losingjust- sorry that your runs have been giving you a hard time. You have a lot of time before may, so take it slow so you don't get injured. I feel for you. I can tell how bad you want this and how dedicated you are.

yeaah kaydot for finishing week 2! Good for you. I'm still loving couch to 5k too!

you inspired me to start running. I am doing the couch to 5k program, I'm on week 4. As i've told you before, you and I are the same height, and I'm a similiar body type, just a regular hourglass, so you have my dream body!! I can't wait to feel like you do about my body.

wow! all i can say is wow! I am shaped just like you and If a dr. can cut all that away then I am all about it! I think i'll schedule my consult when i get down to 160! 25more lbs to go. My goal is 140, but maybe without my giant tummy it'll push me closer to that.

completed week 4 workout 1. was a bit scared, but I slowed it down like ljm said. I ran 4.5 until the last 5min run and I ran that at 6.0 and it felt so good! Ofcourse, I was purple and out of breath. Running at 4.5 is pretty easy, I felt like i could go and go and go. so I think I'll stick with 4.5 this week with a zero incline to let me shins get more rest. They are still hurting! Good job everyone. I peeked at week 5, and OH MY GOODNESS, I don't know if I will be able to do it, but i didn't think i could run 5 minutes either. so we shall see.

boo boo! love the red hair. I've been going redder myself. Red is in!! Mine is a bit darker right now than yours is, I'm hoping it will fade more. I can see your teeny tiny waist! love it. I finished workout 1 week 4, couch to 5k! I went to the gym at 9:30pm to get my run in for the day. I must say, I am pretty proud of myself, the old me would have stayed home and had chocolate. I went shopping today for a few odds and ends that we need for our trip and I tried on a few sweaters and I had to buy them in Mediums. I think I can officially say that I wear a medium on top! I now have more Ms than Ls in my closet for tops. yes! My layering tanks are all Ls and they are huge on the bottoms. Happy veterens day girls! We decided to be patriotic and see where General Patton is buried. He is buried 30 minutes from here in Luxembourg, pretty cool.

yes i run at an incline of 3, today i only did 1. do you think is should take the incline to zeor? I really don't want to give up running again. I am loving it.

i haven't seen the chocolate fountain commercial, but I was wondering if the girl looked anything like me? See I was doing exactly the same thing at my chocolate fountain night!

week 3 done! Can't wait for week 4. Anyone else having issues with shin splints? I only run on the treadmill. Today i did my 3minute run at 5.8 and forgot i set it there and was burgundy in color and so out of breath and when i went to set it back to 3.8 i saw that i was still on 5.8!! too fast, I think i'll stick to 5.2-5.5.

<p>brandi!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP! GIRL!</p> I would not have recognized you at all man! You look so freaking hot. Ok sexy goth looks amazing on you! Love those legs, you need to show them off more often. chocolate Marine is going to have a hard time not cashing in on an on leave booty call! lol. YOu could totally be pulling off minis! Couch to 5kers!---- week 3 complete. I ran my last run today at 5.5mph. unfortunately, I have shin splints again. I have no idea how this happened. My shins are killing and my ankles are huge. I took it slow this time, followed the rules to a T. what's up with this shins? Maybe I'm not supposed to be a runner. But week 4 here I come! I can't wait. The snow didn't stick here, thankfully. I'm looking foward to our trip next week, I'm hoping for snow so we can ski. Boo Boo- YOu made it to an 8! I thought we were doing it together! YOu totally out did me. J/K. I'm happy for you. That is so awsome. Flaunt it girl. I love a nice suit myself. baby- YOu look so so good! I can't wait to be there too! Kay- Hope you are having fun in Vegas!

ok, so we are Mormon and when it comes up in conversation we people always assume my husband has more than one wife! I have never met a Mormon with more than one wife! I have never met anyone with more than one wife for that matter.

I've gone from a 42D to a 38 D so far, i am hoping for a 34C. I would love that. Jachut, i hear ya on the wide bands lol! with the right bra, it looks as though i have zero back fat, but i got a new 38 d with only 2 hooks on it, and if it is not sitting in the right spot then the fat spills over. lol. It's hard to find a 38 D with a wider band! at least over here in Germany.

you are right, we are supposed to love others, as Christ loves us. After someone has wronged us, it's hard to have the same feelings for them as before. You can love someone as a person, or as a child of God and not be their best friend. Again, not easy, and may require much prayer. It won't happen overnight, but it will happen. WE were never promised by Heavenly Father that this test, this time we have on Earth would be easy, but we are promised it will be worth it. Each and every trial is a test. The ones that wrong you are just people, imperfect also being tested. Keep that in mind, most people don't like to hurt others, it just happens. Love them fellow brothers and sisters in Christ, it will get easier.

