Thank you for sharing. Very inspirational. You are officially a marathoner!

Count me in, please.

Does your gym have a stairmaster (the one that mimics walking upstairs) or a step aerobics class where you could add extra risers? Those would help.

4/1 - 186.5 - 10 lbs would put me within spitting range of overweight, instead of obese Plan - Exercise - 45 Miles, 10 30 DS circuits, Circuit of steps at work 3 xs week Food - End week w/ net within 1200 range, salad or veggie loaded meal 5 xs week

podrunner.com, especially the interval & staircase workouts free techno music with set BPM there's also an app

I'm in. I've been running but I need a full body workout that doesn't take a ton of time.

I bought most of my clothing from Ann Taylor at this weight and I was a size 8.

Wowzers! You look great! Nice job.

I was just thinking that I need to go to the ATM to get $100 to buy 2 pairs of new shoes for my toddler. So there you go.

EA Sports Active 2 (Wii) has step aerobics and boxing.

Long run embarrassment. Went on a vacation with 24 hour open bar, buffet, restaurants & room service. Friend suggested we take laxatives before bed to deal with the days of binge eating & drinking. Went for a long run the next morning. You can guess the rest.

Yowzers! You are amazing and beautiful throughout your journey. Thanks for the inspiration.

Under Armour Outlet - tech shirts for running Walmart - Danskin bras, Socks Target - Champion brand - I have gotten my money's worth many times over from my running pants. I love them & wash them after a workout & wear them the next workout.

I have participated in 2 destination weddings & was a guest at another one & all of them were a big hit on the pocket. I spent at least a thousand in the 2 instances where I was an attendant - between showers, gifts, wedding attire, travel, etc.,. I think participating in a wedding comes with the expectation that you may…

What is an unreal woman & what would she have?

Search some of the before and after pics for the 30 day shred and lift heavier weights.

I think it's misleading to have an ad that includes baby weight in the weight loss number since a significant portion of it drops away naturally. For example, I saw an article talking about Mariah Carey's "staggering 30 pound baby weight loss in 3 months." She would have dropped a significant amount of weight after giving…

Everyone was new at the gym at some point. Along with resolutions, people join gyms in January because many gyms make it a better deal by lowering the cost & reducing or eliminating fees & the colder weather means moving workouts indoor. It's really the responsibility of the gym staff to ensure that classes are not…

I keep some Lean Cuisines in the freezer and have started eating them a couple times a week for lunch for convenience and variety. I drink a ton of water/tea during the day so I don't worry about sodium. I was eating a lot of salads for lunch and I got bored. Realistically, most of what I might buy for lunch (sandwich at…

Add me. I need to lose 50. I have a mini goal of losing 30 by July 1.

I use the Wii Board. It tracks and shows you a chart of your weight/BMI over time.

Reading back through this thread it looks like the challenge closed the same day it opened. Anyone interested in moderating another 30 pounds by July 4th group? Setting up an online google spreadsheet that allows everyone to check in/self post on a weekly basis seems like an easy way to go. I like this timeframe and weight…

I'm going to a gym treadmill later in the month to stay conditioned for my spring 10 miler. Last year I did the 10 mile race in the early spring and I noticed that my prior time was better because I had done some winter running on a treadmill and at an indoor track. Last year, I intended to winter train outside but that…

The scale is just another part of my daily routine. The only time I'm intimidated by it is when I go off the charts for an extended period - like Christmas or when I haven't been on in so long that I don't know what to expect. I use a Wii scale and I am looking forward to the day when it stops calling me obese & calls me…

Perfect. I've been looking for a challenge with a spreadsheet without too many challenges and Tuesday is my regular weigh day anyway. July is a family reunion type of event so I am highly motivated since the last time my family saw me I was carrying as much weight as I did when I had a baby the prior year. SW 12/27 - 191.8…

Goal Weight 1/31 - 183.8 SW 1/1 - 192.8 ( up 1.4 from 12/1) 1/9 - 1/16 1/23 1/30 1/31

I always think of the folks on the TV show the BIggest Loser when I think of running at my higher weight. When I was heavier years ago I didn't run because I thought I had too much weight and jiggle, but I am inspired when I see them on the treadmill, showing their bodies & ending the show with a marathon. You can be…
