Way to go! You look so good!

You've taken the first step. MFP is amazing! I don't know any of my friends on here personally, but they keep me motivated and congratulate me on my achievements and seeing theirs is great motivation too. My situation is a little different. My family supports me but they are a thousand miles away. I don't have anyone in my…

Ahhhahaha! Too funny! Smart advertising though...

Shin splints? Really? I never would have imagined they caused this much pain. Thanks for the responses. I have nice running shoes, so I think I'm going to try to experiment with my pace and stride and hopefully that will do the trick.

I've never been to Australia, but from pictures and stories I have heard from my parents and a few friends, I can only imagine how beautiful it is in person. I have been in NYC for 7 months now.

Apparently I would cry from the time we got on until we got off, or if the flight were long enough I would cry myself to sleep. I'm just claustrophobic and have a fear of heights. I wish my 'rents…

Congratulations, that's fantastic!

I love it here! There is so much do see and do. No matter what you are into, there is something here for you. At the same time the sirens and non stop noise is sometimes frustrating. I have a fear of flying, too... I know how you feel. I want to see what the rest of the world has to offer and experience other cultures.…

Woohoo! That's the best!

Haha. Yeah, that would be very time consuming for you! Online support is great too!