oh my goodness! I so want to do that! I wish I could. I am from the Tampa area but living in Germany, so there isn't a guarantee that I could be home by then. I see you have till april to register so mabe i'll keep running and see where I am by then and see if i can arrange a trip home. I am loving couch to 5k!!!!!

claud- I love how you took that negative comment from a nasty jerk and turned it into a positive! By the way, you know you are smokin' hot, not ugly at all! Of course he knew that, that is why he kept calling. If you were ugly he wouldn't have bothered. Go girl! Heartbreaker already. tomorrow, workout 3 of week 3! Can't wait. Can you believe it may snow this weekend. Oh how i hate the cold!

so as another "Christian" point of view, here is mine, and I haven't read the replies so forgive me if I repeat, and then please forget. J/K So i recently taught a lesson at church on this very subject. And I will only give you this opinion because you are a Christian too, otherwise I wouldn't. In the Bible it says that if we do not forgive then we are the one with the greater sin. It says that we will not be forgiven if we cannot forgive. As far as forgiving and forgetting, I think that to be realistic, if the action against you was very very deep and painful, say your spouse cheating on you, or someone tries to kill you, then no, you will not forget. how ever, forgetting can mean that when you have chosen to forgive that person, really forgive them, you are agreeing that you will never bring the wrong up again, not use it against them and not try to get revenge in any way. You have forgotten that action against you. Forgiveness is not an easy task, but it is a necessary one for our salvation and sometimes it requires much prayer. I know that for a while I held a lot of resentment towards a particular person, and didn't think I should forgive until they apologized. After teaching this lesson I realized I was the one in the greater wrong here and decided to let it all go, tell them that I forgive them. After all it was my life that was being destroyed, I was the one walking around mad all the time, seething, plotting ect. They were waltzing around like nothing ever happened, I only punished myself with that attitude. Is your pride worth your peace? Mine was not. And honestly now 6 or 7 mo. later, I can't even remember all those details that were so important to me then. So, I am actually beginning to forget!

workout 2 week 3 down, couch to 5kers!!!

oh my goodness brandi!!! You are a runner! wow. that is amazing,all this work has paid off for you! you go girl. enjoy that chocolate covered marine! There is totally no harm in adding peanut butter to the mix! go for it. yummmy. Make sure he starts off in his uniform. Marines do have the best uniforms.

chocolate fountain was amazing!!! just had to share. this is what what around it, strawberrys bannanas pretzels, graham crackers cookies cherries marshmellows pound cake german biscuit cookie things that are deeelish. i had a bit of everything! and yum yum yum. 2 fountains, one dark chocolate one milk. I'm thinking about having me some dark chocolate covered Staff Sergeant Airman tonight! j/k. he would love it though. I'm tired and full.

Nat that is awsome! way to go on the knees and coat. I too had to buy a new coat this year. the one I couldn't zip last year 2x, is now big enough for two of me. I downgraded to a L.

nikki- how about a little chocolate covered marine? that sounds yummy. of course I have my own military hunk. he has gained almost as much as i've lost though! he needs to lose about 50lbs. He eats all my leftovers. and the kids'.

wow delta!! that is amazing. I also want to run in a marathon! It's been in my goal notebook for a few years now. I am loving couch to 5k! did week 3 workout 1 yesterday and made it through, it was easier than i expected, but it did kick my butt a bit. I was sweating and my face was burgandy. Is running on an incline of 3 too much? this is what i do, so those of you that are ahead of me tell me if this is too much for too little. brisk walk pace = 3.5-3.8 run pace =5.0-5.5 incline 3.0 it still ends up being just under 2miles. what's up with that? Does everyone else only run 2 miles too? Kaydot my girl! You are awsome!

