    Thanks! I used to be athletic but excuses are the tools of the weak and incompetent. And these past 7 years excuses are all I have made. I'm hype!

    I hope to learn from everyone too. I lost 50 lbs last year.m This year I hope to lose another 50.

    I would never have guessed what worked for me.....I doubt it would work for everyone, but I get really motivated from food documentaries....I am a real food diva now...declaring this food or that as evil and basically poison. I don't eat flour, I don't eat foods with added sugar. I don't even eat meat...

    Doesn't work for everyone...but so far it's helped me...and finally, I thought I was good at jogging. At least I have always jogged my whole life. But I wasn't really good at it...been reading on what elite runners do, and that has motivated me as well.....to do a whole lot more than I ever did before. Interval training. Running more miles. Getting protein after a workout. Anyway good luck, hope to hear from you as you progress.

    I'm trying to lose altogether 268 lbs. So far, since December I've lost 51 pounds. It's a long road to travel, but I'm taking my journey 10 lbs. at a time. I'm looking for friends to keep me company during our journey.
