You look awesome!!!

Welcome to the best years of your life! I will be 48 in January and I have been sleeved for 2 years now. It's been the best decision I ever made. I wouldn't change a thing. There's been challenges along the way and still more to come but I'd do it again in a heart beat!

I have zen lab too and it is totally free. I am now using the zen labs 1/2 marathon trainer. You guys are doing great. Keep up the good work!

Everyone here is doing awesome! Keep it up.

Congratulations!

40's are better than the teens! We don't have parents telling us no. Lol

Distance, speed will come eventually.

Congratulations!

I'm a slow loser as well. I was sleeved 12-6-12 and have only lost 60 lbs total. I have been in a bad stall for the last 6 months. I was going pretty well for the first 1/2 and then I was hospitalized for pancreatitis. A month later I had gallbladder surgery. I gave myself an extra 2 months considering what I had just gone through. I was 2 month alone recovering from the pancreatitis. Since them I have really struggled. I made the mistake of NOT measuring myself before the surgery so I have nothing to compare to. I am going to measure myself as soon as I get to the store to buy a tape measure. I have been faithfully exercising in the last 6 months. I am actually training to do a half marathon in September. It's a slow process as well. I just need some encouragement from the scales. :-)

Deedadumble that sounds so amazing! Congratulations!

Wow! Congratulations! Welcome to the 40's.

Congratulations on your success! Don't let nothing hold you back.

I'm in the same pickle. I know I'm spot on with the exercise. I've completed the 5k program and have started training for a half marathon. I have only lost 6 lbs in the last 6 months! I know I've toned up but that's not enough. It's in my good consumption.

What is 5:2? I've heard it mentioned before but don't really know what it is.

Getting back on track. The last two days I haven't exercised and my eating was high in carbs! Thinking about doing protein shakes only for a couple weeks to get back on track. Anyone else ever do that?

Merry Christmas!!

Thank you Butter & Dee. I will check the book out.

What do you do for energy? I just saw my nutritionist last week and she told me to cut back on carbs. She told me to load up on a protein shake before my run. I'm also in a stall with my weight loss and she says it's because of too many carbs.

That is so awesome!! You believed in yourself and that's the biggest battle. I have finally come to the realization that slow is better than no. I will get faster eventually. Each week I just added another minute to my runtime and I know that eventually the endurance will allow the speed to follow. I love coming here and reading all of the encouragement from you guys. You're all the bomb!

You can do it Scarlett. Start slow and find your magic pace.

Started week 2 of my 1/2 trainer. My ultimate goal is to be able to put a 13.1 sticker on my van. Lol it's the little things that get me!

Great to see you checking back in. I'm allergic to the cold too. LOL

Week 1 of my marathon trainer done! I'm still running mainly on the treadmill. I like my solitude. I know I'm going to have to eventually take it outside but there's just something about my own space. Silly I know but it's working for me right now so if it ain't broke don't fix it is my mantra. 6 more days till Christmas! Do you have all your gifts bought? Lol Happy running everyone!!

Did my circuit this morning. Happy hump day everyone.

You look beautiful!
