Terri:

I apologize if I have offended you in any way by posting about my

running. I have to disagree with you, though. I think posts about

exercise and having a fit lifestyle VERY MUCH belong on this board.

For me, my weight loss success isn't just about the food I put or

don't put in my body, it is also about being active. For me

personally, living a healthy lifestyle incorporates exercise. It is

because of WW and my weight loss that I am able to do things with

this body I never thought were possible before. When I've posted

about being able to run a race, it is not with the intent to be

competitive or off-topic, but rather to share my " celebrations " with

my support group, and hopefully (as others have done for me), inspire

someone out there to reach for their own weight loss or fitness goals.
