Im 38 years old leo.. latina mix.. fiery as they come.. I am in the process of freeing myself from a loveless marriage that didnt fullfill me or let me be who I am.. my journey to optimal health has been a long road. starting out at 370 pounds.. I now weigh 177.. I lost half of my starting weight and now I am continiung this journey after maintaining the loss for 7 years.. . I have 42 pounds left to go to my goal of 135.its time to be the person I was meant to be.. its time to start living my life for me.. findingmy happiness from the inside.I am changing my life .

I'm already 30, & it's frightening. I already miss my 20's, but they say the best is yet to come.

Before coming to PEERTrainer, I was a beginner runner, who read that running is the most efficient way to burn fat. I ran on the treadmill for a while @ the gym, but it got too boring. I considered success as running consecutively 20 minutes, but I needed a change. I took my efforts on the road and built up the courage to run a 10K. Through trial and error, persistence and dedication, I ran regularly and just kept at it.

A friend of mine introduced me to this wonderful site August 2007, and I signed up a few days later. After finding groups that were geared towards running and marathons, I've blossomed into what I've really dreamed about: a multi-marathon finisher. Through great friendships I've made within my groups and teams through the years, I've gained much inspiration and am humbled at what I've accomplished thus far.

I've completed my first half marathon in 2007 on Maui and my first full marathon in Honolulu, with a result I wish to forget. With a renew optimism, I began to focus on becoming a full blown endurance athlete and train accordingly. I also had to eat like an endurance athlete, and not just another "dieter". In 2008, I have successfully completed 2 full marathons and 2 half marathons.

2009 was a banner year for me. With such unorthodox enthusiasm for marathons, I have gain membership into the exclusive club called the Marathon Maniacs. I'm sure you'll see any of us in races sporting our signature yellow singlets. Entry into the Marathon Maniacs is a great goal I have accomplished so far. In 2009, I have successfully completed 7 marathons, with special emphasis on Kauai and Maui, which were done 2 weeks apart.

And Chicago and Kansas City - done 6 days apart!!! I survived and looking forward to a fresh crop of marathons in the new year!

I owe PEERTrainer and it's AMAZING members everything for what they have inspired me to do.

Thank you. =)

Hi! I am a 36 yr old woman, Interior Designer, in SF. I've never been skinny nor have I been more than 50 lbs overweight. I have been exercising *hard* on and off through the years, trying to eat right, etc. Last year (2008) was when I weighed my heaviest at 170+ and was fooling myself that I didn't weight as much as I did nor look as heavy as I actually did...until I saw pictures...wake up call! Started working out with a personal trainer...slowly started to see results...motivated to eat the right foods so that I could work out longer/better...and, now, I LOVE to exercise and love to challenge myself....it's just that when things come up in my days, I get thrown off track and exercise (and good food) are the first to be sacrificed. (and, personal trainer is no more...too expensive)
