Hi again, I haven't posted or read any threads on rec.running in the past few months because I got tired of the trolls. But I wanted to post my progress so all of you that helped me in the beginning will know that I did not quit. In case you don't remember I lost over 240 pounds in the last couple of years and started running in December last year.
My fist 5K race I ran in 29:58 last January.
Here are my current bests:
5K - 23:52
4M - 32:32
10K - 50:59
10M - 1:25:07
I have my half marathon coming up on Dec 16 in Jacksonville and I am going to do a second on Jan 6.
I did decide to run the Disney World marathon in Jan 2009.
Thanks again for your help and encouragement when I needed it most.

Major Congratulations on the weight loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For general interest, was your approach only exercise or exercise and some daily change to eating habits. Are you finished losing weigth? We don't want to find that a stiff wind blew you off the marathon course.

Thanks, I am done losing weight, 188 pounds sounds just about right to me and I have maintained it now for about 4 months.
I lost the majority of my weight by changing my eating habits I did a little exercise, but the eating is what did it. Since I have started running I have lost about 35 more pounds while eating about the same, though I do eat more before, during, and after runs.
