No excuse.....+ my favorite running shoes

[Virkamsh]

wow that looks great!

[kmngalle]

I wanted to comment on one of your videos where you had runners toe. Many distance runners never get it. I suggest , you (if you haven't already) go to a running shoe store that specializes in fitting athletes (beginners, amateurs, and professonals). I made this fatal error and now I can only run short distances because of plantar fascitis. Now I pay close attention to the shoes and the fit. Be careful and Have fun!

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

I went to a store called Fleet Feet yesterday to have my arch and everything else looked at to determine which running shoe I needed. OMG I had planter fascitis a few years back and OUCH! :o(

[kmngalle]

Which shoes? I prefer Brooks myself...

[dragonbabe20]

Amy, I am glad I found you...you are inspiring.The fact that you've slipped a tiny bit is still inspiring. I lost 65lbs in 2001-2and have steadily gained back 40lbs. I think it is MORE DIFFICULT after you've done it successfully before,because we KNOW what we are supposed to be doing,AND there's that "walk of shame" aspect. Also it's not as dramatic-there's not as much support.The hardest for me is getting back to the exercising...hell it's ALL hard.Maybe we can do this together, girl.Waddyasay?

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

Yeah that "walk of shame" will bring us down more bc I end up eating more and more and more when I feel like that. The exercise isn't my problem....its my eating habits. They are sooooo screwed up right now and its hard to turn back around and eat the healthy way again :o( When are you starting?

[dstydream]

Hey Amy, it's another Amy.. I am SO glad to see your videos back again! I am sure that you will get back to where you really want to be and I am SO happy to know that you can share that you have struggled too. I wondered if you just lost it and never looked back and never had one day of struggle and I think that it's great to know that I am not the only one that struggles from time to time and that struggling doesn't mean ya have to give up.. THANKS for that!!!!

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

Yes, I want to have them broken in by the time the race comes around. I plan on buying another pair that are just like the ones I just bought so I can break them both in :o)

[knottmyhair]

Lady your great anyway! So don't hurt yourself...I lost weight off of your video's so look me up on FB so you can see what I'm doing now...I'm hooked on toning. FB is Carol Williams..in Jacksonville Fl. Thanks Amy!

[ladythickythick]

Another option for your shoes that you dont wear anymore is to send them to Haiti... I dont know if there is a Sports Chalet where you live, but if so, I think they are sending sneakers to Haiti for people... you should look into it.

[jmailj]

You are a trip, Amy :) I feel you on the old habits and the "too skinny B4" comments, but you can do it! I'm also addictedto Cafe World so that had me cracking up. Now, I have to learn more about this transmitter business. Thanks for checking in. :)

[blackphd2b]

Hey TEAMmate! So glad you're doing this. I wear Aasics and they've changed my entire running life. Does your chapter have a shoe clinic where you'll get fitted for new shoes (and get discounts on gear)? Mine is coming up and I can't wait.

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

Heeeeey TEAMmate :o) I'm so excited to be part of the team now! Yes, we have a shoe clinic but we haven't had it yet. So far we've just had our GTS's and one kick off meeting. Gotta ask coach when our shoe clinic is. Gosh I wish we were in the same chapter. Which event are you doing again?

[blackphd2b]

I know! Maybe next year we'll do the same race. I'm doing the Indianapolis Mini (One America 500 Festival Half) and maybe the Bayshore Half in Michigan as well. I have a teammate doing San Diego. I'll tell her to look out for you on the course.

[RNtasha75]

I was the same way...I was like a machine. Lost like 40 lbs....and started snacking and lagging in the workout until I just quit and gained it all back....So don't let it get u...get a grip on it now...u can do it!!!Me? I'll just be fat ;)

[themukisa11]

your twists look beautiful! be carefull though.... I had that done a while back and when I took mine out I had a lot of breakage. watch those edges.

[VaZFinest804757]

Deadlifts and good mornings are no joke! you are a beast if you're doing all of that :) and you dont need an excuse, you are a mom, a wife, and a student thats basically 3 full time jobs, you're doing an amazing job with your weight loss journey! you look wonderful and good luck on your re-shrinking.

[UnprettySweety]

You are so silly, I love it. And your vidz are so clear! Just wonderful

[Blakmagic88]

You look soooo pretty!

[NaturalFlyGirl1]

I Also Love Snacking... Have U Tried Changing The Type Of Foods U Snack... There R Plenty Of Substitutions... I Was Addicted To Powdered Donuts, But Back In December I Decided To Stop Eating Them... I Switched To Sliced Apples Drenched In Caramel Sauce... Yuummmy...!!! If U Try It Let Me Know How U Like It...

Good Luck Girlie...

[Sunkissedsugar]

Hey chica, I love your vids. thanks for making me laugh and keeping real with your snacking. I think after the holidays we alllllllll find a hard time getting back on track.  Keep up the good work and wow 4 hours. Goodmorning to you:) Please do not tell others yuh buzness, get where you are comfortable and then they will see the hotness.

[lynnieluve]

Your hair is cute!! I totally understand trying to get back in your "groove" with loosing weight. Cute shoes!!! What kind of insoles are those?

[bonitaglover]

i've never seen a "good morning" so i'ld be interested in seeing what that move is.

[UnperfectisPerfect]

Your hair looks so pretty.

[1feistydst]

yeah, girl, just do you cuz I'm at 130-something and I got dudes telling me that I need to gain weight when I'm trying to get down to 120-something, so I'm trying to do ME cuz I know where I will be happy!

