Okay...thanks. I feel better...my gut says to just keep doing what I'm doing and it'll get perfected with time. Maybe it doesn't have an official "label"...and that's okay.

Agreed...this is a mental illness...the same as anorexia or bulemia...so so sad that no one is helping her...

WOW. Congrats, man. What an inspiration...

I am TECHNICALLY training...but I have no races scheduled. Life is really crazy for me right now...and planning a race would add to my stress. Besides...I have discovered that I'm actually a better solo runner. Crowds freak me out. Since the whole point of running is stress RELIEF...right now the only person I am competing…

Okay...do I start with January 1st? I'll put down my runs from January 1st on...and you add the ones that count. And then we'll go from there!! 1/3/2012 - 5.98 miles 1/5/2012 - 5.49 miles 1/7/2012 - 14.43 miles 1/10/2012 - 6.70 miles Thanks!! Shannan

My highest was 272. I've almost hit my century point (100 pounds lost). I will still have about 30 to go to hit the top end of my doctor-recommended ideal weight range. It took 2 years with no programs, shakes, meal plans, surgeries, or doctors...just learning to eat right and exercise. In other words...I did the hard way.…

How do we check in? I'm interested...but would like more details...

This is awesome...thanks for sharing!!

Awesome!! How inspiring!!

AWESOME SAUCE!!! You go, gurl!!

Unfortunately...yes. I wish I could say that I would be judged by something other than my weight...my personality, perhaps? I wonder how it will be when I have lost the last 40 I have to go...

I've only run one and am training for my second...but you can add me!!

You don't need to ditch your old friends (even though they seem intent on ditching you)...but it might be a good idea to widen your friend base and make friends with some new people that share your goals. It's more fun, you'll have people to talk to who don't criticize (by the way...they do that, and because they're…

Happens a lot. Try checking on-line for calories BEFORE you enter a restaurant (most have nutritional info posted on their websites). New rules say chains with over a certain number of locations HAVE to post nutritional info on the menu...but not sure when that law takes effect. And of course, their are loopholes to get…

I totally get that. When people hear I've lost almost a hundred pounds...they get all animated and up in my face. "How'd you do it?" they ask, all breathless and excited. They're just waiting for me to laud the benefits of HCG, or rave about the doctor that performed my bariatric surgery, or...better yet...introduce them…

I got a stitch in my side my first 5K...someone told me to slow down and take 3 very deep breaths and it will go away. It worked!! And I picked up my pace and was fine after that. So maybe try that?

Open your diary...let others see what you are eating. You'll get more help and advice that way. Also...just my opinion...but when you start making changes, your body tends to resist. You might store a little more than normal because it notices that it's not getting the same food it was getting, or that you are suddenly…

Bittersweet is right!! Your friend would be proud...

ME!! I'll do this!! Sounds like a fantastic challenge!!

ME!! Good luck!!

I like songs with not only the right beat to run to, but a "message", I guess...I'm all over "Invincible" by OkGo, "Extraordinary" by Liz Phair, and "It's My Life" by Bon Jovi. Believe it or not...Motley Crue and "Kickstart My Heart" is a fabulous race finisher...

CONGRATS!!

Thanks for the tips!! I can't wait!!

That made my day...Nerf Bat totally getting strapped to my Fuel Belt...

Question 1) of course Question 2) 7 Question 3) We try to keep it at $1000 a month Questions 4 and 5) No...throw away the moldy pieces. You can keep bread a bit longer if you freeze it, just take out the slices you need and thaw them by using the lowest setting on your toaster (or if you're packing a kids lunch...they'll…

Pizza...oh my gosh. I can eat a whole pie...

Congrats!! What an amazing transformation!! Good luck with everything the future has in store...and keep inspiring those of us still working it out on MFP!!

I have found that runners are the most generous and happy people in the world...and they UNCONDITIONALLY LOVE other runners...no matter the level they're at. They're always encouraging others, no matter their fitness level. They're always happy to give SUPPORTIVE advice...not: "Hey...you're doing this wrong. You should be…

I'm running my first half in 3 weeks, and WDW Marathon on January 8!! I'll request...could use some running friends!!

I had 140 pounds to lose. I am down 92 pounds...so I see my first century in sight!! It is possible...just need hard work and a lot of patience!!
