When I was 18 my grandma tried to get me to marry her Indian *from India* neighbor so he can get his green card. His family offered me $10,000. When I said no, she asked two more of her grandchildren. We call said no. Should I mention Grandma was bat**** crazy but she sure was entertaining.

Looking good Mychal :) I need someone to take my 'now' pics at 100 pounds lost then when I reach my goal :) I think you will reach your goal sooner than I will. Keep it up!

Beautiful story.

A little boy no more than 4 years old today stopped to hold the door open for me as I was leaving the YMCA. He did it with this big grin on his face :) What a great kid. Great kids from come from great parents :) Made my morning.

12/19... My mom (while she was alive) and my firstborn niece share the same birthday but it would be fun to have a MFP birthday twin :)

Pizza! Pizza! Pizza! Did I mention pizza?

I have been called a smart *kitten* all my life. Does that qualify?

First, thank you for sharing. It takes a lot of courage to put it all out there. Second, good luck on your journey. Third, they say the biggest step in changing is accepting you need help and here you are :) Fourth, I can definitely offer you support :) Fifth, motivation. That has to come from you :) I can encourage you…

You can add me if you want :) I am told I am pretty motivational. Good luck on your journey.

I had jellybeans on my desk that I ate, so I came on here to log, saw this post, and am now commenting on this thread and not logging. OR working. MFP is addictive.

What shows in both your pictures is your beauty::You have such a great smile. Awesome journey :) Thank you for sharing!

You are stunning!!

Nancy, hi :) I am Veronica. I too am on C210K app, week 3 day 2. I completed the C25K a few weeks ago, ran my first 5k on 3/9/13 and did it in 34:50. Certainly not fast but for a newbie runner I was quite pleased. I am currently training very hard for my first Sprint Triathlon in 2 weeks so will be looking for a 10k…

You look great!!

Awesome job True Blue! Thank you for sharing :)

Good luck on your journey. You will find excellent support here.

LOL just for a a quick bang...

Congratulations on your transformation and your own empowerment of your health. You can lose the rest. After all, you have come this far :)

Cardio or strength training?

I finished this program, never thought I could be a runner, did my first 5k 3/9/13 :) 34:50 for a 50 year old. Not too shabby. Follow the program, you will do great :) Good luck!

Oh and happy early birthday!

Grimm welcome and good luck on your journey :) You will find great friends and support here.

Seriously, LOL, I was major bummed but it is something called the Angel's Race. Big charity event around here I have been wanting to do for 11 years since they formed it when one of my daughter's friends died at 13 and their parents for this foundation. I am finally fit enough at 50 to do a Sprint Triathlon. I will suck it…

I couldn't function with all my workouts without music but I just read USAT rules for my upcoming Sprint Triathlon. NO personal mp3 players, iPods, anything. UGH How am I going to make it without music??

I'm not sure what range of foods you are meaning when you are talking store brands vs name brands but I shop at Kroger and for the most part I purchase their store brands.

Bang :)

I started the Active.com C25K on New Years, ran in my first 5k 3/9/13, did a 34:50, not speedy but I ran the entire thing, and I am 50. I think I will get faster as time goes on and just started the C10K. I absolutely never thought of myself as a runner. I was doing a Y Tri indoor challenge at my YMCA over the weekend, and…

Is there a difference between a bromance and a man crush?
