What I've found is that if I keep asking about it and talking about it and thinking about it - I'll NEVER do it! Just sign up for it and do your best! I am doing a sprint tri tomorrow and a half marathon in Sept. The only race I've done prior is a 5K that I had to walk b/c of back pain. But if I didn't just go ahead and…

You little rockstar, you...

I'm in Calgary! I would love to find someone close by to be a workout partner sometimes!!

Oh man! I used to live in Marshall but we recently moved to Calgary. I would have loved to get together with you! Good luck finding peeps!

My cousin ran a half marathon with two stress fractures, but I don't recommend you follow in her footsteps! Thinking about you!

It is scary! But we can do it - together. I would love to take this journey with you. I need all the encouragement I can get!!

If you want to add me I would love to take this journey together!

Calgary, Alberta here! I'd love to get some meet and greets. I think it would be awesome!!

Hey provincial neighbor! Welcome! I've only been here about 1.5 weeks, but love the website and all the support. I'd love to be a friend and we can figure this fitness thing out together.

Thank you both so much for the advice. I was so concerned that it was the run that did it and that made me very sad. It's not like I run fast (or anything resembling fast) but I didn't want to have to give up this running thing when I'm just getting into it. I'll see how it goes tonight and tomorrow. Hopefully it will be…

Sorry I can't help you much. I have the same issue. I want to set a goal that will challenge me, but that is also attainable with hard work and dedication. I lose weight VERY SLOWLY so it's hard to gauge how much I would lose. I try to focus my goals on other things than numbers on the scale (kinda hard to do while in a…

Thanks everyone for the support. I have finally gotten it in my head that this is about being active, healthy, and happy. I used to be OBSESSED with the scale. I'm not as much anymore (but I still like to see a downward trend :wink: ). Even not thinking about the numbers on the scale, I want my results "now". I want to fit…

I used to have her 1, 2, and 3 mile workouts. I really enjoyed them. I would count it all as walking - or possibly low impact aerobics.

I understand! I think I'm thinner - I'm actually haven't lost any weight - but I've been trying to improve my self image. I was taking burlesque dancing because I wanted to feel "hot". I got to where I did. I felt sexy!! As long as my eyes were closed. When I caught a glimpse of myself in the wall of mirrors, I was crushed…

Hey! Today is my first day on here. I tracked my "normal" diet today and thought I was going to have a heart attack when I saw the numbers. I always hated food journaling and counting calories, but this sites helps with pretty good estimations. I couldn't believe what I was actually ingesting. My biggest downfall are the…

I too have close to 100 lbs to lose. I've been 240 for so long (a decade) that I don't know what I would look like thinner. I did drop down to 200 in 2008 and immediately got pregnant so back up to 240 I went. I need all the support and help I can get. I'm a turtle when it comes to losing weight and it is very discouraging…

Must be nice! I have always been a turtle when it comes to weight loss. It can be so frustrating to not see results as quickly as I feel I should. Congrats on the loss!

Thank you all so much! I would love to get to know each of you. I need all the help I can get!!
