Hi! Just came across these boards a couple of days ago and have done some reading. I am 32 years old. My highest weight was 262 pounds (at 5'4"). I'm down to about 232-234 at the moment.

I am starting to train for a marathon next year. I just did a half marathon for the first time at the beginning of the month. I don't know who this person I am now is. I've done 5ks in the past too.

I do have my own little blog, called Super Hot Chica in Training. I watch the Biggest Loser. I have Wii (with Wii Fit) and a Playstation 2 (with Dance Dance Revolution - such good exercise). I have a membership to Gold's Gym.

It isn't easy. I still am trying to take it day by day. My ultimate goal would be 131, so I could say I've lost half my weight. We will see.

Anyways, howdy!

Do you have a food program to go with your exercise ?

Hey! I watch what I eat generally by logging everything into MyFitnessPal. On advice from a nurse friend, I try to keep it at 1750 calories or so. She also said to eat a lot of protein (but I'm not excluding carbs or such.) I also try to measure out things more these days. I am no good at following specific diet plans where they tell you what to eat each day

Thanks so much! It's pretty cool here. I was especially fascinated reading all of the body image threads. I've always been overweight, so the thought of being "normal" is pretty weird.