steph- you and I are so much alike in the food dept! I could never stay away from chips with onion dip or chips with cheese dip, or any dip for that matter. And I cannot not not stay away from chocolate fountain. no way! Oh well. so i started week 3 of couch to 5k and it was a bit harder! But i finished and it felt awsome. It was also a lot shorter than I expected, it went by so quickly. It is also quite cold here too, and it's snowing already wehre we are going for thanksgiving! I'm hoping to ski. Do you think 2 1/2 years old is too little for a bunny slope? I can't imagine my baby on skis but a lot of friends seem to think that they can learn to ski at that age! what do you guys think? My hubby is a big scaredy cat so i'll probably have him take the girls sledding while I ski with my friend. He would love to do that so he doesn't look like a big baby in front of everyone. nat. congrats on the reg. 16s! I remember i was in old navy freaking out when i slipped on a pair. The sales lady was laughing, i was like, send back the 18s! I only want 16s!! so she is on her head set cancelling out my previous request and saying, no no no, she said only 16s! do not bring 18s in this fitting room. lol. my sister was dying, rolling on the floor. va- your doing awsome on your weightloss. Just keep plugging along, like me. I'm a very very slow loser. My body loves being chubby. steph- the nail story is hilarious. I was laughing. I can just picture it. Kind of like the soup nazi from seinfeld. No nails for you!!! Where you go? brandi- ooh hot marine? sounds yummy. Maybe you could just humor him and let him take you out, you never know, maybe he is a really great guy that you'll want to stay friends with. Military life is a difficult one, I can't imagine having a marine boyfriend at a distance! Infidelity is the norm, it's hard for the guys to resist, it's sort of like their culture. So so so so many of my friends husbands have cheated while away. it's just crazy, i was shocked to know how prevalent it is. Also, the road to alcoholism is pretty easy too. The "regular" guy gets drunk 5-6x a week, it's what they talk about most and can't seem to go anywhere if there isn't booze present. Even at a family picinic that started at noon had 2 kegs!! I was mortified. And they wonder why there are 2 or 3 dui's a week on this teeny tiny base! Ok enough about that. I'm not saying he is that type of guy at all, my hubby is military and exactly opposite. so there are some quality guys, but like you said, the distance thing could be bad. good luck and enjoy the date anyway. ok, so i'm salivating at the thought of chocolate fountain tonight. How many times have I spoken of this chocolate? I am pure evil.

happy sunday ladies! I find the sports rants hilarious by the way! I myself cheer for Patriots and TB Bucs. I am from New England originally but claim TB as home. So that's my reasoning, lol. I don't really watch the game anyway though. so i'm still eating like a cow, had oreos for Breakfast, garlic bread for lunch and 3 fun size snickers and then broccoli and steak for dinner. what is wrong with this fat girl! don't know. But i am back on track tomorrow! I am. other than tuesday night, I don't think I can resist chocolate fountain. Maybe if I don't eat all day tuesday, I'll save calories for chocolate fountain? good reasoning? see how i justify? Nikki-congrats on the upcoming baby boy! I'm sure you won't gain a ton of weight judging by what you gained before. i actually lose weight while preggo too. Its after the baby is born I gain a ton. booboo- yeah for you getting Betty back! brandi- how's life? feeling any better yet? annie- Holy crap! 150s?????? woahh!!! congrats to you! I would so be scheduling my TT if I was in the 150s. Nat- I feel exactly as you do without sugar. Sugar is also my pimp, him and I are great buddies, but he sure does have control over me and I just can't seem to let him go. even though I want a size 8 so badly. kaydot- I looked on 24 hr. fitness and BB was 324? where is it on sale? I need one so bad! are you ready for another week of couch to 5k girls? I am so pumped for week 3! I am very excited for it. I actually want to go tonight to start but that would throw off my entire week because of the resting day. we are getting ready to go away for a week for thanksgiving and thankfully the resort has a gym in it so I can keep up with my running. I just have to be motivated to leave all the food and get in the gym! I worked a size 12 skirt again today and felt amazing in it. I was worried that it wouldn't fit after the week i had but it fit better than when i tried it on last. I seriously have zero church clothes, everything is in an 18! I was going through screaming this morning because i have nothing. Luckily i remembered that skirt and wore it with size M shirt from express that my friend just gave me. I wish i had taken a pic because i think I looked darn cute! I just love dressing up. I can't wait for my sexy new boots to get here in the mail.

yeahh kaydot!! week 1 almost done! I just finished week 2. I am so excited to start week 3! steph you can do it!! Ok, so i had the most awful week of eating! the worst ever, even worse than preband. In the past 3 hours i've had 10 oreos! and my freaking stomach is growling! I'm starving. I had pizza and nuggets today, and a glass of whole milk. and a ton of candy! I am going to get back on track here this weekend. But tuesday night my girlfriends are having a chocolate night. 2 chocolate fountains, one regular, one dark. I have to go, it's a church thing which I am in the presidency so I can't miss it. I really love chocolate and especially when it's coming off of a fountain. I am having dreams about it already. The fat girl in me still lives!!!! So my hubby says I can get a body bugg if i want to, however, we are broker right now with all these trips planned. I want it so bad but don't know if I should go for it. we still have to get the kids Christmas gifts too. This modest military pay is really really being stretched. the crappy part is that I saved for all these trips then both cars needed over 2k in repairs this past month and then my Money sucking whore of a rental property we have needed 4k in repairs!. So that pretty much sucked my emergency fund dry. Have a great weekend. check in with me couch to 5k girls! We are going to be running marathons! love it.
