The Imp Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Wow, this place is a lot to take in. All wicked cool, though! Hi! I'm Sarah (or Imp, either works). I hail from greater Boston and am part of this crazy running community here. In fact, I just joined the Half Fanatics yesterday... because I'm nuts. Anyway, I am down about 40 pounds in the last 18 months, with about 40 left to go. Aside from running I am a big Body Pump (or whatever variation they want to call it this week) fan. I also am the leader of a weight-loss group elsewhere. Which is why I'm here. Over there I have to be "on" all the time, which is fine - it's what I signed up for - but I really need a place to focus on ME! I have another 40-60 lbs. to lose, though really I am more focused on being FIT than what the scale says. I want to be a stronger runner and an all around healthy person. Before I started down this path I was on the verge of diabetes, I had high blood pressure (at 19! seriously...) and with my family history I was in trouble. At 34 I'm far healthier than I ever was in my 20s, so I want to keep going! I'm also a hiker, but it's kicking my butt! So I want to work on gaining strength for hiking as well. Anyway, that's me. The rest is boring - desk job, etc - and I'm looking forward to searching through all this great information!~Imp Link to comment
