Good Morning!!! I actually got my lazy behind out of bed this morning and made it to the gym where I perceeded to run for 30 minutes! I didn't go but 2.25 mile because I have to keep my pace really slow so that my heart rate doesn't go to high, but it still felt really good. It definitely looks like its going to take me at…

Hey ladies! I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend! The hubby and I went on a nice walk prior to thanksgiving to get in a little bit of exercise before eating. We also both did really good on only eating a couple of bits of each thing and not going over board. For me its easier since I don't have that much room…

Eleanoreb- a run around only 4 miles… ahh yes the true sign of a runner :) that’s fantastic! I definitely suggest investing in some quality cold weather attire since its worth every penny to keep you running longer and better. I love whole wheat couscous and all your other recipes are sounding amazing! Keep up the good…

Hey Ladies!! I was super busy yesterday with work and over the weekend I just wanted to relax and enjoy the two days of beautiful weather while I had the chance. My bestie and I went and walked around a place called Eastern Market in the Capitol area of DC. Its an indoor/outdoor food and art/craft/antique market that is…

Cynthia- I know the mental struggle is harder than the physical one sometimes, but it sounds like you have got yourself on the right track and you are working on figuring out ways to make everything work out. I think that it is super hard to get to the self acceptance stage in the middle of all this, but you will get…

Hey ladies! Sorry I have been MIA but my in-laws have been in town since Wednesday and I have been caught up in family time and haven't had the chance to get on the thread. I ran a turkey trot 5k on Sunday and it was super hilly causing my heart rate to go sky high on the up hills, and thus I had to walk up the hills for…

What an amazing story! You should be very proud of your hardwork and the success you have had by facing fears and BELIEVING in yourself! Keep it up!

I'm back!! Not that I went any where from this thread, but back in the sense of running back! I decided that with the extra we were blessed with this weekend that is no reason that my lazy butt should not get out of bed and go for a run this morning. I took it really slow, but I did 3.5 miles!! Yippee!! I am just thankful…

Emily- I totally understand what being sick takes out of you. Don’t stress about your run and I’m sure you will do great. Even if all you do is get out there and finish it, walking or running, is a great accomplishment Emdavid- 10 mins nonstop of running is amazing! Have you been adding in intervals of running and walking…

Bethany- So glad to have you back with us!! How did the lunch out work? I know how hard it can be sometimes when other people pick the place and you have very limited options to make good choices. I also hate working out at home, but maybe if you keep it mixed up enough in your workouts you can stay motivated. Abby- Holy…

It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there, only that you arrived.

Thanks ladies! We are really excited!! And the goodnews it is motivating him to get in shape and healthy! He started with me in the beginning, dropped like 30 lbs really fast, like guys do, and then stopped trying. He is using this as motivation which I think is great! Loving everyone's goals so far!

Woohoo! A new month and a fresh start! Well October was kind of a bust, but I know why. The hubby and I are expecting our first child!! We are both very excited about this, but this adds in a whole new dimension to the exercising and eating right aspect. My doctor wants me to gain at most 15 lbs and she would be perfectly…

Hey ladies- sorry I haven't been a good thread participator this month. I typically like to post everyday, but this month has been a crazy one! Between being super busy at work, getting sick, and just feeling super tired it has made all motivation this month a tough one. I was still glad to see what you ladies were up to…

Yeah right. If I think of another kind I'll let you know.

Amy- Size 12!!!! AMAZING! You should be so pumped! And like Meag said, it doesn’t matter how the size 12 fit all that matters is that you own something that has a 12 on the tag :) You should be so very proud of yourself! And it sounds like you are making all the right decisions when it comes to enjoying the wedding…

Hey Ladies! I have been gone from the thread for entirely too long and I need to get back no track with keeping in touch with you ladies. I went back to my undergraduate homecoming this weekend and saw a lot of my friends who had nothing but nice things to say about my weight loss which was nice. I am now back and trying…

I'm still here ladies, just super busy and haven't had time to respond. Keep up the great work!

Cynthia- Sounds like you have been getting in a bunch of different activities for workouts which I think is great because it helps keep exercising fun. Your turkey trot 10k sounds fun! My in-laws are coming in the weekend or two before thanksgiving and I think we are going to do a turkey trot but its only a 5k. I…

Hey Ladies, Sorry I have been MIA the past few days. I have just been feeling blah overall and not being able to really workout because I have been so exhausted. I had yesterday off from work and I spent it lounging around and resting in hopes of feeling better. I skipped spin this morning because I think it would have…

Good Morning Ladies, Lalonmeg- Sometimes tackling one thing at a time is what works best. You seem to really have your diet on point lately so making sure you stay focused on that and not stretching yourself to thin by forcing a workout. Keep up the great work! Cynthia- I totally have not feeling it run days, so don't…

Glad to see so many faces back and at it in the thread! I am super busy at work this week so I will keep this short and sweet. I am loving the goals from everyone and I think ROCKTOBER is the best name ever! This morning I had spin and it was a killer class. A class that normally takes us about 45+ minutes to complete took…

Kayla- I was in Alpha Delta Pi and I would be happy to join a team of some sort although my concentration right now is on becoming a better runner and not shedding the pounds. Or feel free to friend me for some encouragement!

Meag- I am so glad to see you back to posting deliciousness that you try out first :tongue: Because it always sounds so good! Looks like you had a nice to yourself Sunday!

Good Morning Everyone! Bootcamp this morning and we did a solid 45 minutes of 50 seconds on 10 seconds off of all sort of different exercises. We typically do something cardio, followed by legs, then abs, then arms, then repeat except its not the same cardio/leg/abs/arms exercise everytime. It makes the class go by fast as…
