I Did It, Y'all!
Today I needed only 0.4 to break 180, and I lost 1.4! Yay!
With today's loss I have also finally fallen out of the ranks of the obese -- I am now clinically overweight with a BMI of 29.6! I think I am more excited about this than I was about breaking 200 in December!
Yesterday I bought my first pair of size 12 jeans in over 20 years. (Yes, they're stretch, but so what? It's quite a massage to the ego.)
Everyone have a great day!

Okay, here I go again! I joined ww for the second time today! I have faith that I will stick to the program this time and hopefully I will have some good news by the time of my next weigh in (next monday). Congrats to everyone for their success so far. Much kudos to BabyBlue for leaving the obesity club. I'm determined I'm on my way out too girl!

I'm going to my TNT meeting on May 5th.
I've been walking longer and faster on my own since I made the decision. Now, I have shin plins or what ever you call them. I need to give a rest for a few days.
I'm also down 1 pound this past week. 13 total. 25 more to go.

Shin Splints
I ran track for YEARS growing up and the secret to shin splints is.....
walk at least half the distance backwards that you walk forwards.
Now I know you're saying, "who the heck has time to do that?" And I agree, but I found even walking one lap backwards (1/4 mile) after workout would help prevent them.

Interesting...I have to run in the morning and I have really bad shin splints, so I'll give that a try. Thanks!

thanks Soror. I'll try walking backward also. If you hear a holla tomorrow morning, that's me rolling my behind of the treadmill. But I'll give it a try.

BabyBlue91, you're my new inspiration and so are you Ideal08. I've been reading over this thread and how you two have lost the weight and all I gotta say is shake the haters off and keep going. I've been really paying attention to yours, Ideal08 because we have similar body types.
