I love the idea of this challenge! Count me in, please :-)

How fun! My first half-marathon was the Rock & Roll event in Las Vegas as well (it was the inaugural event in December 2009), and me and some friends ran it in the wee hours of the morning (I remember having to check-in around 5AM'ish, but it seemed a lot earlier, LOL). It was freezing cold, but once I got running I…

Yay! Congratulations! I remember the excitement of finishing my first half-marathon...it was freezing cold (Las Vegas, early Winter morning) and I hit a wall somewhere between mile 9-10. Luckily I ran with a very good friend of mine (& experienced marathoner) who coached me through the last few miles. We celebrated…

My FAVORITE time of year and also the worst time of year in terms of calories consumed versus calories burned!! I am shooting for a 32 pound loss which is 6 pounds short of my first goal (38 pounds); however, I will be happy to have lost between 15-20 pounds by end of this year given how challenging it is for me to stay on…

Stunning!! You've completely transformed yourself -- beautiful. Congratulations!! =)

It's important to find a program that you feel comfortable with/think you can stick with because like anything, it can become monotonous. Thankfully, there are a number of running tools/resources/programs available on-line. I stumbled upon and used the Personal Running Trainer program that I downloaded from iTunes. I…

Hi Everyone! I just saw this post (officially started MFP this past weekend & am still working my way around the site!). I'd love to join this challenge :) Just wanted to throw something out there if anyone is interested...another challenge I participated in assigned points for certain items...for example: we earned points…

Welcome! I just started here, too...over the past weekend actually. Our weight/size is similar; at my heaviest I was at 238 and a size 20; last year I lost 55 pounds and was a size 12 at 175 pounds (I felt really good at this weight/size despite it still being outside my healthy BMI/weight for my age/height/gender), but…

Please feel free to add me :) I do believe weight is a huge factor in causing my irregular cycle. Case in point, after losing 55 pounds last year, my cycle became…
