Since the begining of this year when I started consistantly running I have been consistantly losing 1 pound per week. Now I also do a ton of other forms of exercise than just running, and I watch my calories to a T, but all I can say is no, I have not had a weight gain due to running.

OH, and NOW, when I look at old pics of me, or step into a pair of jeans that use to fit me ( and now I fit in ONE LEG ), the first thought that comes to mind is " Why didnt anyone tell me I was so big" ?? I know why, they didnt want to hurt my feelings, but I so wish someone told me I was doing incredible damage to my…

YES! all the time! I Want to tell them they dont have to be overweight and unhealthy, that they can do it too! I want EVERYONE to feel as wonderful as I Do. AND, I want them to know that it is possible, even when you weigh over 300 pounds, its possible to get healthy!! I do want to tell them, But like you, I think it would…

yeah!! Great job! you are totally changing your shape ! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Well I for one could care less what my time looks like, its a personal thing for me, and as long as I run every step, I will have won the race as far as I am concerned :flowerforyou:

My goal time will be around 2 hours 35 mins . Who knows though, I will know closer to OCT. but I am slow my 10k time was slower than yours

Thank you Robin :)

I completely agree.. I have seen people in the gym for the last 18 months that have lost nothing, but are there all the time. When they ask me what I am doing ,the first thing I ask them is what are THEY eating?? then its like a light goes off... "ohhhh, I am not doing good with that" ...... you HAVE To eat the right…

Thank you very much :) I do truly want others to know that its not hopeless, that you can do it if you really want to. you need to want it for you, not for your spouse, but for you. that is the only way you will be able to do it completely :)

That could be, but its from a FAARRR distance, :) I am not completely sold on his support. Thank you for watching :)

My friend and I just committed today to do the one in Victoria BC on 10-10-10. We already have a base of 7 miles ( that is what we are up to) so the training should go fairly well! I have 13.5 pounds left to go to reach my goal, I hope and pray I reach my weight loss goal by then as well. :) Good luck to you!!:drinker:

mine are beyond hope. You cant lose the weight I have lost and have them be even "OK" they look fine in a bra, then without one, they are pointing towards the floor :grumble: But on a side note, I do have fabulous chest muscles that you can see cause the boobs are so low ! lol Enjoy them!!:flowerforyou:

That is fabulous! Awesome job!

HA just talking about this tonight to my spin instructor. Mine are muscular measure 15.5 I am 5'4 159 pounds. (no cankles), dont think they will shrink too much, no skinny jeans in my future!

I drink one gallon of water a day, I make it my goal to drink all that, and in doing that, I find that I dont drink other crap, like Diet Soda, Cause it will interfere with my water intake LOL. ITs true though! I work out alot in a night, so I go thru about 33 ounces in my workout alone, the other 66 ounces I try to drink…

I eat anywhere from 120 - 160 a day.

CONGRATULATIONS! that is awesome, what a great job!!! You should be yelling from the rooftops!!

To be able to say for the first time in my life " I have no more weight to lose, I am at my very healthy goal weight"

I love your answers!! I knew it would be a good read too! I have to say that in the last 18 months that I have been losing all my weight, I also I have been building lots of muscle. it does take a long time, but the muscle that I have amazes me. as the last of the fat melts away, my hard efforts in the last 18 months are…

welcome to mfp!! You will love it here, it works if you follow the plan :O Best of luck!

Lynds, I am so GLAD you posted these!!! I know how it feels to not want to post the starting pic, But its such a good thing to do! Awesome job Lady!! Your looking great!:bigsmile: Hugs!!

I understand how you feel, I do, I was that very overweight person not too long ago , and I have lost my weight following MFP, counting my calories and sweating my butt off . BUT, I have to say, I dont agree with you at all here on this one. I learned thru a dear friend that her wanting to lose her last 10 pounds means…

Angie, isn't it an extreme pain to delete people????

WHOOO HOOOO!!! awesome!!!:drinker:

Thank you Becca :flowerforyou:

I never said it doesn't work, I said it seems unhealthy.

This just seems totally unhealthy , I am sorry, I am not usually a negative person around here, but this one is too much .

Awesome job!! way to go girl!!:flowerforyou:

Ok well. I dont think walking is enough , not when looking at the big picture. You really need to add some strength training in there too. Walking is a great form of exercise, but it shouldnt be your only form of exercise. You need to build muscle, and the more that you have, the more calories you burn :) good luck to you!…

The only calories I ever count are the ones burned while working out. anything else is normal stuff.
