ENJOY IT!! I still remember all the feels I had running my first 5k along with my 5 year old daughter who ran the last half mile or so with me....I had tears rolling down my face and never thought in a million years I would even run, yet alone run a whole 3 miles! Congrats and you'll do fabulous!

You can take the girl out of Garland, but you can't take the Garland out of the girl! Can I just say I still live in Mineral Wells? ;)

That's normal for us. Family of 3 with a husband who eats like a horse. But we also prepare all of our meals and it's usually fresh and not boxed stuff. That includes stuff for the house too. I say your "normal".

Great job! Love the dress and you look fabulous!!

I'm a single mom, I work full time (40hrs) and I have the extreme luxury of working out at lunch. I'll stink to high heaven coming back, but I get anywhere from 3 to 4 miles in on the treadmill and I've lost almost 30 pounds since January. I also do Jillian Michael's 30 Day shred at night after she goes to bed. Some days I…

Because I got high, because I got high....because I got high. I'm sleeping on the front law because i got high.... Was jamming to this on Pandora just this morning :)

Back county roads in a small town in Texas.... * Dogs will chase you and chase you and chase you. The big dogs are nice....the little ones like to act like the big dogs. * The owner's of the little dogs laugh from the trailer's and know if you try to kick that little dog they will get their shotgun. * The smell of…

^^ This. I was having a pity party of one today. Not anymore. You guys are amazing. Thank you for sharing all of your stories.

Woah!! Good job! There's my motivation to get back on the 30DS kick again.....plus, I want faster running times :)

As a fellow Texan, American and daughter of a retired Dallas Police Officer, I am moved to tears. Reminds us that life is too short. Go hug your parents and tell 'em you love them. God bless America.

Good yummies without calories....wait, ya, um...nevermind.

Cruel and unusual punishment. Oi vey. <smh as I walk away>

Ya'll look fantastic! Keep up the hard work....I love it when couples team up and lose weight together. So sweet.

Exactly! We don't count off for that here in Texas :)

Seriously? Strength training is the truth for us?????

I have really crappy before and after's on my phone....but i'm 26 pounds down. I'm trying to upload now.It will happen slowllllllllllly.

Yes. You can. I was 60 pounds overweight. A smoker. A drinker. I quit smoking. Stopped drinking. Started walking. For some straaange reason, I started running. Just a few minutes each day, than I just kept pushing myself further and further. I'm one of those that quit because it's too hard or I just get bored. 6 months…

I feel more love on here from total strangers than people who "say" they are my friend on FB. I'm addicted to MFP. Truly are my "pals" :)

You're more than welcome to add me as well! I've run three 5k's and a 10K just last month......so addicting!!

I will never look at my pancakes the same.....

Naproxen too. I agree with the above posts....ice, rest.....that whole thing. But naxpron works GREAT!!

MultiVitamin Vitamin C - I never get enough Fish Oil - good for the skin B-12 - energy Calcium - I can't have dairy

I did it twice. The first time I only did what I could, took a water break if needed and tried to finish it....even if it killed me. The second time around, it still killed me, but at least I felt more accomplished and I still can't do a "regular" pushup. I do the modified. If I feel like a rockstar, I would do the other…

Congratulations!!!! You look FABULOUS!!

Way to go! Truly a great moment when you can see the hard work pay off! Enjoy :)
