    in Ran my first 5k... Comment by slinne May 2012
  • I can definitely relate to this. I have always been over-weight and never really tried to lose weight until 6 years ago. I went on one of those pre-packaged food diets and lost 125 lbs. I went from 370-245. I stopped buying the food and shortly after that I slipped back into my bad eating habits. I gained all of that…

  • You have done great man. My wife and I started almost two months ago, and I couldn't be more happy. It can definitely be a challenge, but some things have become second nature. Thank you for sharing you progress. It is very inspiring. I can't wait to get back down around the 250's, even if it still 75 lbs away from my…

  • That is great! We can only tackle one day at a time, and winning the mental battle is probably more important than winning the physical battle.

    in My First Half-Marathon Comment by slinne May 2012
  • Thanks guys for all the comments and tips. They are very inspiring to me. I know I can do this. I lost the weight before, but gained it back because I didn't learn how to maintain. This time around I am learning every step of the way. I have never been a walker or a runner, so I am very excited about this next step in my…
    in Completed my first 3 mile walk this morning! Comment by slinne May 2012
  • Thanks man. My legs didn't really burn, but the soles of my feet did. I really need to get some running shoes. My current shoes just aren't made for that kind of thing. Good luck with your walking! I will eventually try to start jogging, but I'm going to walk for at least a month before i try to mix any jogging in.

  • Hey Shane. I did the same thing. I joined a year or two ago and lasted a month, but I am back now starting yesterday. I was 28 then and about to turn 30 now. Wishing you luck with your journey!

  • Welcome man! Any kind of start is a good start! I am new and have a long way to go too. We can do it though. Just have to keep our focus on our goals. Make sure to make small goals for yourself. Tackle each goal one at a time. I know it will get easier as we continue, and eventually it will become second nature. Good luck…
