Excuse me, I seem to have misplaced 100 pounds...

That's right! I met the 100 pound mark AND I'm only four pounds to my mid point. I was so excited about this that I went to the NewBalance store to treat myself to a new pair of walking shoes... and I allowed the awesome cute young sales rep encourage this 260 pound, 41 year old woman into a pair of RUNNING shoes and he pointed me in the right direction to study up on proper form to avoid injury (www.goodformrunning.com)... I downloaded the couch 2 5K app and tried day one today.... LOL, I only made it 1/3 of the way through... which represents a grand total of just three minutes running but it felt GREAT (once I could breathe again)... I'll keep trying it three or four days a week until I can complete the entire session, then move on to the next level. My goal is to run albeit very, very slowly, the Halloween 5K fun run this year. What a difference a hundred pounds makes!

Awesome!! You are my inspiration!!

Wow! Way to go!

I like New Balance, they always fit me well. What a great purchase! You invested in your health and success. You will make it down to lean and mean for sure.

I splurged on the best shoes I could find. I have used them to the max.

Congratulations! 100 lbs is a major milestone. I can't wait to start misplacing my pounds too!

YAY!!! Congratulations! You'll be running 10K in no time!

Great job Serendipity. I am so happy for you!!

I totally applaud you for getting new shoes. Our feet are extremely important to take care of. :) Did you buy smaller shoes? :)

Good point. Save up for the second pair, Serendipity.

I didn't realize that fat lurks even in feet but it sure do. I went from 13 to 12.
