My pace ranges anywhere from just over 10 min/mile to almost 12 min/mile depending on how I feel, weather, etc. and I run anywhere from 1-3.5 miles 3-5 days a week. I try to do no less than 2 miles, but some days one mile is all I can get in.

I think the best exercise you can do, is one you like and can stick to! If you enjoy running, do that! But, yes... running is great for weight loss. Good-luck!! You can do it!!!
-
I've lost about 64 lbs and a big part of that was running, although I also used MFP to count calories. I'm now in the top end of healthy BMI but, I'm still "flabby". :ohwell: Running is great for weight loss, but I can say that most people aren't going to get toned from running alone.

That's a year to be proud of, for sure! :drinker:
-
Well done!! I agree, slow and steady is the way to go!
-
First off, I LOVE seeing everyone's year end results! We have a LOT to be proud of from 2013!! :drinker: I started MFP on Jan 17th 2013. 5'5" SW: 196 CW: 147 GW: 135 I had already lost 20lbs (by exercising alone) before joining MFP, so my known heaviest was that much more. :ohwell: Here's a face picture the day I started…

You are proof that where there is a WILL there is a WAY! Congrats on your success and best of luck with your upcoming surgery.
-
Congratulations!! The thing I love about running is that it's about “beating” yourself, not necessarily others. And you surely did that!! :happy:
-
Good job!! It is not easy, but there are so many milestones along the way to enjoy!! You are looking great!
-
I'm so sorry about your loss, it breaks my heart to think of what you must have gone through. Congratulations on finding what works for you and falling in-love with running!! I also love it! It's such a honest, productive thing. :happy:
-
Check out : http://www.mybodygallery.com/ I look at it for this reason often! :)
-
I'm sorry, I know how you feel as I went through the same thing. Just make sure you don't let it push you back into unhealthy living and it will pass.
-
Amazing!! What an inspiration you are! I just did my first 5K Saturday and feel great about it, but you are proving it is possible to do so much more when you set your mind to it! I love it!!
-
Nice!! I'm a bit jealous!! :drinker:
-
That's my favorite NSV, so I don't think it's silly at all. I LOVE being able to wear my rings and not feel like they're jammed on sausage fingers. Congrats to you and enjoy flashing that ring hand around! :heart:
-
Well done, you look fantastic!!!
-
Thank you everyone for the kind reminders and advice! It really means a lot. For me, I have a short waist and feel like the high waisted stuff will do me no favors, but I'm sure there is a middle ground? About weight lifting, I'm not currently doing it. I need to get back into it, I need to make it a priority. I don't…
-
ALL this! And welcome back! You can do it!!
-
Feels nice, huh?! Congrats!
-
"Super" cute outfit! :wink: Congrats on your run, what a great accomplishment!
-
You're pretty amazing. The weight loss is remarkable and you should be feeling very proud of yourself for that, but I also think you have a gift for writing. I'm envious!
-
This!
-
Thanks! A cankle is where your calf runs into your ankle with no or little distinguishable ankle.
-
Way to go, you've done really well! Make sure you have a little extra fun with dressing now, since you missed out in the earlier part of your life.
-
You're amazing, I really don't know how you do it!! Congratulations I hope you and your husband really enjoy the cruise!
-
WOW, well done!! You look so good. I wish I had some of your height! :wink:
-
Well done & congratulations, you are looking fantastic!! I have been wanting to try a color run, but the thought of breathing in the chalk worries me. Is no big deal?
-
I'm a little surprised by all the comments about how much younger I look, because only one person outside of MFP has said that to me. Maybe it's because they've seen the transformation slowly, over time vs the side-by-side before and after? It's a great thing though, so thank you again!
-
Thank you all!
-
Congrats on your sucess so far! It feels good, doesn't it? I love that you've found a renewed joy in being outside, as I have also. I run/walk around my neighborhood and it's been so eye opeing to see and feel different seasons (although I live in AZ so it's a subtle transistion from almost cold to hot - ha!) and I have…
