Chris commented on Jill Mace's blog post Update and Vacation #1"Have a FABULOUS time!!! Happy 15th Anniversary! Enjoy your time away and can't wait to hear all about it!!!"
Chris commented on Dani's blog post Really struggling with night time snacking & hooked on sugar all over again. :-("I've seen articles lately stating that sugar is just as addicting as drugs/alcohol. No kidding! It's just so hard to drop it though. Even if you drop the obvious stuff, it's added to random food you wouldn't…"

Chris commented on Megan's blog post Day 1"Good luck! Sounds like a great way to keep up that motivation! And yes, I feel bad for that woman too. I can't imagine seeing a 15 pound difference."
Chris commented on Jackie's blog post A day off and some new photos"Wow. Just wow. You were pretty at 200 and gorgeous now! I can't imagine how beautiful you'll be when you hit goal. Amazing!"
Jill Mace commented on Chris's blog post Hi"So glad to see you back! I have had some back sliding! I guess was in a slump- and I am climbing my way back out! I am happy you are back so we can continue on the journey together! It is just not the same without you!"
Martha Coffee commented on Chris's blog post Hi"What kind of stuff do you do with the trainer? I'd love to have a few sessions just to sort out what, exactly, I should be doing as far as strength training, but I can't justify the expense right now. Maybe I should find out if the Y near…"
Chris commented on Paula's blog post No Scale This Week"I completely understand the desire to take a break one week from the scale. I do that when I know I had a bad week. I know I had a bad week, I don't need the scale to tell me that. I think it was a good move. You are a…"
Chris commented on Brandy's blog post Working Weekend"Hi! Sorry things are so hectic. I'm glad it's almost over though. Seems like you're holding your own! Keep up the great work!! And woohoo on the house! That must be super exciting! I remember us buying ours,…"
Chris commented on Cindy's blog post good grief - what on earth is happening?!!!"Binges happen. They aren't pretty. They make us feel awful, sometimes even while they are going on. The positive is you are seeing it. You recognize what is going on. You are actively trying to find ways to end it and move…"
Cindy commented on Chris's blog post Hi"It's great to hear from you! I'm glad you're doing well and keeping up with the workouts and a trainer to boot! Awesomeness! It's great to have a trainer who isn't too easy or too impossible.
As for me, there have been…"
Paula commented on Chris's blog post Hi"So glad to see you back Chris. I have also experienced some set backs lately too. Seeing the scale go up, not so much that people are commenting, but I know and that is what matters. It has even sent me to tears, but like you said, we need to…"
Chris posted a blog postHi
So...how ya doin? Everybody doing well? How's your journey going? Having successes? Enjoying the ride? I ask because I'm trying to take attention off the fact that I've been MIA for a while. It wasn't intentional. Well, I suppose it was. In a sense. Had to spend time writing things out and that just wasn't happening lately. Even the blog has been lacking lately. So, what's going on with me? Spending lots of time at the Y trying to get in shape. I get there about 3 days a week. The…See More
Brandy commented on Chris's blog post Tuesday Update (1.24.12)"I read about your hubby cooking dinner and that it probably wasn't healthy, so I was expecting something creamy with a lot of butter, but you didn't even have traditional garlic bread. Awesome! And by the way, I am with the…"
Profile Information
- About Me:
- I've been overweight my whole life, sadly. I've lost and gained my weight multiple times. I graduated college in 1999 and saw the highest number ever and swore I would never go back there. The good news is I haven't. I lost 55 pounds, then regained 25 and have played with that 25 pounds off and on for years. I lost it again last year and am up 10. My ultimate goal is to lose 30 pounds from where I am now.
I'm not a huge fan of exercise, but I do it. I run (not very fast!) and have completed seven 5ks and one 8k. I ran my very first half marathon in February - Disney Princess Half Marathon in 3:21:54. Currently training for a duathlon in June and then hitting the Philly Half Marathon in November.

Positives:
1. Did not cave to the desire for an afternoon snack...or a mid-morning snack for that matter
2. Didn't want to go to the gym tonight. Thought about skipping all afternoon. Only reason I didn't was because I signed up for kickboxing and I know there were people who wanted to come tonight who were shut out. Just 5 minutes into the class I thought, "I'm pretty glad I didn't skip this." :-)
2. Did a 30 minute…

Positives:
1. Survived my 1/2 mile walk to and from work (it snowed here on Saturday and the sidewalks/roads not in the best condition)
2. 35 minute walk with an incline on the treadmill/30 minute stationary bike ride
3. 1st YFit session with a trainer (lower body/cadio)
4. No left hand injuries ;-)…

OK, I know that sounds stupid. But, I am sure you can all agree with me that sometimes it's hard to "see" you've lost weight. I know I lost 20 pounds last year, but I've had a had time really seeing it in me physically.
Well, I compared two photographs of myself from last year wearing the same shirt taken almost on the same day in 2010 and 2011 (turns out it was 1 day apart) and ok, I see the difference...
2010 - Hubby and I on our…

Lynette S said… - Hi Christina, thanks for the comment! Yes this is my first half and I am super excited! I have done a bunch of 5 K's, a 12K and my longest run is a 9 miler. I tried for a half last year but tried to cram the training in and hurt myself so I didn't do it. I'm looking forward to a more leisurely training schedule.

- I love riding my bike. It is a great form of exercise. I wish I could run, but my knees just cry out in pain. It sounds like you have the running marathon thing down cold. Good for you

Megan said… - Hey, thanks for your comment. You're my inspiration, I hope I can do the same thing you did, see that 199 and never see the 200 again.

- When the weather is nice I hit my local bike trail. It is just 10 min from work and I will ride for about an hour or so. Sometimes on the weekends my husband will go with me. I just love it. I had not biked for several years, then for my birthday 4 years ago my husband bought me a nice Cannondale. It has been love ever since. I did jog, but the knees just could not do it. The bike is much kinder to them.

Hannah said… I completely agree, Christina! When I first started WW, I had a wonderful leader!! She no longer has her own meeting, but sometimes fills in. She was SO enthusiastic which made all the difference. The meeting I'm going to now seems pretty upbeat, so I'm happy :-)

Francie said… - Thanks for the nice comment Christina! You will speed up in time, if you want to! I have a fast husband and a competitive streak that has gotten me to push for the faster pace (he does an under 20 minute 5K). Right now, I'm not sure where I would fall, but I have a race or 2 planned for the summer to test myself (none as cool as your preakness one, though!).
