Thanks all! I love all the positive comments!

I decided to start working out at the worst possible time, right before cookie, candy and goodies season. I did this on purpose though, because it works best for me. I know if I can get through those tough days without eating sweets I can get past any ordinary old weekday!

I did the same thing last year too! Right before my finals I quit smoking cold turkey after ten years! I've been cigarette free for 14 months!!!

Glad I can help some of you all get get motivated! SP motivates me!

Good for you!! 25 pounds is a milestone loss, and you deserve a or two! Keep that spark burning, and you will get there! Careful with the running and don't hurt yourself... but if you can handle it, keep on going!

I've lost 25 lbs since the begging of December and I am so proud of me! In the past 2 months I have worked out at least 5 times a week. I eat healthy and have stopped drinking soda! (the soda thing was a huge problem for me) Every chance I get I walk up and down the stairs, park farther away, dance while cleaning and shopping, and even skipped with my 5 year old from the bus stop and in and out of stores! Fun for her but people might think I'm crazy, lol! I have just had enough of caring what judgmental people think.
Yesterday I even tried to run! Haven't ran a long distance in probably 4 years. Gave myself little goals to reach along the way. I went over a mile:)
And yesterday when i didn't see that scale move in over a week I was very discouraged, so I pushed harder. SO glad I did:) Now on to my next short term goal!
