Yep! ME!!! I was 39 in September! Trying to make this a great year!

Bear Creek is really close to my house so is more convenient than Katy for me. I walk Katy every once in a while, but Bear Creek is super convenient...hilly...but convenient. :)

ewww...that is awful...I will try again...

Trying to post my trail pic....

Fellow Mizzou person here! My pics of Bear Creek trail won't load though...

Yep! I have tried to run several times, but I have an old ankle injury that swells up and then I can't even walk....so the doctor said "no running". That is ok. I actually like walking better, I think. Love nature trails. :) I use Map My Walk and have a FitBit. If you are a Walking Dead (zombies) person, there is a REALLY…

I have struggled with migraines for 22 years....ugh. Just over the past YEAR, I have figured out my triggers: barometric pressure change (I am more accurate than the weather man) and allergies. Sometimes, when I start to get a headache/migraine, I take Benadryl (which unfortunately knocks me out) but then my headache is…

I am in! 40 in September of 2015, so hopefully the amount of time will be on my side!!!

I am 5'2" and currently 180. I initially wanted to get down to 125, but now will be thrilled to hit 160. That is my "first" goal... unfortunately, my weight keeps going up... ugh. I have some work to do and a lifetime of being "overweight" to overcome. :)

Sent you a friend request. I absolutely hear you! Working mom, wife, and doctoral student. Never enough time in the day!

@lisatrish is awesome! She is one of my friends too. Very supportive! I will send you a friend request!

Just signed up today. I am intrigued. I am reading all of the literature today (there is a lot of it) and then heading to the store tomorrow and doing food prep for my first week. We shall see!

Everyone has their own journey to health and fitness. That should be the end of the discussion, but some people just don't know when to stop talking. Ignore the haters and do what works for you. In the end, doing what works for you will make you prouder of your end results. ...a lesson I am still learning. Good luck!

Thank you everyone!

Always looking for others to keep me motivated! I will try to send others requests, or please send me one. :)

Totally understand your thoughts. But, whenever I see someone running through my neighborhood, especially if they are struggling a bit, I think "you go!". I actually find it very motivating to see people trying to better themselves. It encourages me to get off of my hind end and move too. :) Just go for it! (and I will too)

Sent you a friend request! I need accountability too. :)

Hi! I have sent you a friend request. I struggle with similar issues (specifically, terrible anxiety) and it affects my weight greatly. I am determined to make changes! We can do this!

I want to know as well! I really don't want to buy DVDs, but am intrigued by the T25 program. The download Daily Burn would work better for me though. I hope someone responds!

I think we are already friends (from my earlier post), but I hear you!!! My kids are a little older than yours, but my story is the same. We can do this!

Thank you so much! I lose patience when trying to get to my "after" picture. I have lost and re-gained the same five pounds for the last year or so, but need to lose about 50. Thanks for your inspiring post and pics!

I have a whole BOX of pants patiently waiting for me to lose weight. That is my first goal...moving from a size 14 to 12. Need all the motivation and accountability I can get!

5'2" and tired of always being the "bigger sister" of the three girls. I have gained and lost (multiple times) the same FIVE pounds. Extremely frustrating. Wanting to lose 45 pounds! Add me! I need all the support and encouragement I can get!

I am in Columbia, but don't know that I could work in another meeting in my life. However, feel free to add my on myfitnesspal...maybe we can cheer each other on that way! Good luck!
