I am originally from England and ran 2 1/2 marathons over there many, many years ago. I now live in the US and decided to run a 1/2 before I turned 50 (this July). So I ran the Austin 1/2 in February 2011. I then had a trp back to England, and lost my running groove, and now it's sooooo hot in texas! Have run through knee…

But somehow decided I needed to do another one before I was 50! Now I'm ujp for another, but want to lose weight this time and do some strength training. The best thing I…

I run with my greyhound Annie. You might think she is fast, but they are sprinters not distance runners! She is happy to do 3 miles with me though and once she managed 6 miles with me. :)

I am originally from England and used to run a lot there, including 2 x 1/2 marathons, but I am slow! Have moved to the US and did a 1/2 marathon in February this year. I start with a training group again in August and want to lose 10lbs by then to help better my running overall. Happy to meet you! Jane

I just started again today, and think we used to know each other? I used to be RunningRatty. :)

I too would be interested in any 10K programs. I've been running 5Ks for many years, but would like to do a 1/2 marathon this time next year, so 10K is my next goal. Would love to hear any suggestions!

Welcome. I tried this website last year to lose weight for my wedding and it WORKED! Post wedding the weight came back on for various reason but now I'm back, and I know I can do this again. I've already lost 6lbs in just under 2 weeks. If I can do this you can! Good luck everyone and remember we are all awesome for being…

I'd like to join, but I have 18lbs to lose. Will you take me? :smile: I am 47, have always been fit and eaten well. A nasty divorce, coupled with meeting a wonderful man caused me to stress eat and eat because I was happy at the same time! My new man is also 6' 4" and eats junk (he is getting better) and does not put on…

I put sliced strawberries on top of mine.:smile:

I used this site on and off for the past year, but stress of a nasty divorce got me down and I gained weight. NOW I am very happy and getting married on September 26th to the most wonderful man in the world - I am so lucky. NOW is my incentive to get serious about losing around 30lbs! I'll be posting lots and looking for…

I am originally from the UK, now live in the US. I spent 5 weeks working in NZ about 6 years ago and loved it. Where are you from? You will love it here and make some great friends, gain support and lose weight! Add me as a friend if you like - I'd love to hear more about which part of NZ you are from. Jane

Ok I am done with physical therapy two weeks early! I can start running in 2-3 weeks. He has recommended I don't run the 1/2 marathon in February, so i will do a walk/run depedning on how my knee feels. I will keep working hard and can't wait to be running again. Firegirl, is there a 5K in about a month we could meet up…
