What a great forum! I've been reading through it for a few days and am quite impressed with the support, accomplishments and goals shared. You all rock!I'm 42 and have had weight issues all my adult life. I've tried various plans, but find that as soon as I commit to a plan, my rebellious side comes screaming out.
Right now, all I feel I can do is make the best choice I can in any given moment. That means some moments will be fantastic and some will be...well, maybe not so fantastic. Recently, I had an incredibly weird experience. An overwhelming urge to get outside and move came over me. I asked my daughter (a marathoner)
to go with me in case I couldn't make it back...asked her to gently drag me back home or at the least mark the spot I went down and go for help. 
Both my daughter and husband joined me on my little trek. I walked for 3 minutes, then ran for 30 seconds.
And I did it again. And again. While we were out, three deer jumped across the road in front of us. We must have been a sight because one deer came back and had the nerve to walk toward us to get a better look! Rude deer!!
Good news...I was able to do this cycle 6 times...and did not die!! Yipeee!!!!!!!!!!!!
The weird part is I really, really enjoyed it!Thank you to all who have posted on this forum and to all who read but can't post. I appreciate knowing I'm not the only one wrestling with this challenge.
Wishing you all a fabulous weekend!
with your goal! It sounds like you are really motivated with your walking/jogging. Congrats!
