I weighed 230 pounds just 4 months ago. A friend of mine at work talked me into running. I started off walking and gradually moved into running. I started off running 3 miles and now I run any where from 8 to 10 miles per day. A lot of people warn against running every day but I cant stand going a single day without running. Now, 4 months later I weigh 149 pounds after my morning runs. I eat what I want, when I want. My knee’s hurt now and then but not bad, a little pain is well worth the benefits that running gives. Both physically and mentally. If you want to lose weight start a running program and stick with it. If you get discouraged and stop just start up again. I am now training for a marathon in October. My weight loss is no longer a concern for me so I focus on my running now. If you want to learn more about running go to your local library and check out some books on it. It is a very inexpensive hobby, a pair of good running shoes and your set. And you WILL LOSE WEIGHT with out silly diet pills and eating gross food. So good running friends.
Next Story My daughter's therapist told me in July 2005 that I had to have gastric bypass because my weight was affecting my daughter's self esteem. I will never forget the words she said " and let's face it honey, at your age, diet and exercise is just NOT going to cut it." I decided to prove her wrong. I started walking. I walked in the park at least 4 times a week. I could barely make it very far at first. I doubt I was even able to do half a mile. Heck, I could barely walk the mall with my daughter without getting exhausted. That was 6 months ago. I have lost 56lbs. I have walked in 3 5K's and I am about to do my first 2mile run. I plan to do a 1/2 marathon in November 2006 I am woman, 46 years old and I started training at a weight of 350lbs. If I can do it - anyone can!!!
