We homeschool because I was told by two public school teachers who taught my son that I needed to get him out of public education. Both ladies said that he would get bored with the slow pace and even the "accelerated" classes would not be enough for him. Glad we listened to them. He has taken two years of Spanish, a year…

I use the endomondo app while doing C25K and it syncs with MFP. MFP logs it as walking, 4 mph.

Born in Austin, Texas and raised in the Mid-South (Memphis & its suburbs)... couldn't get away from the South if I tried!

Since you have already been working out, I think you shouldn't have a problem transitioning to 30DS. I would suggest sticking with Level 1 for a while until you have lost more weight. Listen to your body and if you tired or achy, make sure to rest!

I need to lose 130 total. I've managed to lose 70 of that, but it looks like the last 60 will be harder. Feel free to add me because I need people who are serious about weight loss, not just 5 lbs!

^^This^^ is my biggest fear while running. Are other women not afraid of being assaulted? I don't live in a high crime area, but I do live in the suburbs of a major metro area, and crime does trickle down. We have had several incidents in the past two years of women being kidnapped and carjacked out of their own driveways…

Agreed. They were much scarier when I was 6 or 7. Now, not so much. Still hate to them speak; I am instantly transported back to my parents' bed with my head under the covers :blushing:

Enjoyed it. I never "expect" a profound or life-changing episode, so I'm not disappointed LOL

"Fly, be free"!

You look amazing girl! Keep up the good work. Goal is an 8/10 for me, which as an adult, is a size I have NEVER seen.

My son wants to be the 11th Doctor from Doctor Who, so I'm going to be Amy :)

I did the same thing. I walked for about three months before I started running. I did my own C25K by running from driveway to driveway, or lampost to lampost. I was about 230 when I started adding running into my daily walks.

Hey Becky! At the beginning of my journey, I had a goal of 130 pounds to lose. I've been at this for 2+ years and managed to lose 73 of that. Feel free to add me!

So I'll represent NW Mississippi- Desoto County-Southaven!

Seeing myself in the family Christmas picture in 2009. The following February (2010), I turned 35 and decided enough was enough. I had been fat all my life and it wasn't getting better or easier. So I devised a plan and started exercising on March 1, 2010. I had lost 85 pounds total, but gained back 12 of that after…

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

I have the same problem with my in-laws regarding my 11 year old niece. I took her and my son to Krystals (which is like White Castle, but the Southern version). She wanted 6 cheese Krystals, and at the most I can only eat three at one meal. Plus she wanted a super-size fries and Coke. I thought she was joking, so I called…

Welcome Aboard~ I'm doing C25K as well! Good luck :happy:

USA~ Memphis, TN (but I love all things UK)!

Welcome Aboard! You should also see if any of your "real life" friends on here by searching email addresses. You might be surprised! I found 2 IRL friends on here :smile:

That's an awesome NSV! I'm so ready to get rid of mine!

My son (now 13) loved The Hobbit series and the Chronicles of Narnia. But we're uber-geeks though :wink:

I believe Donna was my favorite as well! I liked Catheirne Tate before she acted on the show, and her being a Companion just solidified my love for her.

Definitely do the Adipose, how cute would that be?!?

Aw, thanks! Mommy is going to be a Dalek :)

And when do we have spring in the South? Never! Goes from 30 degrees the last week of February to 80 the first week of March... Let's go muddin'

Ok, I really LOL'd at this one! Looks like all the dbags that cruised the lake when I was a teenager :)
