Ht. 5'6", Start: 170 lb, Today: 171 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 140 lb - I am pondering right now if I should run another half marathon. For the first time in years, I am sick of being overweight again. I see the girls and the boys that are, (not perfectly, no one actually is no matter what you say) skinny, always smiling. The downers are the ones who are always having trouble walking, and the ones who have the slimmer friends, so that they feel like they are too. Those are the people that have an eating problem, those are the people who continue to gain!
For not watching my weight, I gained 50lbs since the last time I had ran a half, and I want to be part of the slimmer group now. Hopefully the things I know are going to help me durring this weight loss that I want to do.

Hi Andrew. I know how you feel. It feels like I was 115 one day then shot straight up to 149 in a flash. Just hang in there :) I've already lost 22 pounds so far, My goal is to be 115 by July. Thats when my aunt and I are walking 60 miles to stop breast cancer. Good luck :)
