Evening Ladies,
I just signed up for a 10K run in June with my DD. She will be using this race for her corral placement for the 1/2 Marathon in Janaury - I'm running it just for the experience - I will do another 10K in October for placement. I'm so excited - weight loss goals aside, I'm really this new found hobby of mine.
Wow - I am impressed you are even thinking corral placement!!! I think 10Ks are a great distance and I am planning on one this summer. I have decided I want to do another half...I am thinking about the Princess next year but DH is currently unemployed so I need him to find a job before I make a decision!
I weighed in tonight for my 1st week, I lost 5.4lbs. Yay!! I know weeks from now on will be much smaller losses, but I am really excited for this start!!
You should be excited!!
hey guys, long time lurker. i started weight watchers on january 3rd of this year, and so far have lost 36 pounds. i know thats super awesome, but today was my weigh in day and i had no loss. no gain, yay! but no loss. and i know ive been doing well but im kinda bummed out. any tips for me in case ive already hit a plateau that i need to work through? thanks!
Hello!! I just started on WW again and so I haven't hit a plateau this time but I can tell you that in the past when I hit one...I have quit. And look where that got me...back to fatter than before and starting my weight loss journey...again!! So stick with it. Do you watch Biggest Loser - one of the girls hit a wall and was not losing much and one week she decided to work harder and at the weigh-in she said in the past she would turn around when she hit the wall and quit trying but this time she decided to just knock the wall down. So I think that is what you have to do...stick in here and it will help you stay motivated and not run away from the wall!!!
Here are the tips from the WW website:
Five ways to tip the scale
The good news: Whether the cause is behavioral, physiological or both, there are steps you can take to move past a plateau. First, strengthen your resolve to keep losing, then:
1. Increase your physical activity
This may be the best way to get the weight off, according to experts. Look for simple ways to get more activity in: Take the family (or the dog) for an afternoon walk. Park the car farther away, or get off the bus a stop or two away from your destination.
2. Eat right and write
Research has shown that people routinely underestimate the number of calories they consume daily. Keep track of what you eat. Enjoy seeing that you've stayed within your PointsPlus Target.
3. Eat fruits and vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are loaded with a variety of vitamin and minerals and are typically low in calories. Including them at meal time will help keep you satisfied and contribute to your health.
4. Spice things up
Forgo your usual turkey on rye for a more exotic water-packed tuna with dill and lemon juice on toasted pita bread. This might stimulate your taste buds enough to keep you satisfied.
5. Get busy
Join an after-work volleyball league, attend art openings or just chase your kids around outside. The less you're in the kitchen, the less tempted you'll be to eat.
these bars!!! They are very good and the price is so much cheaper than the WW bars sold at the meeting! My DD likes them too! She is always eating the extra one I carry in my purse for emergencies! The special K pretzel bars are so yummy too!
I have a question...
awesome!! You are doing so well with your running! 
I keep thinking about doing a 1/2 marathon then I think there's no way I'll be able to hold it that whole time
They have port a potties along the way!! I made the mistake in my 1st half of stopping to use one at mile one....the lines were 5 people deep. There was another one at mile 2 - they are spread out pretty well along the course and you really shouldn't have a problem finding one to use. 
thank God! Cuz I would never make it the whole way

oh my....
guess that's why the suggest having tissues and hand sanitizer with you!
about wetting themselves - no way!!
