Start out slow..or you'll burn out. I requested you as a friend.:)

I hear ya!I need support too! Congrats on the weight loss! You know how to do it! Just don't burn out! I'll help you, if you can help me. :)

Thanks! :))

Well, I actually don't believe in new years resolutions. My thinking is, do it now, don't wait until the end our beginning of the year to get started. I started getting healthy in April 2012. I just started walking 2x a week, and now I have 1half marathon under my belt. What I will do differently this year, is do another…

Wowzers! That's a big change. Thankfully my period started 3 weeks late. It seems way heavier than normal. :/ at least it's back. :) it felt so wrong the last 3 weeks. I never thought I'd say that. :O

I usually use 693 calories on my long walk, once a week. Then during the week, I use about 270 calories 2x more. I try not to eat up the calories I burned off. For my weight, MFP had me at 2020 calories a day. There are days when I don't exercise, and I don't eat up all my calories.

So this begs the question....if you work out without resting, will you be able to keep it up to maintain the new body, you'll create? I imagine that inadequate rest may cause injury to your body. So even if you may be able to pull it off for a while, out may start to take a toll on your body. Good luck.

I agree with not advertising things. The only people whoknow that I'm trying to get healthy are my supporters. People who will lift me up, not pull me down.sounds cheesy, but we have to set ourselves up for success!

I love it that you stood up for yourself. Damn bullies.

No that doesn't happen to me. Where I work, it seems like everyone is eating healthy.its the people with fast food that seem embarrassed on their own...because most of us are munching on healthy stuff. I agree that the people at your work are just trying to make themselves feel better about their unhealthy choices. The…

Thanks people. I appreciate any help. I use my fitness pal, and it shows me in excess by about 35~40grams of protein on the days I do my long runs. LOL about ever seeing good looking marathoners.I keep telling myself they all need a sports sunscreen for their faces.Right now, I'm just having fun. I like how running avg…

:flowerforyou: Hi Everyone, I have a 3 year old son and an 11 month old son. It is so hard to eat right. Go ahead and add me. Lets help each other.I want to lose about 60lbs. I'm walking my first half marathon in October 2012. ;) I walk about 13 miles a week.

I agree! I think a little excess skin may remain, but I'm thinking when there's a will, there's a way! Go us! :))) We can do it!

First and foremost congrats on losing 65lbs. Amazing! I want my fat belly to get lost, and my inner thighs to slim down.
