Please add me in too!! :)

I did a 10 k clinic with the Running Room a few years ago and I loved the experience! A friend of mine did the Running Rooms' learn to run clinic and she really found it to be a supportive atmosphere, which made me in turn sign up for the 10 k one. I was thinking of eventually doing their Marathon training one, once I…

I also have a calendar and a weekly chart that I place fun stickers on. categories are water, sleep, nutrition and fitness. I put a sticker under each one so I know how I'm doing each day at a glance. If I dont get 8 hrs sleep, no sticker that day. I have a fitness poster on my wall with the calendar and chart with a bunch…

I give myself rewards for every 5 lb loss. A big reward on the 10's and a little thing on the 5's. I have a half way reward, since it is sucvh a long journey and a one-derland reward. Just non-food stuff. I also reward my self for every fitness activity I complete in money to save up for at the end to go on a thrift shop…

I need to lose about 70 lbs, I live in Nova Scotia which is pretty cold and windy right now (big snowstorm yesterday!) I'm 40 and doing my workouts at home (Workout videos) and outside (when I can). I have PCOS and I am watching carbs. Carbs are my downfall, my addiction. I would love to have friends with similar journeys…

Hello everyone - I've got 70 lbs to lose as well - feel free to add me!

I have 76 lbs to lose, aiming for this summer to have it gone.

I am currently in training for my third half marathon. I got in to running using the C25K programme and loved it. I always go back to it after a lengthy illness or surgury and have reccomended it to friends. Always looking for running friends, please feel free to add me!

ISO Flex is good - no sugar or aspertame, 27 g protein, 1 carb, 115 calories. I love the chocolate mint and the chocolate peanut butter. i don't like the vanilla, but haven't tried the plain chocolate. there are also ISO Flex chillers in iced tea and peach and there is a fruit punch flavour too, which are good.

The comments that have bothered me the most came from my sister-in-law (who lives in the same house as me, with my parents) - wanting to borrow a sweater for her father's funeral, i told her to help herself to my closet. She picked one saying "Its chilly, i could use something i can wrap around myself two or three times" -…

From Nova Scotia, Halifax more specifically! :)

For the motivation aspect, I have printed motivational slogans and pictures from the internet and put them on my bedroom wall, desk , and fridge. Stuff like - "start today - and you'll achieve your goal a day earlier than if you start tomorrow" and so on. I find i can make excuses in my head and argue and talk myself out…

If you do get another pair, try them out in a gym either running around an indoor track or treadmill so they will take them back - some stores don't take shoes back once they've been used outside. :( I had to try many styles before finding the shoe that fit like it was made for my foot and didn't cause shin splints etc.

For condiments Walden Farms and Green Valley Ranch make low carb, sugar free dressings, ketchup and sauces. They aren't the same as the real thing, but you get used to them. They are great for making stir frys.

What an inspiring story, thank you for sharing it. You are so strong and determined, a true survivor. What a transformation you have made in such a short time! You are a true inspiration of what determination and hard work can do!

I hope to see more posts from you in the future!! You truly are inspiring! A true superhero! Thank you for sharing your story with us!

Do you already have a bad back? If so, consider strengthening your core. If you do decide to run (I run with the same size as you) get a really good compression running bra. I use Moving Comfort bras. ( I have the fiona style) They are awesome, and really keep you in, and from moving too much in that area.

I am so sorry for your loss. I myself have lost a few cats, through the years, most to old age (Dolly 18, Tiger 16, Katie 21, Patches 14, Carmel 12) and am dealing wih a broken jaw on one that was hit by a car over a month ago. (Molly, 3) She is healing well though I though we'd lose her. I loved them all, they were/are…

Bump for later. Thanks for the info!!!
