So Happy I found this site!!!
 

Hi!!! I started on Tuesday (4/26) after toying with the idea on and off for years. My husband and I both joined and we each have about 50 lbs (total of 100 lbs!) that we each gained respectively over the past 8 years. I'm doing a marathon in October in San Francisco and I would love to run through the finish line with a great time. I did this race 2 years ago and barely crawled in under the 8 hour time limit. I felt awful for a week after. I trained and busted my butt and never got below 180 lbs and I didn't even buy the professional pictures of me running through the finish line of 26.2 miles because I hated how big I looked! Now we have made the commitment to lose weight and get healthy to set a good example for our kids! Super excited to be here and will need lots of encouragement. Yesterday (day 1) was really hard and I felt like I was fuzzy with a headache all day. Today was better, no headache, but still a little fuzzy. Not nearly as hungry today either! Well, good luck to everyone else as well!!!
