Wow, I have run 44 half marathons, 10K's and a few 5K's and never heard of that before??

Marilyn, Hang in there, no it's not easy, but you can do it! I lost 40, and I starting running a little bit at a time. Lost of fruit, apples, peaches, pears help with the hunger. Stay with it, you can do it!!!

Hang in there, we are here to help you through your journey! I lost 50 pounds and gained 20 back and now trying to get back to where I was. We can all do it together:wink:

It will take your body some time to get use to the extra miles. But stay with it, there is nothing better then the first finish of a half marathon. I started 2 years ago only being able to run 3 miles and now have 25 races in. It takes support to encourage you on to success!!!! Your body will tell you how much sleep you…

You can do anything you make your mind up to do! We will be here to support you! You have to make it fun and believe in yourself...We believe in you, I am back on try to lose 15 pounds...Lets support eachother:wink:

I get beat up for eating tuna fish, they say it stinks :laugh:

A little bit of my life for you! :happy:

I have taken more crap from people since my weight loss! I was 183 and went down to 133 and am what I believe is a great 145! Everyday I hear, you look sick, like a scare crow, half the man you were etc. if my food portions are not big enough according to others standards they ask if I am sick? Well I am sick of hearing…

:laugh: I'm not easily offended, and need a daily laugh to help stay motiveated!!!

I have been eating salads and soup for two meals a day. Lots of vege's and rice chex for breakfast. Started eating tuna fish at night a couple of times a week. Lunch and supper ( salad/soup/small piece of white fish) plain ice tea....Oh, 3 boiled eggs no yoke and a green apple for morning snack. Puts me around 800 cal…

Oh Lisa, it does get easier, but it will take some time. After hitting it hard for 4 months, my legs still get sore after running sometimes. But your body will finally give in if you stay with it. Keep your eye on the prize :)

Sounds like a good idea! Was sitting at home satureday night, well kind of. Deployed in Kosovo, no drinking allowed, but did have a 0.0 wheat beer better than nothing! I think Enjoy

Great advise! I am in the same situation, runnig 10-12 miles per day 5-6 days per week. I have ortho's made from a cast as well, fiberglass. A little trouble finding running shoes that they fit into and I didn't have slipping going on in the back. Wanted to leave the cushioned soles in the shoe for shock absorbing. Works…

We have a small group too, you are more than welcome, we are doing this together lol welcome :smile:

To funny, I have done the same thing with the scales, moving them aroung! But you are right, it's what motivates you as an individual to stay on plan to reach your goal. I weigh in when I get up, after my run and after supper at night. It is fairly consistant that increase and lose at the same times each day. I do record…

I couldn't agree more! It's about how you feel about yourself, it has nothing to do with anyone else! I hav elost 44 pounds since March and that's alll I hear, I look like bones with skin on it. Like you I run 55 miles a week, and have been running 5K-10's to this point. Training for a half marathon when I get back to the…

I'm a crazy sald eater since the end of March when I started! Two big salads a day, trying to make it fun :)

I go with the balsamic vinegar mixed with a little olive oil, too but I don't know about the "YUM" part - really I love blue cheese ummmm.

Well Kitty, keep at it! I run 4 days a week at 3:45 am, and force myself to stay in the calorie window. Started a month ago and lost 15 pounds. I really believe if you can stay on the calorie intake, it will work. I wasn't really heavy but went from 178-163 lbs. A little easier I'm in the Army so it helps to have all the…

Hang in there! it's difficult, you have to be strong lol
