Thank you for reading! I wish you all the best in finding your "new" identity once the weight is shed. Feel free to send a message my way any time. :)

For me personally, I define it as always needing to have the right answer, always needing to know I'm doing the "right" thing before I jump in. Procrastinating because of indecision. If I make a wrong choice I'm a horrible person. If I make a mistake I'm a horrible person. If I don't reach my goal I'm a horrible no good…

On January 1, I signed up for my first full marathon. November 9, 2014, is the big day. Very best wishes on your marathon and feel free to send me a friend request! :)

I've pretty much stopped competing and comparing myself with others..... comparing ourselves to others is often unhealthy for us.

Here's an article I wrote about sugar withdrawal: http://hub.me/aeCOt

Remember to focus on what you've achieved, what you're doing right now, and *not* how far you still have to go. I'm still learning this lesson, even after having lost 60lbs, and being the smallest I've ever been as an adult. I still see the imperfections, the extra 20 or so pounds that I still have to go. My mind wants to…

I got 3 miles in this evening. Up to 27 out of 60. Not quite halfway there, and it's already the 21st. BUT, I will make it. Just about a 5K a day will get me there.

I'm up to 24 out of 60 miles for the month. I have to run approximately a 5K a day until the end of the month to reach my goal. That's doable!

I have 15 out of 60 complete. I'm a bit behind due to a week of nasty cold/sinus crap (plus a teething baby with an ear infection). Aiming to bump up the mileage in the next few days to "catch up"!

I have two boys. An 8 year old and an 11 month old. :)

I'm in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Working on losing these last 25lbs. :)

I posted here earlier but I wanted to share my progress photo collage with you all. Again, I'm 33, with 2 boys (8yrs and 11 months). Busy busy schedule, but determined to make time for my health. Feel free to send me a friend request (and please include a little note if you do). Thank you!

I'm 33. Just had a baby in ... whoa, next month will be a year. February. I've lost the baby weight and am working on whittling away about 25 more pounds. I also have an 8 year old. Both boys. I have a crazy busy schedule, but I make time for exercise and eating right. Feel free to shoot me a friend request, any of you.…

Thank you! Our stories are very similar indeed! Very best wishes on your pregnancy, and continued fitness journey. Thanks for the friend request! :)

Two more miles on the treadmill this evening. Twelve total.

Thanks!

Thank you!! Best wishes on your goal!

Bump. Good morning!

Thanks!!

Thank you!

2.5 miles walked yesterday; 1 mile ran on the treadmill today. 10 miles out of 60 complete!

5 miles on the treadmill today. 6.5 miles total.

Swethington00 -- 25?

1.5 of 60 completed today.

Pumpkin flax granola with unsweetened almond milk, coffee with creamer only and my usual supplements and water. I lost 4 pounds between December 12 and today, so I mean to carry on the hard work into 2013.

This is my first MYAC. I shall set a goal of 60 miles for January 2013. Let's bring in the New Year RIGHT! :)

Hello Mary, I'm Chandra. I'm also from Indiana and would love to connect on here if you'd like. Best wishes on your fitness journey!

Amazing progress!! Congratulations, you look great!!
