My Favorite Quote- "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I have recently lost a lot of weight and running is very new to me (I started running about 2 years ago). I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.

My new weight goal is to have lost 100 pounds. I am quite sure I can get to about 93, but I am not sure about the 100. The weight tracker is tracking my total weight loss.

Thanks Josse- I have to tell you I was cracking myself up pretty good over that one. I needed a good laugh this morning while trying ranting around getting my family ready for church :)

I like this way of keeping the motivation level up. However, I have to say I take issue with #4. Isn't that the whole reason for running :)

From marion on Jul 02, 2008 at 23:28:01

Yes :) but I want to LOSE a bit more weight :( Girls, girls, I know, all we do is whine about weight!
