great job-- yeah its crazy when you look at pictures!!

Thanks everyone! what is this thread?

1. Being smaller than I was in high school 2. Running my first half marathon in 10 days when I hated running 3. Being able to shop at anything clothing store 4. Being able to comfortably sit in the seats on a plane 5. Being hit on by exceptionally hot guys =) *never thought that would happen* 6. Having all of my 'skinny'…

Just keep doing what you are doing. I get some of the same things, not from everyone, but from enough people. My 'favorite' is wow you are wasting away to nothing, pretty soon we won't be able to see you. Thanks for the underhanded comment, but no thanks. I just keep doing me and realize that it's their issue/insecurity,…

1. Pounds lost: 164 lbs down!! whoo hooo 2. How long it took: about 5.5 years 3. How many calories you were eating a day: started at 1800, then 1500 and now 1300. As I got smaller, so did my meals 4. How many days a week you worked out:-- Right now I work out 5-6 days a week. Started with 15-30 minutes 3 times a week and…

i have not run it, but it sounds fun! i will have to look into it! posting because i am interested in what people have to say

Getting there, I think I will make it by the end of the month =)

love this =)

Feel free to add me-- hated running until November and then i started training for a half marathon. Which is in 16 days and last weekend I ran 12.25 miles =) i also write a blog about my journey and whats worked for me and what hasn't.

I agree with what everyone has said and I wear body media fit and most of the days I do. There was one that I didn't but I just kind of showed up and didn't work hard because I was tired and I didnt burn as many

Congrats!!! always great to see a PR with running =)

I have been open with my friends and family since pretty much the beginning which (for me) has been one of the best decisions I have made. I found that it helped me keep myself accountable and was easy for them to help support me. I have found some people along the way who haven't been the most supportive, but they dont…

doing my first half marathon in 3 weeks, feel free to add me =)

I found this awesome product Flip Belt-- I love it, bought 2. www.flipbelt.com it goes around your waist or your hips and it holds everything including your phone.

At 52 miles! Almost there

Zumba and Running right now-- but have done the elliptical and spinning in the past

awesome advice--- I have my first half in 24 days and super pumped but also excited

I went from a size 26/28 to a size 12 and still shrinking daily, so yes! Lots of hardwork and dedication =) and lots of lifestyle changes, not diets

Yeah and I dont think I have asthma but I carry kleenex and have become quite skilled at running my nose and blowing it ha ha

I actually just started running in November-- and running my first half in 3.5 weeks-- i wrote a blog about my experience-- feel free to add me and read what I have learned

3 miles short, but an injury on the last two days held me up-- oh well, always next month

End of February total: so far on track =)

I missed February by 3 miles because of a mild injury the last couple of days and because of the month being short-- did 97 miles instead of 100 :/ So for March my goal is 103 miles to make up for the 3 that I missed last month. I did 10 today, so already off to a good start =)

So to answer your questions-- I started training on the treadmill because I was scared of the cold weather, etc. I joined a local running group- I didn't realize that a lot of running shoe stores have them. That has helped me keep motivated, go outside in the winter, etc. They know where the side walks are clear and when…

feel free to add me-- I am new to running and i write a blog each week about my journey and love to have other runner friends. and I am training for a half in 5 weeks =)

I like these things called 'pro bar' they are like gummy worms or fish, but they taste better and come in all sorts of flavors. I start them around an hour and then every mile just have one. I usually only use a half pack (1.25) for a 10 mile run.

Just do it-- if you have a race scheduled, it helps with motivation and you will do fine =)

outdoors-- even if it is raining, cold, snow, etc. I prefer outdoors 100 times more than the treadmill

Thanks =)

No i totally get this-- I am going to San Diego this summer and when we were checking out the places to stay, I picked the one that had a running path right outside the door to do the same thing ha ha.
