It has always been hard for me to motivate my way out the door and into a jog!....My inner chubby keeps saying "do it later", "don't forget about that new show you DVRed" or "ice cream sounds better"...but not anymore! Meet my new companion....Oliver!

How can you say no to this little face...He gets me outside and walking *(sprinting at times).

My husband and I have always wanted a dog so, no, this wasn't just a "get a dog to make me run" thing...but a healthy ulterior motive doesn't hurt.

Who helps you?!?

He's so cute!

Sweet! Meet mine.

i just got two havanese pups ( sgt. pepper and salty dog ) but...my inner chubby says , "THEY ARE TOO YOUNG TO TAKE OUTSIDE FOR WALKS!" However, I've gone one week today walking/jogging in efforts to shed the 52 pounds I gained this last year. DAMN CHAMPAGNE!
I am horrified at how quickly I gained this weight but I am SO HAPPY To have found this site! CUTE PUPS TO EVERYONE who posted pics!

He's so cute! And thats wonderful how it worked out perfectly! You get a sweet little companion and new motivation to get you up and moving. Looks like he's benefiting towards happiness in more ways than one! Good luck

He has the most beautiful eyes! I've tried walking with my dog, but I always wind up carrying him, which doesn't help his weight loss too much. I walk with a friend of mine now, I don't have to carry her hahah
