CONGRATS
I don't run unless I am being chased...and fear for my life LOL
but i love going for walks (which I hear help you lose weight more than running does...but it's all opinion I guess LOL) 200 crunches?? wow...maybe i should try that

that is my most needed area...my lower abs. I am super flabby there

and my thighs. i look pretty good when I am dressed...but in a bikini or naked

not so much LOL
good luck to you!!! I think i will start a "losing weight together" thread...so we can all encourage each other. What do you think????
