Bump

You're my hero. Saving this so I can look at it when I am worrying about loose skin as I continue to get to a healthy weight. Thanks for posting!!

bumping for later when my scale says I'm up....

^ This!!! There are lots of things for me like: how I think people see me (huge) clothes shopping having my picture taken I could go on...

I'm in!!!

Bumping for me to read later. I needed this today....

I could have been the OP who wrote this. I have been feeling like this a lot lately. Some of the replies are exactly what I needed to hear. Thanks...

Bump for later. I could have written this post myself.

Hey everyone! Thanks for the invite!! I am Maggie and I'm 46. I started running last year and completed C25K. I walked my first ever 5K and LOVED it. Then I got sidelined with a nasty heel spur and had to give up exercise altogether in November. Finally got my heel spur under control and I am back to walking and running! I…

5/1 - 1 mile 5/2 - 4 miles

I'm in for 50 miles. I just need to add the ticker.

Easy one. Even though I live 3000 miles away now, I will ALWAYS be a Jersey girl. And my first name is Maggie.

Ok so having just dealt with this for the last year (June 2013 - March 2014), I can tell you that I understand how painful it all is. It was so bad for me, I had to give up exercising altogether in November. Finally in March I started to see relief. Here are the few things that FINALLY worked for me: I bought this at…

You're ALL awesome. Thanks for the inspiring posts.... Right there with ya... Can't wait to get back under 200. Hoping to be well under that by my birthday in August.

Saw you on another thread. Just wanted to say.... You. Are. Awesome.

Just found this! You guys are awesome. Very inspiring!!! Hope you do it in May and maybe I will join in!!

Two things. Ok maybe three. I would have walked home from school all 4 years in high school instead of taking the bus home. It was 3 miles to walk home. That walk 5 days a week would have made me a much healthier person. I would have finished college when I started. I agree with others, it's not too late but life is hectic…

Very interesting!

Bump for later reading.

Amazing and SO INSPIRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All time favorite Seinfeld episode. Kramer gives up ALL underwear... Jerry to Elaine: " Don't you see what's going here? No boxers, no jockeys..." Elaine: "Ewww..." Jerry: "The only thing between him and us is a thin layer of gaberdine." Kramer : "I'm out there Jerry and loving every minute of it!!"

As a Jersey girl now living in Northern California, I can tell you that this story has been big around here as Maria Kang (the mom in question) is from Sacramento. She's a tough girl and I think she is fantastic. I think the reaction to the picture was overblown and ridiculous. Maria's intention was not to shame anyone but…

Worth another bump....:love:

I GRADUATED TODAY!!!!! Started the program 8/4 and finished today!!! Was able to get through it despite having bronchitis for almost 1 month!!! So excited to continue running. My next goal is to improve my speed. I walked a 5K in July of this year. I want to redo that same 5K next year but plan to run it all the way!!!!

*sigh* It's hump day.... Thanks for making me smile! Love that commercial.

There is a crossfit place close to my house. They do it in the parking lot all the time. It's really amazing to watch, even the women do it. I am ALWAYS in awe of them...

Wow!!! Fantastic!! You should be very proud of yourself!!!
