BTW MY SPECIAL shout out was amazing. Thanks for the smile! Wish you lived closer heading out with my girlfriends for some drinks to celebrate my year on MFP and my birthday. You are such an important part of that....will toast to you tonight! :) ONE DAY WE WILL MEET! XOXO

YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!!! HOLY MOLY! Good for you girl! YOU inspire me! WTG!

Thanks everyone :) I started lifting 6 pound weights on saturday for 20 minutes a day doing varying arm exercises. The one thing I have learned is that there is no short cuts;... and the best thing to do is take it one day at a time.

Thanks everyone! I haven't touched my WII since about October...but I loved Wii Fit Plus, BIggest LOSER and the coach wii fit. I will be taking my wii out again soon, since I am having knee surgery and can't run for about 2 months :(

I believe it is how you feel, some people relate how they look to their happiness. Personally, being smaller makes me feel happier in certain aspects in my life. For example, I am happier that I am not late to work anymore because I don't have to try on 23948203489 outfits to find one that doesn't make me feel like I look…

I agree with the above poster. I myself on mess up days, chose to not log...SO GOOD FOR YOU! You are not a failure. A failure would have deleted their account. TOmorrow is a new day. Drink some water, go for a walk if you can... I wish I had the courage you do to fess up when you mess up!

I was hoping my washing machine was going to raptured this morning...no such luck!

JUST set up some PT post surgery I will run again, better than before!

THANKS for your insight. That is what i needed, from someone who has "Done it" I am scheduling PT the following MONDAY! As soon as I am allowed to! THe relay is not as important to me as the half! I cannot wait to RUN DISNEY! Thanks again!

You guys I am cracking up! THANKS!

Adam, I feel ya! It is my anniversary and 10 days before my bday! WTH?

I am Christian too... Not good...THINK if I make a sign "WELCOME BACK SON OF GOD" in glitter, that would help?

How tall are you? What size clothes are you wearing? I am still 145 pounds, and I am only 5'4. However, i am wearing mostly 6 and some 4's. I know I need to lose some belly and tone up my arms, but I am currently not that upset with the number on the scale. I have very tone legs and I know I can attribute that to running.…

Thanks guys! Isn't this site amazing? I feel like a corn ball but it has changed my life. Oh and the Garmin Quote HYSTERICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just an FYI guys, I did the ICE bath...it HURT! But now they feel better. I also bought my sneakers tonight. GOing to take them on a short jog tomorrow after work! :)

Thanks guys. I knew my sneakers were a little old, but I didn't want to get new ones two weeks before the 1/2... I am going to Charm City Run tonight, they are having a Brooks Ladies Night! WOOT!

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE! I truly would not have accomplished any of this without MFP! Next up, Disney Half MARATHON!

GOOD Luck to you! I just finished my first half marathon. I had an app on my IPHONE that helped me train. I ran 6 days a week except for the week before my race (where I only ran 1...I also had a knee injury!) GOOD LUCK!

THANK You so much everyone! That is why I LOVE THIS SITE! Everyone is so supportive and gives me the reality checks when I need them! I am proud of myself. I keep crying when I think about it. What an amazing adventure! I CANNOT wait to do it again.

Thanks everyone for your tips and support! I am going to talk a slow jog today after school. I think one problem is I didn't buy new brooks and my shoes probably have over 200 miles on them! GOING tomorrow night to buy new ones. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!

I might be in a similar boat for my knee in a few weeks. I am going to try to watch my food intake and increase my water. I am also going to do as much as I can with what I can! GOOD LUCK!

Meg: 10 minute mile run is FAST for me! LOL! I am a slow poke! I ran a 12;57 minute mile run on Sunday. THanks for the tips though, going to fill up the bathtub right now! :) Oh and I am going to do a slow jog tomorrow. THANKS AGAIN!

THANKS! and good luck during your run!

I have been at the SAME weight (give or take 3 pounds, 5 during TOM) since October. YES OCtOBER! I have lost inches over that time and actually I have learned to IGNORE the scale. I have days when I screw up, that I don't even record..but this is a LIFE STYLE change, not a diet, not a fad. I know tha tI will not eat well…

Thanks for your honest opinion. The pain isn't unbearable. I don't focus on it 24/7/ I did the ellpitical on Saturday and it was pain-free. Then yesterday I felt it. I can move, squat and bend. I know that I will be in pain afterwards, but to me it is worth it to do it. Does that make me a crazy person?

I am doing this...it is not about the entry fee, every penny goes to breast cancer research and I have raised over $1,000. I have used the foam roller...It does seem to help. I appreciate your concern for my knee, but I am doing this...I have worked too hard and I can't give up. :(

I'll be running the Baltimore half as well in october! :) Good luck and we can do this!!!!!!!

:) I LOVE MFP! THANKS GUYS!

You guys have given me a lot of hope. And as hard as it is going to be to take this week off, I am going to do it, knowing that it will help me on the 15th reach my goal!

THANKS! USED It and found someone who is about 2 miles from me. Just left her a message! THANKS AGAIN!
