I started my journey Jan 24 of 2011, and I have dropped 50lbs, ran a 1/2 marathon, and most of all gained my life back. Thanks for all the motivation you all have given me throughout the year. Now onto the next chapter of losing this last 15 lbs and training for my marathon debut on Oct 28th 2012, at the Marine Corp Marathon in VA. SO excited!

    Great job!! Is that how you lost the weight because you trained for the half marathon? I plan to run my first half marathon in September 2012, I just started training and I never have been one to love jogging ( running) But I love the feeling now and I feel like I am loosing more all over and just feel better ~ If you have any pointers I would love to hear them :bigsmile:
