From one runner to another... WOW! :)

That is awesome! I can completely understand your second point because that was literally my relationship with stairs/hills when I began my weightloss journey about 7 years ago. Congrats! :)

I surpassed my yearly running mileage goal by a hundred miles, for a grand total of 700 miles! I attribute this to the fact that I had a UAE procedure to treat multiple fibroids and I’m no longer borderline anemic from them for the first time in years! I feel like my endurance has improved immensely. Also it’s now been…

That’s so awesome! I actually currently have a pet iggy! He’s grown to 6 feet long, I’ve had him for 15 years :) <3

I’ve had mostly good luck with online dating in the past. I just don’t get out amongst that many people in my everyday life to simply wait around for someone, I also suffer from social anxiety so meeting someone at the bar scene or a party are probably not going to happen for me since I prefer to avoid those situations.…

Wow! Fantastic transformation!

Then it must be true what they say... “it’s the thought that counts!” ;)

Whenever he says something like that just smile and nod, keep working hard to reach your goals and have fun proving him wrong!!! B)

That is indeed a great thread! <3 I weigh myself about once a week but usually just go by the fit of my clothes, when things start to get tighter or not fit right I know I gotta reel myself in and eat less/move more. I don’t really log anymore unless I’m specifically trying to lose a set amount. For example I kinda got…

Notice when it gives you the prediction it says “If every day were like today”... that just doesn’t jive with reality because literally no two days will be exactly the same, much less entire weeks where you have the exact same intake and output of energy. It’s a really, really ROUGH estimate. The only way to get accurate…

Same trail, different seasons: Northern California in the summer Northern California in the winter

Thanks guys! <3 You inspire me just as much! :) :) Enjoy your workout!

Thanks! I run barefoot because to me it just feels natural and fun, I love being out on the trails and enjoy sharing my pictures. I think in a way the pix also serve as a reminder for myself when I’m not feeling my best or having a moment of self-doubt I can look back, remember that day and have proof that I actually did…

Thanks! You are right, maintenance is not easy but well worth the effort! <3 :)

Congrats! That’s fantastic! I hiked when I was losing weight as well and now I can run up and down those same trails! It’s so nice being out in nature, keep up the good work! :)

I’m middle aged and I go running (trail and pavement) first thing in the morning fasted all the time, at least 3-4 times per week (for the past 5+ years) although the reason I do this is because I find it uncomfortable to have anything sloshing around in my stomach when I exercise. I will usually not eat anything until…

This was many years ago when my kid was little but I carved this pumpkin one Halloween...

That is so cool!!!

Halloween 2018:

Runs With Bees is my “trail name” my son gave it to me after I ran down a very narrow trail lined with wildflowers and unavoidably disturbed the bees feeding on them as I brushed the plants when I ran past and they flew up all around me but I stayed calm and kept my running pace and made it through without getting stung…

Lol :D :D :D wow do I really post 4 maintenance anniversary/bday posts per year? :D :D :D Well so goes maintenance... it’s not as “exciting” as losing weight I suppose so it can seem quite monotonous “great job staying exactly the same!” just doesn’t have as much enthusiasm I guess ;) It’s a very small percentage of people…

Thanks! :) <3

I was a leopard for Halloween 2016:
