I was going thru my old posts tonight and laugehd when I saw this topic. I'm now running 7k a night. :) Its insane how much better we can get if we keep at it.

I agree w/ everyone else.. don't push too hard and just keep at it. I started it in the beginning of the summer, and it was very difficult. I couldn't even run 60 seconds at a time without feeling like I was going to pass out. Now I am up to running 7km a day. :)

I could no longer fit clothes that fit me..

I agree, that looks like great progress. You looked so toned now! Keep up the good work !

Lack of exercise, abundance of food within arms reach, and simply not caring. All these were factors for me.

Well if ya get fries don't forget you can ask for them to be saltless and they will put down a batch for ya.

I like them fried with some ketchup on top. :X

Yay!! Congrats :) I am up to about that in running, too.

So since you are "dieting", this is only short term. What will happen once you go back to eating regularily?

Thanks for the responses all :)

I won't be joining as I am doing my own running program, but I want to say good luck to ALL of you and you ALL can do it if you put your heart and mind in to it. Good luck!!

I take fish oil daily. I don't know if its actually helping me in any way, but I bought them and will see it through until they are gone.

Wow! Way to go!! You look so fit and toned.

Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow! You look amazing. Keep up the great work! :)

Congratulations!! That is an awesome success. Ready for your next 5k now?? I heard it gets addicting.. ;^) Congrats.

Lol I must have done that for at least 3 years. I must have started and stopped at least 150 times! Thankfully I am past that. :)

The nugget one isn't true. Interesting, none the less. I am sure there are many "weird" stories like this that are true, though.

Yup! Sounds like a good workout. :)

Congrats! Isn't it a great feeling when you finally drop into another weight zone? YAY!

I guess thats it. Its hard for me to have a conversation when running as I am panting so much. Its hard for me to run so far without stopping but I push myself everyday at it.

I goto the gym at 7am and I do my run at 8pm at night!

I have a tattoo on each wrist. They can be covered with a long sleeve shirt. Sometimes its a pain in the butt but I enjoy them.

For me , I just had to keep reminding myself that this is what I want and I will have to work hard to get to where I want to be. Do I want to be fat still, eating junk food daily and feeling like a couch potato? Or do I want to feel healthy, active, be able to run, and hopefully live a long life. I had bad cravings for the…

Great job!! WOOT!

My dad is almost 70 and he runs over 5km a day. You are never too old. Good luck! :heart:

Prayers for your daughter! :flowerforyou:

Thats amazing! You look at least 20 years younger in my opinion! Keep up the great work!!!
