lost 6lbs using this program. I still have another 20lbs to lose to reach my goal. The wonderful advice on diet and excercise has really helped. I just wanted to take time to thank everyone on this site for the helpful info and encouragement you provide everyday.

    Lots and lots of cardio and was really doing it the wrong way (cut out just about everything) its a wonder I didnt go into starvation mode but now with the help of all of you and this site I have corrected my food consumption.

    Sounds great my son and I run with a group of about 6 people of all different skill levels (from brisk walking to oh my gosh running) we generally go for 1 hr and then meet back at our vehicles. The group has been very encouraging to me. My son and I usually go for runs approx. 2-3 times per week. If anything this site has shown that exercise is the staple for weight loss and encouragement from others only makes the journey that much easier.
