I would go for 3 hours. I can do four miles in an hour at the moment.

My first half is next weekend. I am both excited and a little scared. My goal for the first one is just to finish in a decent timeframe.

I have too many favorites, but my top would be Phantom of the Opera, Cats, Wicked, and Les Mis

Wow!!!!

attempted to run 10 miles

That I'm 200 pounds and running 4 to 5 miles 4 to 5 times a week.

New as of Saturday afternoon. This was my reward for breaking 200 Why can't I get the photo to work??

I am a little over halfway. I started this journey with 122 pounds to lose at my highest of 272. I am now within 30 pounds of my goal and feeling so strong. I am running which I never thought I would be able to do. it's an amazing feeling

I completely agree! I have been running and just added weight training. My current weight (as of this morning) was back over 200 but I'm wearing a 14/16. You definitely need to add some resistance training of some sort to your routine.

Congratulations!! That must feel amazing! I am patiently waiting for that day.

Wow, does this strike a chord for me. I am in this situation but not only does he not care to take care of himself healthwise there are other issues. I am working hard to deal with my issues and take care of myself while he does not seem to care. I have asked for divorce and we are in counseling but he just doesn't get…

This is actually a fantastic idea. I have a Galaxy Stratosphere and they do not fit in the arm bands (any of them) so I may have to try this!

Welcome back, darlin!!

Fantastic!!

I am set to run a half in September and want to do another half in October. Anxious to see how well I do

I don't think it matters if she is active or not. There are plenty of us here that are looking for support whether she wants it or not.

I am a Transcriptionist working out of my home

Absolutely not. I have a friend that chose to have the surgery and she and I got to talking a couple weeks ago. Even after the surgery she still has the same struggles I do to eat right and to exercise and to not gain it all back. It is a different journey for everyone and each person has to decided what is best for them

I work from home and am constantly battling the schedule to fit everything in because even though I work I am still expected to keep up with everything around here. It is very difficult. But I have found that if I schedule my workout in like an appointment then I am in a better mood and happier than if I had skipped it all…

Wichita, KS

I love it. I use it in the mornings in my oatmeal and then at lunch I have a shake and then a sensible dinner with two healthy snacks.

I personally think that if she were to get in my face and call me on my bs it would be so beneficial for me. Have never had someone be that blunt and hones and forceful with me and it landed me at almost 300 pounds 6 years ago. I have been fighting for 6 years to get me back and with no one like her in my life it has taken…

I am planning on doing the one in my area in July as well. Looking forward to the challenge

I love the shakes. Not sure how you are making them. I have several links that I utilize and the shakes taste amazing!! https://apps.facebook.com/visalusrecipes/ http://www.livingsmartgirl.com/2011/08/100-body-by-vi-shake-recipes/…

Mostly running on my treadmill at the moment. When I do get outside the app I have is sketchy. Will have to try MapMyRun.

I cook it as directed in the microwave, add two scoops of Body By Vi shake mix, one tbsp of cocoa powder, and dash of cinnamon. Tastes awesome!

Wanted to sing on Broadway or be a teacher. Teaching didn't work for me because i lost patience for kids. Never made it to Broadway but that is still there deep down

I am getting a tat done of a cross that my son drew for me. It was supposed to be my reward for breaking 200 but finances have pushed it back a bit. I should mention this will be my first tat

You have come a long way! You should be proud! I started this in 2007 at 272 and as of this morning I am at 192.9. Your loss is a major accomplishment and an inspiration to us all! One day, one step at a time!
