    So good to see this, I'm also 5'10" and started in June at 225 pounds.
    For now I'm aiming for 170 as a goal.

    Your photos give me inspiration, hope, and a good idea of what I'm aiming for, thanks for posting.

    You look GREAT!!! I started last week and I also am 5' 10" and weighing in at 252lbs. My goal weight is 160, its what I weighed when I got married...well four children later and 8 eyeballs watching everything I do, I totally understand wanting to be a role model for your children.
    You've inspired me and hope to be friends, I thought motherhood was lonely...I don't want my weight loss journey to be lonely too. Keep up all of your hard work!

    Thank you everyone for your kind words and friend requests! I know that adding the element of accountability is a very scary and positive part of reaching your goals.

    I am going to set a mini goal so that this 20 lbs doesn't seem so far away. I keep getting down because of the constant scale fluctuations the last few months. I need to get to 185 which is 5-8 pounds away depending on the day =( and reward myself.

    Also made some food decisions today which might just help tip those scales. I struggle with dinner time A LOT. I tend to overeat at this meal. I find it annoying to have to cook for the family and then eat something else or have that internal battle about portions and the 'nomnom' monster. I have come to terms with it this morning and will eat more in the AM and lunch meals so that I can practice more control at dinner time. Also, as far as the frustration about preparing meals that bring on the weakness, I can package them up for lunch the following day and stick to a lighter more controlled evening selection. This is the plan, gotta make it happen.

    Thanks again everyone!

    WTG - what an inspiring post! You mentioned that you're doing "sprint intervals"... can you briefly explain what your routine is?

    Sending you many positive vibes and best wishes! :smile:

    I had read from a lot of posters on MFP that a good way to gain speed and stamina is to run intervals.
    I am able to jog for a couple miles but in order to challenge myself and gain speed, I started jogging 1 minute then sprinting 1 minute (1:1) repeating this for as many intervals as possible. There are many different interval levels depending on what you can do. Jog 2: Sprint 1 etc.

    It is an easy way to watch your progress. Either increase the sprint intervals and jog less OR repeat for more and more intervals and of course sprint FASTER =). Such a challenge!

    Thanks for the response... I'm going to try a modified version of that. I can jog a couple of miles without walking, so I might shorten the distance and break that up into different interval speeds. Thanks again for sharing your success!
