That would be me roughly...5'4" and I fluctuate between 148-156. Pics in profile.

I run intervals...it has increased my speed dramatically. And, there's something about being DRIPPING wet when you're done. :drinker:

Oh, my!

With my ex-husband? Well, let's see...oh, wait, it's over? We've been divorced for four years and he still haunts my daily existence. GOOOOOO AWAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! I forgot to say that I am VERY happily remarried...and the ex still NEVER goes away.

Did you have a baby?

Yep...my pics are proof!

GOOD running shoes? Yes. Love my Brooks. Sounds like it might benefit you to stretch, warm- up, slow your pace and then cool down properly. I also take glucosamine and chondroiton...it's amazing for your joints...and I run up to 5 miles a day, 5-6 times a week.\ Good luck! :flowerforyou:

First pet's name and street I grew up on? Shane Chestnut I have a feeling I wouldn't be getting the Benjamins with that one... :huh:

I'm a runner, too and I take a combo supplement every day...and swear by! Swanson Ultra Joint Care with glucosamine, MSM and chondroiton orderd from the Swanson Vitamins website.

When I started MFP, that number was still really high. I like seeing that, based on my numbers (which is based on my food intake and exercise), I could possibly weigh 132.9 in 5 weeks...whether I actually make it to that or not. At least it doesn't say something higher!!!

^^^^^^^^ HAHAHAHAHA! God, I love Oreos.

Yep. I Genuinely LOVE it...every second of it. I crave it now.

Unfortunately, the darkness, for me, means hitting my treadmill for the season...gotta do what ya gotta do! Good luck! :drinker:

Warm up longer. Slow down during your run. Cool down. Can we assume that you have decent running shoes that fit properly?

Slow down...it's a process, not a race.

Oh my...

Andy needs to go. Kind of hurts to say it, but it's true...

...

Definitely the squats and cardio. In addition to 70+ logged miles of walking/running, I just did a month long squat challenge (3,000 squats total for the month of September) and I lost more than an inch off of my thighs... Start today and don't stop. :drinker:

YOU can do it. Set small goals. Stay positive. Know that every positive thing you do is another step towards your goal. I will support you! Let's do this! :flowerforyou:

Well, considering that I do up to 175 squats a day, based on this theory, I figure I'll basically be non-existent at some point... Sometimes, the BS is just laughable! :drinker:

Work...we were both married (with kids to other people) when we met. That was back in 1995. I was ALWAYS attracted to him and we remained friends through the years. One day in 2008, I sent him an email just to say "hi" and catch up on life and discovered that we were both recently unattached. We decided to meet for lunch…

I'm a Jennifer. One of 8 trillion born in the early '70s. Enough said.

I have an Owen Bradley (15) and Nolan Thomas (10). I LOVE their names...and so do they! **And they are named after the same hockey player...

You already have me...what more do you need? :noway: :drinker: :huh:

My size 6 jeans.

Good luck to all of you! I just did a September Squat Challenge starting on September 1 with 25 and increasing by 5 every day. Today is Day 26 and I just did 150! Feels so good! On the 30th I will be at 170 squats!!!! It feels like such an amazing accomplishment when you get to the end of the month...and my butt and quads…

Today, I'm having a two egg white omelet with spinach, a few sprinkles of shredded low fat cheese and a scoop of salsa...DELISH! :drinker:

I did 115 squats this morning...and I'll be runnnnnnning after work. :drinker:

Push ups. Chair dips. Lots of them...
