Hey OP, if you take care of two kids and keep a house you are probably not sedentary in activity level :) try checking the calorie count in an hour of cleaning. Or wear a HRM or pedometer to see what I mean.

In your face you just look so much happier and healthier! What a beautiful woman.

I've proved your taste tests right with science! The science of sweaty NOM NOM NOM.

Running is free.

Thanks for the honesty, I'm with you on this on. I can actually say that I look a hundred times better and happier when I'm more active and twenty pounds lighter than I am right now. Sometimes we need to take our feelings and attachments and reactions and examine them for the things that we are reading into a statement and…

Don't forget that the shift key is located on the left and right side of the keyboard!

I AM SO EXCITED YOU POSTED THIS. Any cleanser with Salicylic Acid in it is going to be AMAZING for acne affected skin. Wash with one twice a day. Period. This is the single best decision anyone with bad skin can make. But you need a scrub to get rid of yucky black heads? Recent discovery: mix baking powder with a facial…

We are all so proud of you! Olive oil on everything you like it on, healthy dips like hummus with crackers and veggies. Try smoothies, especially with your high calorie fruits(mangos are great for that, so are bananas).

If you have lots of joint pain maybe you should see a doctor and look for causes. That could help you break this habit. Just as an FYI, my mother is arthritic and my sisters and I have noticed along with her that we all experience LESS pain when we are mobile--- so being active, knitting, crocheting, typing, all those…

hahaha :) so funny.

This is the best NSV EVER!

Here are some suggestions on what to do with the money you would have spent on your sister's wedding, buying a dress, a gift, participating in an asshat wedding shower or a calorie laden bacherlorette party full of messy drunk bimbos: Buy yourself new running shoes and work out gear! You deserve it and you've totally lost…

This!

I ran a 10.14 min mile today!

NSV is none scale victory!

Oh my god, I'm so glad I'm not the only one getting flack from family and friends!

I started running again a few months ago, without using couch to five k but using the same basic principles(start slow, work up, take your time, etc). Everyone has already told you exactly what I would have told you! Stick at it, be patient, it works. And welcome to the happiest thing in the world.

I'm bookmarking your post, it honestly made me cry. Thanks for posting this.

Your NSV is great!

:) congratulations to YOU! You are a runner now.

Wow, what a great memory for your kids, knowing that you always put health and joy first. I have a lot of great memories of trips like this as a kid, and they were all victories.

I'm 26 and I am obviously crazy in love with MFP. I'd love to hear about some people who are about my age and also interested in health, fitness and a healthy approach to food! I'm rapidly becoming a dirtily obsessed runner and trying to motivate myself to get back to weights. Feel free to add me!

Is there any chance you'd love running? I honestly hate the gym and I won't go back till minus ten degrees celcius, except for weights, but running makes me happy. It makes the world as beautiful as it can be. And I started slow, one block a run, one a walk, then two a run, one a walk, you get the picture. I'm still slow…

Clearly you are killing it! You are making your life the healthy one you deserve! Great Job!

Good for you, what a great achievement!

THanks for sharing not just your impressive work but your amazing insight--- that we are over coming years of food habits, activity levels and personal mind set to become our best us.

Welcome to a newer healthier you!

Welcome to the happiest thing in the entire world :)

ugggh, think about that gross overly full yucky feeling you get afterwards.

Way to go!
