Mike- your 13th run!! Congrats. :) And thanks for the encouragement! Abby- hm. My advice.. Don't pick your first half marathon to be in the spring if you can't train that well in the winter. I live in Ohio and really struggled with my training this winter. It was really really cold here. It snowed a LOT. I got out when I…

Mike.. I am looking at another half this November!!! :) If you would have asked me Sunday I would have said NO WAY! lol. But.. I'm feeling better today and ready to do another half!

Thanks! :)

Thank you everyone!! :) And thanks Josh for fixing my pics. :) Kimbie- it is a small world!! Great expo! Great race!

Jess- I haven't taken a live combat class. Just the DVDs. Miss Anjy- I haven't tried pump but definitely want to look into that!! Rose- yes! I'm excited for piyo too. I'll be finished with my combat/chalean hybrid just about the time it comes out!!

I just started.. so no success story yet. But I LOVE it!! So much fun. I did a 45 minute workout tonight and it went so fast!

I just finished T25 last week. I lost 10 inches. I'm proud of that. :) It's not my favorite workout but it works and it's only 25 minutes.

I just realized I posted this under the wrong board. Oops!

I'd love to help encourage/motivate you! :) I've lost about 60lbs and still losing. Clean eating and working out will take you far! I'll add you as a friend.

I haven't read all the response.. but wanted to tell you my experience. I used to drink 1 diet coke a day. Due to the aspartame, I switched to regular coke. I lost 5lbs. I have since stopped drinking pop and lost more.

I did the 5k! I'm planning on the 15k next time!! This race was AWESOME!! :)

Thanks. I hate wearing socks and haven't wore them in so long. I feel like I need to though with my new shoes. I'm going to try hard to return them and get Merrell again. If not, i'll try the tape. Thanks!

I'm not totally vegan but have been slowly dropping out meat and dairy from my diet. Feel free to add me! :)

As long as you finish.. that's all that matters. :)

I'm running in the Hot Chocolate Columbus 5k in a few weeks! :)

Looks like fitted pants are the way to go. eek. Hopefully I find something that doesn't look too bad!

Looks like I'm going to need to try some fitted pants. I like the idea of no muffin top. ;-)

Thanks! I have never tried the fitted pants before... I'm a little unsure how they will look! But I'll try some on and see what happens.

I love merrell barefoot running shoes. :) Before I starting barefoot running, I wore reebok real flex and really liked those.

Final bump... no one?

You totally got this!! Have you heard of couch to 5k? It may be something to help you reach your goals! The color run is a blast. Sign up for the next one you can. A lot of people walk it! Even if you walk the entire thing... it's better than doing nothing. It will help give you motivation to keep going!

I'm on day 2 of this challenge. :)

I lost about 25 pounds with this program. I had a lot to lose though. I LOVED it. :) Good luck!!

I'm on day 2! Feel free to add me!! Good luck! :)

I am on day 10 and I've lost just under 5 pounds. I only drink one shake a day. I mainly drink it because I have a sweet tooth. I always grab for dessert after a meal, and that wasn't helping me lose weight. So I started this shake to help with that and it's working. :) Good luck to you!

I participated in the color run this month!! It was a blast!! :)

Hi! I'm new to the group... and also from the Toledo area!
