I'm sticking with 55 miles as this month's goal, since I barely made it last month. Hoping to surpass it, though! 10/1 - 3.60 miles 10/4 - 7.08 miles Total - 10.68 miles Goal - 55 miles

I actually ran just over a quarter mile on a rest day JUST to make sure I hit my goal, haha. 9/1 - 3.30 miles 9/4 - 2.41 miles 9/6 - 6.20 miles 9/8 - 3.49 miles 9/10 - 3.66 miles 9/13 - 7.01 miles 9/15 - 3.65 miles 9/17 - 3.70 miles 9/20 - 7.08 miles 9/22 - 3.60 miles 9/24 - 3.68 miles 9/27 - 7.07 miles 9/30 - 0.38 miles…

When I started, my goal seemed pretty daunting. And it did take a while. I did what others said, though. I broke it up into smaller goals, and I knew if I didn't start, by that time the following year I would probably be heavier and wishing I had started.

Oh man, SO close. I am supposed to get one more run in before the month ends, though. 9/1 - 3.30 miles 9/4 - 2.41 miles 9/6 - 6.20 miles 9/8 - 3.49 miles 9/10 - 3.66 miles 9/13 - 7.01 miles 9/15 - 3.65 miles 9/17 - 3.70 miles 9/20 - 7.08 miles 9/22 - 3.60 miles 9/24 - 3.68 miles 9/27 - 7.07 miles Total - 54.85 miles Goal -…

This is a taper week so my runs won't be high mileage. 9/1: 3.23 miles

Met and surpassed August's running goal, and just in time. Yay! 8/2 - 6.04 miles 8/4 - 3.96 miles 8/7 - 3.11 miles 8/9 - 5.19 miles (recovery) 8/11 - 3.89 miles 8/13 - 3.08 miles (group run) 8/16 - 7.00 miles 8/18 - 3.64 miles 8/20 - 3.64 miles 8/23 - 7.01 miles 8/27 - 3.22 miles 8/30 - 5.00 miles (taper) Total - 54.78…

I think I'll try for 55 miles this month.

Thanks everyone! I guess part of me felt like I was "giving up" by maintaining before hitting that ultimate goal weight. But you're right, I will hang out here for a while and go from there.

This, almost exactly. I am a smaller size now than I was when I weighed 137lbs, and I am currently 152lbs. My goal was 140 but I just switched to maintenance a few days ago after not losing anything for a while. I am a size 6, I feel good at this size. Now focusing on my running and endurance.

Took a few days off, wasn't feeling well. Hot and sweaty 3.22 miles today. Less than a quarter mile to goal (has I realized that I would've kicked it out today). 8/2 - 6.04 miles 8/4 - 3.96 miles 8/7 - 3.11 miles 8/9 - 5.19 miles (recovery) 8/11 - 3.89 miles 8/13 - 3.08 miles (group run) 8/16 - 7.00 miles 8/18 - 3.64 miles…

I quit smoking 9 years ago, and I had a 2 pack a day habit as well. I gained a lot of weight, but I wasn't actively trying NOT to gain. I think people use the possible weight gain as an excuse not to do it sometimes, but the truth is not smoking is not what causing the gain, it's your habits. CICO applies after quitting…

I appreciate everyone's comments. I honestly know BMI wasn't the be all end all in weight loss, but medically it seems to be the one thing doctors use, erroneously or otherwise, to measure health and it's frustrating. I am training for a 10K and half marathon, I run a lot. I am active, I feel the best I've ever felt. My…

Good point. My waist-hip ratio is in a healthy range, I should have pointed that out. I am much more pear shape. This is sort of why I'm asking. I have been at this a year and a half. I'm maintaining mostly anyway so maybe I should just sort of try that for a while...

THIS, a thousand times. I'm a single mother and I work full time. So I had a thousand excuses not to do it, but taking an hour out of my day a few times a week and logging my food was a small sacrifice compared to knowing I will be around to see my children grow up.
