Feeling awesome - big NSV for me
Well, I posted on here a while back about quitting smoking (it's been 15 days so far!) and getting back into running. After I quit smoking and first started running, it was difficult for me to run 1.5 miles without stopping a couple times to take a breath. Today, 2 weeks later, I ran 2.5 miles only stopping once after…

A NSV victory that I'm truly proud of

Belly dancing?
Has anyone encountered any good belly dancing-type videos that have been a good workout? I feel like belly dancing, though it might make me feel kind of silly, would be a really cool way to shed some pounds. Suggestions?

Back again
I used MyFitnessPal earlier this year and sort of fell out of it for a little while, but after gaining more weight that I expected after a stressful summer and moving residencies, I'm ready to jump back on the wagon again. I'm currently 175.2 pounds and I ultimately want to get down to 130 pounds! Something tells me that…
