My furry children keep me going! The 2 dogs lover their walks in the morning and the purring of the 2 cats helps me sleep at night! They aren't the best behaved critters but they don't smart mouth or back talk, they always greet me happily when I get home and they never complain about my cooking! More than I can say for my…

Great site. Thanks!

Inspirational! Thank you!

My first 1/2 marathon is May 5, 2012. I assume I'll have 400 or so miles in by then. Then, depending on how it goes, I'll probably sign up for a fall 1/2 marathon so I'm assuming I can hit at least 800 miles this year. I'm not so worried about time yet as just doing it. But, my training for the 10K at Thanksgiving really…

Funny! I never thought of that. I go and just drink one glass of wine and then lots of water, order salads at dinner and end up boxing part of it for the next day. I'm so lucky that most of my friends are supportive most of the time.

If you can find a water aerobics class, that might help you out. You can buy webbed gloves to add resistance for your arms but the water should help your knees and feet feel better! Good luck to you!

Enter it under Cardio - Strength training (weight lifting, weight training). That'll show calories burned.

Thankful for being able to walk from the far end of the parking lot and all through the mall without having to sit down every few minutes! For having energy to do what I want when I want and not having to plan for breaks and stops along the way to rest!!!!

Way to go! Hopefully your inspirational story will help motivate others to just take that first step!

You look wonderful! Thanks for the inspirational pix!

Bump. I'm interested also.

This is a success story and you've come a long way! I think it's the self smack-talk that's the hardes to over come - sounds like you're doing great!

Great job and great smile!

Awesome! Thank you for sharing - you're an inspiration for the rest of us!

Way to go!

I don't know about best songs work out by but I hear the Rocky theme songs in my head every time I'm running up a steep hill! LOL.

Way to go! Isn't that a great feeling? It's those little NSVs that keep us going! They all add up to one big success!

Great job and thank you for sharing - you inspire the rest of us!

Love the new more contemporary hair style, the bigger, brighter smile! You're doing GREAT! Congrats - your hard work is paying off!

Wow! Lookin good! Keep up the good work!

I crate my 2 "pound puppies" together any time I'm not home. One is a large lab/Rottweiler mix, the other a beagle/smooth fox terrier mix. They get bones and a kong in their cage and to them it's their sanctuary. When left on their own, dogs sleep almost 20 hours a day naturally so I don't feel bad crating them - I'm…

I always sing in the car but I did become a little quieter about it when I bought the convertible - I looked around and realized how really "out there" I was when the top is down.

I just saw a Dr. Oz show yesterday touting chia (yes, Chia pet Chia) as a nutritious way to fill up faster - it swells to 9 times its size in you stomach making it so you can't eat as much. I'm going to check it out at our neighborhood health food store. But, I go with what MissMaryMac33 says - eat more protein. I changed…

Wow! You're rocking it! Great job! and thank you for the inspiration. I come to the Success Stories message boards when I need a littl inspiration and your pix are doing the trick! Thank you for sharing!

Congratulations - you look great! and thank you for sharing. Your success is inspirational!

Very well done! How cool is that?

My own opinion is that, if you're eating 1500-1800 a day, you don't have to worry about eating back all your exercise calories - unless you start feeling hungry. Just make sure you're eating a balanced diet, getting all the nutrients - lots of protein and lots of vegies, a few carbs from complex sources like whole grains -…

You're doing great! But, I have to say, the best change is that smile! You look so confident in your second pix and the one with your boys! Great work!

I think it looks great on you!
