Comment on Thinking About My Workout Plan Leading Into My 50th Birthday by Steve

Good for you tippismom! Take it easy at first. Remember, any exercise is better than no exercise.

Yes, I lost the weight first before I started to run and to get back to the gym on a regular basis.

I am a firm believer that there’s a difference between being thin and being fit.

When I lost all the weight, through WW, I was very skinny. (So much so that family members were starting to get on my case.) But, I could not run for more than 60 seconds without being out of breath. Meanwhile, a friend of mine, who is at least 40 pounds overweight, went out and ran the NYC Marathon.

See the difference between being thin and fit?

So, I decided that it was time to get into better shape. And, that’s when I started.

And, by the way, it’s much easier to exercise without carrying the 60-70 pounds that I used to have on me!

Good luck again – and thanks for the birthday wishes.

Hi Steve. Yes, you inspire. Actually, so much so, that I signed up for a year at the gym this am. I haven’t exercised my entire life, so this will be an experience. It would be nice if I could look at the gym as you appear to look at your routine. Had you lost all your weight before you trained to run? BTW, wishing you a happy upcoming 50th!

Hi there. Just ran across your site and wanted to mention how inspiring it is. I’m 54/female who has lost 62 pounds in less than 6 months on WW, with approximately 30 or so to go. I’ll be checking back here on a regular basis. THANKS!

Always good to hear from a BCBer!

Congrats on getting started and doing a quarter-mile. It all starts somewhere!

Best of luck with the WW journey. You know you can do it – because you already have! Now it’s just a matter of sticking with it. Take it one day at a time, and you will get it done.

I decided a few weeks ago I would be a runner too- yesterday I ran my first 1/4 mile without stopping. My weight loss story is similar to yours as far as the busting ass/starving bit then gaining it back goes… plus a year long go at WW where I lost 64 pounds, then went off program and gained it al(most) all back a few years later. Now I’m starting over, blogging it, and exercising 5 to 6 days a week and working on being a runner!

P.s. I found you via an old BCB forum post.
