Dear MFP...I'M NOT FAT ANYMORE!!!
I have been under the impression for quite some time that my "goal weight" was 140 pounds based on BMI. (I'm 5'3" and the "healthy" range for my height is 104-140). So as to not be "overweight" anymore, my actual mental goal was 135lbs so that I wasn't right on the edge of overweight. All the time, people would say to me…

so happy with my times!
I ran my first 5K last year (June) weighing in at 230-ish pounds (my heaviest was 273). My only goal was to run the whole thing, no stopping, no walking and I did that. My time was about 37:45. Less than one year later, I'm weighing in at 164 pounds and this week I have consistently run my practice 5K's in less than 30…

changing exercise routine = weight gain???
So I normally exercise every day and I pretty much have the food thing down. Lately I have been alternating every other day between doing the elliptical and The Firm dvd's. But my elliptical is on the fritz (working on getting warranty exchange). So, I've been running instead, at least 2 miles a day on the days that I…

WOO HOO!!!
Just had to share...I am so excited and proud of myself!! I ran in my first 5K on Saturday...going in, my goal was simply to run the whole thing, and hopefully in about 40 minutes (I usually pace 12.5-13.5 mins/mile). Well, I finished...no walking...and did it in 37:45!!! I'm so stoked, I'm going to keep training and run…
