Under eating can lead to a rant however - news at 11.

Two, quarter (almost half sleeve) on one arm, and large on other shoulder.

Almost always wear my bluetooth headset. Now, when I ran the Mackinac Bridge, they are not permitted for safety reasons though I see people wearing them and no one stopping them. I can understand that one since the traffic is still crossing the bridge in the other lanes. I would suggest that you keep them at a level you…

I was 292. Feel free to add me.

I think it has to do with self image. It's hard to see someone change significantly and not start to wonder if you should do something or if it changes how you deal with that person. Interesting enough, I've also heard "you haven't stopped drinking have you?" and "you're not planning to lose anymore" from the same person.…

Ask yourself this. Honestly, aren't we here for support? Didn't each one of us come to the point we needed help beyond ourselves to make progress? Didn't we all make excuses of some sort (and probably still do)?

Mine is all attributed to rainbows and gummy bears...

Welcome back!

Ok, that was this weekend, what are your goals for today?

Awesome job!

Great job!

One thing that worked for me was to pick a race that I had to be ready for. When I started this journey walking at 3mph on the treadmill was a workout. Just keep at it, it becomes much more relaxing as you go and stops becoming that rough part of your day.

At the end of the day, you either want it or you don't. I'm in a similar situation and the opportunities to endulge are there everyday. It does make it tougher but I can't put barriers up to the rest of the world (the office, friends, social gatherings, etc.), I have to keep myself on track. I wish I had some magic for…

Headphones... keep at it, you inspire me.

As an ex-smoker, why flirt with these issues? I'm not a rabid anti-smoker, but I can't help but asking why you smoke when you drink?

What did you think of the water obstacles?

How did you do? Was a great day.

I have the Mackinac Bridge Fall Colors 6k and the Zombie Dash 5k coming up in October.

Give it a shot, it's a great outing.

Going!

Doing the Warrior Dash Saturday and Bridge Run Sunday... big weekend for running.

As I train almost exclusively indoors on a treadmill, that's nonsense. Yes it is different, but trust me, if you're putting the effort into it, you sweat like you do outside and it does transfer to times when I race. The only thing I'd watch for is whether yours is flat or in a decline meaning you're running downhill not…

I've quit more than once in my life, but the latest has been for over 9 years. It was awful, but it may have been that's what it took to make me never want to go through it again. I used the patch and still had terrible headaches. Worse, I put on almost 100 lbs over the next 8 years after quitting and have finally…

Awesome!
