Hello all!! My name is Jayme, I am a 33 stay at home mom of 3 kids, and a full time student. I consider myself to be a runner but have never actually counted my miles. This is the perfect group to keep me motivated and log my miles!! I look forward to getting to know everyone!! Add me if you like ;)

US - Washington state

I am happy to help as well!! This is the best place to find support and inspiration! The first thing I did was get rid of all my large dinner plates, my whole family now eats off a salad size plate. It's the little things that will get you where you want to be. Add me if you would like more support! ;)

Fantastic thread!!! You are all amazing, thanks for giving us inspiration!!!

Going to run my first half this spring...I have said this for the last 2 years...this is going to be the year I actually DO IT!!

Slow to start. Alot of people who want to run try to do to much in the beginning. A slow pace in the beginning for short amounts of time will give you the muscle foundation that you need to increase both your speed and time. Good shoes are also a must. Good Luck!!

Good luck everyone!! I'm trying to finish up my 2 papers by Tuesday, in between Christmas parties and 4 kiddos!!

I would like to think that a heathly, positive role model would have been choosen. She is not what I want my daughters to look up to.

save for later :)

Go to your closest and find a pair of pants from the beginning of journey, try them on and then look at yourself in the mirror. This always helps me put things into perspective.

Sounds fun, I would love the challenge!

This ^^^^ is so true!! Went to Vegas, had no control of my food, I was so hungry the entire trip!! Came home got back into my kitchen and hunger pains are gone :)

Well said!!

sounds like a great plan!!

sounds heavenly

Season with garlic powder, lemon pepper, and Mrs. Dash. Wrap in foil and bake. Yumm!

Agree! I also came from WW. This is a great place to get support! Feel free to add me if you would like more support!

Mine as well!!

save for later, same problem :(

I'm a runner as well! Would love to have more friends with running in common! Training for my first half this spring.

Me too! I'm shooting for my first half this spring.

Amazing success!!

Agree with other posters, but I am a treadmill girl. I like that I can control the speed, distance and incline. I agree that it is a lot different than running outside. I try to get outside at least once a week, but the weather here is wet and rainy all the time!! I hate to be cold! Anyway, I am interested in what others…

I agree with the rest of the posters. I lost 120lbs with WW a few years ago, then they switched to the PP and I hated it. Plus the all the money I was spending just to stand on the scale week after week and not see any movement. I do miss my WW pals but I keep up with them on FB. I love MFP, the support here may not be in…

Welcome to MFP!! This is the best place to find motivation, tips and support!! Feel free to add me if you would like more support!

Coffee creamer is a downfall for me. Especially now that the holidays are getting close, the egg nog creamer is back!! This is one area I refuse to give up! I do many, many things right I want to enjoy my morning coffee ;) (I don't measure, I enjoy the taste)

Great post! I love all the tips!!

agree with ^^^^
