That's awesome! I have taken your advise and decided to step off the scale for a while. Need to stop obessing bc it seems stupid after a while :) A little break is definately necessary. Nice, also, on the running. I'm trying to get there myself.

i think the scale break has allowed me to focus more on how i look and feel and stay motivated... i mean literally anything affected my weight.. i could have eaten a salad for dinner and been up... then eaten a steak and gone down.. there's no telling.. i was sad to have to reflect the increase... and it screwed with my head a bit at first.. but since i've been off of it i've been really focused on my physical appearance and my fitness.. its really helped.. i almost DON'T want to weigh in..but i think i need to lol

It's good to be in tune with your body and not have to rely on tools and instruments to gauge your success. The feeling of more energy and improvement in the mirror is definitely good enough for me! As for running, I hear ya! I used to SUCK HORRIBLY at running. I'd lumber along like a dumptruck. For work, my run is a component in fitness evals, so I kept telling myself that the only way to get better at running is to practice. So I went to the extreme and started running up hills. Haha. Good gains there ;) So keep it up! You'll get that 10 minute mile in no time!

@cjt that is def motivating... and based on my little run tracker i use i am technically running some of my morning jog at that speed, however its about keeping it up for the whole mile lol... the interval workout i created for myself has really kept me pushing... i feel if i keep those up i may see a better time... we will see!..thanks again for ur words tho... u have no idea how much it helps me push when i wanna quit!
