Hope you're staying warm with all that exercise! I'll bet it's nice to have this time to yourself to really prioritize and focus on you! You guys are really getting hit hard, when we moved from DC to NY several years ago everyone was like "Why do you want to go where there's so much snow?" Ha, we haven't hardly had any snow at all, finally got a few inches yesterday, maybe enough to finally get my snowshoes out!

We had a snow day yesterday. Man...am I tired of the COLD. I just want to be able to get outside and enjoy walking again. I had just started getting in the groove of walking a couple of times a week when the cold weather hit. I tried to walk a couple of times, despite the cold, and ended up sick both times. My lungs apparently do not like the cold air. I'm proud of you for going to work out. I need to get myself back on that treadmill before I completely rust. Keep going girl. Oh, by the way...did you know that I am finally in ONEderland?? Yep....weighed in on Sunday at 199. Watch out or I'll catch up with you! God Bless ~~ Hilary

Terrified. I got on the treadmill this morning. It feels good to jog.. but I'm scared. I can't jog for too long a distance. Five minutes max.. then I walk for two.. repeat until about 30 min is up. I'm starting with a five minute walk. I can't see me being ready to go jog over 3 miles in less than four weeks now. It is setting in.. this morning I thought of so many ways and reasons I should back out. I wish I didn't take a little break.. I wish I didn't start my training so late.. I wish.. I'm terrified. I think I'll just keep pushing. I'm feeling like giving up before I've just tried.. just train the month Coni.. just keep telling myself. I look on the web for so many ways to prepare, but when it comes down to it, I just need to get out the door and try. It is so hard.. I shouldn't of told my Aunt. She is showing up to race day.. shouldn't of made my goal so public. But then maybe I would never do it.. maybe all the added pressure to do what I said I was doing, maybe that is pushing me, preventing me from giving up. UUGGHHH I want to stop. I want to just say, walk each day, it is healthy and you'll be fine. But there is something more going on here.. and right now whatever it is, I'm terrified of failure and I haven't even begun.

How quick the body goes back, man how do I know it. I stop my training for two weeks.. one week off, one week just walking. Today I was jog walking.. not the level I was at two weeks ago. I’ll get back. Crunch time, race day is approaching too fast. I’m going to make it.. just gotta push, puSH, PUSH myself. It feels good though… feels good to change, to see what your body is capable of doing.. change is an amazing thing. Thanks for checking on me. Race day March 6 th is still on! Can’t wait. Lots of hard work to do though.. LOTS!

So, are you buying the dress?? Hehe...are you engaged? It is such a wonderful feeling to try on something that looks GREAT on you....but, when it's a wedding dress, it's just that much better. I like your attitude. I have been one to put life off for years b/c of my weight....always believing I would lose weight and life would be better.....but never actually doing anything to make it happen. Times are a-changing! We're going to do this! God Bless ~~ Hilary

It IS about the now! Don't put off til tomorrow what you could do today (unless it's housework!), Carpe Diem! And all those other good sayings...I believe we should live like this. Too many of us here have been putting things off for years because of our weight or being self-conscious, but there is no time like the present (amazing how many of these cliches there are)! Act now, just do it! I'll bet you were just beautiful in that dress, I'm glad your eyes were opened so that you could see it. Once we see that we are beautiful people that should be treasured, it becomes second nature to want to take better care of ourselves. 2010 is going to be great, enjoy!!

Congratulation on the wedding.. somehow I missed that post before my post below! I bet you were just beautiful. The dress sounds just perfect, perfect for you. I love that you wrote no more what was or what could of been.. just living for today and what the world is opening up for you! I'm so happy. You will be the most beautiful bride on that day.. you will look in the mirror and your heart will fill with love... pure love without doubts. My heart is filled with joy today!

How are things going? Did you get the move in? Moving is quite stressful. I gained during mine, had a thousand things going on and eating right/exercise was not one. Should of prioritized it in my life, but we do the best we can do. I've read other people on here lose weight in moving.. not me. The training is going well. I do believe I'm going to take my jogging days outside from now on. I'm now having to do things for distances not minutes.. and I think I may be jogging too fast on the treadmill. VERY hard to hit the current distances I'm suppose to be making. Seems like if I was outside I'd pace it better. I'll try it and if it doesn't work adjust things another way. The important thing is I am uninjured and still on track for my 5k. It is getting harder and harder though. My eating well, it has just been OK. The past few days I can't seem to get full. I'm not eating anything bad.. just too much of the good. For example I ate one pound of grilled salmon. Calories wise, not a good thing but it is a healthy meat. I'm thinking of going back to the SF shakes. I need to shrink the ol' tummy again. I haven't used them in many weeks. They are good for shrinking the tummy back down. Thanks for being a great cheerleader for me, I need it! This is a hard journey and one that will not take overnight. I often say this is a marathon not a sprint...

Glad you are getting things in order! I think it is important to have your own space where you feel comfortable. If you aren't at peace with your surroundings it can wreak havoc on your emotions. And we all know what happens when our emotions are whacked... This journey we are all on is NOT just about weight loss, it's about finding happiness and peace within ourselves. Weight is just one piece of it. So don't feel bad if you happen to be working on one of the other pieces, it is OK. There is no timeline, when the time is right to do something, you will do it. Right now is your time to get your personal space in order. Focus on that and the rest will come. We're with you all the way!

Hey there. Did you get the apartment?? Hope so. It will be nice to have your own place. Wow...are you in your last semester of grad school? I sometimes wish I had continued on and gotten my Masters...actually, if I had it ALL to do over again, I would get a BS in Nursing instead of my BA in Psychology. I SO didn't know what I wanted to be when I grew up. Oh well...at least I have acomplished my goal of being married and having children. Not really wanting to do anything on the career front for the next few years anyway. The Valenine's Challenge is posted each Friday on the "100 pounds to go" board. You just go on and list your challenge start weight, current weight, and goal weight. It's a nice way to stay motivated if you like a little competition. Hope your week goes well. God Bless ~~ Hilary

Well...how's the NEW plan going so far?? I totally think it's ok that you're not going to be using the sf products. They aren't the healthiest thing you can put in your body. I don't use them as often as when I started out, but since I slipped a bit over the holidays, I am going to be having shakes more often over the next few weeks. The simplicity of it really helps me to stay focused. I don't do too well when I allow myself to wing it. Hope everything is going well in your world. Looking forward to seeing your new stats. God Bless ~~ Hilary

Just checking in and wishing you a happy new year! Hope you had fun in GA with the family! We had a great time on our trip and then visiting with family for the holidays, but now it's back to business! Hope all is going well and that you're still tearing up the streets. I'm working on getting more exercise in myself, my friends have started a fitness challenge and I really like to win so I need to get moving. Take care and say hi when you get a chance!

Just wanted to stop by to remind you that a certain someone turns 30 in a few weeks. Want to join in on the Valentine's Challenge?? Most of us are aiming for about 10 pounds by then. I gained 3 over Christmas, so I'm actually going for 13 pounds...want to hit the 50 pounds lost milestone. Sure wish you'd come back and join us! Hope to talk to you soon. God Bless ~~ Hilary