[QueenBALL3R]

You better start snacking on some health nuts then and the exercising is only going to make you hungry.

[joyofbeing2010]

do you boo, i am praying 4u.

[Wifeymaterial82]

I GIVE U 5 STARS JUST FOR HAVING FLY PINK N GREY NIKES, THOSE ARE HOT I LOVE THEM. And ur rite do you because i didnt think you look like a crack head when u were 135, somebody was hating.

[tysmo00ve]

[diamondztreasure]

You should have some kind of contest to give the shoes away...like have subscribers send in why they want to lose weight or a 30-day weight loss challenge & whoever wins, gets the shoes..??

[gottadollface]

[flowers4hunters]

I have watched all your videos straight up, took me about 2 days. And I have to say that I LOVE your energy and soul. You're a fighter and inspire me a lot. /Swedish girl with about 10 kg (~20 pounds?) left to loose

[scarlett24ca]

Hows nursing school going? You look great and keep it up.

[securingmysexy1]

I was supposed to run with them for the PF Chang Rock n Roll Marathon in Phoenix on January 17th, well the half Marathon, but I didn't raise enough to run with them and when I stopped training with them, I fell off with my runnin :( GL to you though, I think its great!

[phatpanda00]

What size are the shoe u dont like they are cute and how much would u want for them?

[phatpanda00]

Love ur hair!! Did u do it urself?

[InsideOut127]

Honestly, I have been eating my way through the last few months. When I was ready (2 weeks ago) I really just had to hurt. All Fruits, Veggies and soups and bed by 8 till my stomach shrank and the cravings went away.

[watchfuleye2008]

Your hair is SO CUTE!!!.. and you are glowing and your skin looks so healthy...cute shoes too!!

[Tinkaoeslady]

Your hair looks nice and I forgot until now that I am supposed to get started working out . Well I did not join the gym or get home equipment but with income tax money i will. Today i will work out for as long as I can with someone on Fittv

[smilergal89]

your hair is purdy, miss diamond girl. Jus do you and whatever makes you feel happy.

[lynmed01]

Try eliminating all junk food for a long while, and only snack on fruits and veggies. You'll soon get used to it. Nice shoes, I think I'm inspired to get Nike shoes with the sensor. Good luck!

[travellady68]

would love to help out by a gift . I lost a brother and sister- in- law to lymphoma,hodgkins disease he died in 1990 at the age of 19. So ups to you and many blessing

[SherLynn40]

Loveeeeee your hair and your new running shoes and who the heck said you looked Crackheadish? No way! You looked amazing. Nice and lean and you worked hard for that look. Do what feels right to you, Amy!!! I am proud of you for getting back into the game.

[babeegurl2k7]

Have you considered that maybe 140 is your ideal body weight? Not as in the body you'd ideally like to have but the weight your body naturally strives for?

If so, it'll be much easier to maintain that weight than getting to a weight smaller than what your body type actually calls for.

I think that's one of the unnecessary causes of eating disorders--ppl trying to maintain sizes that their body is meant to be!

Be whatever size makes you happy though. Either change your body or your attitude.

[laarni1975]

you are funny, you made my morning...

[alesbica]

Your hair is too cute! You're making me want to get rid of my locks haha.

Why pink shoes? ugh!!! Nooooo! haha

[2015ben]

your hair looks gr8!.. you are such a inspiration to me and so much others... i love your personality and honesty... i have lost 7.3lbs in my first two weeks and its only up from here!... thanks so much for everything and i will keep you posted!!!.. snacking is hard for me too... get at the heart of why your snacking so much for me it was boredom in between classes etc.

and you didn't look "crackish" at 130lbs.. you look like a diamond girl!!!!

Thanks again!!!

[blkwoman11]

You should give the nike shox away. Those shoes are so pretty. If you decide to sell them let me know. What size are they?

[LadyDawn1001]

Oops typo correction of not and not nit as I types and pls forgive that ahoes typo I meant to type shoes of course... My bad

[LadyDawn1001]

U mentioned something about nit having to buy the iPod compatiable shoe u could just purchase the clip on instead ... Please explain u were talking so fast I missed what u were saying ... Love yr running shoes... U hv a good sense of style for running ahoes

[smblyther]

I have some Nike+ running as well! I love them!

[TashaG16]

Girl, you look good and your hair is cute.

[TashaG16]

Long kinky twist basically

[N2WinN2010]

What type of camera are you recording on Sis? It's super duper clear.

[jadedpoet82]

Shop for groceries when you aren't hungry and buy food that's good for you but you will realistically eat. I buy a lot of bananas, natural almonds and tostitos hint of lime chips. I believe its white corn but I stock up on fruits and healthy snacks, if there is nothing bad in the house to eat you can't eat it. Now if you are desperate enough to run out to the store anyways to get like a snickers,Houston we have a problem lol.Personally I think you look great but do what makes you happy! :-)

[souljagurlsha]

Awesome, my marathon is on March 21st this is my 3rd one. Congrats girl, u'll do awesome.

[miel001]

YOU have to love how YOU look to YOU!

and you want to get your snacking under control? Get your favorite snack - buy a huge bag, box or what ever the you THINK you like. Sit down and eat the whole bag or box - yep alllll of it! I guarantee you'll not eat any more of it for 6 months. you will not forget how disgusted you felt afterward.

[23leeweegee]

cute!

[xglennis101x]

u should have said I'm in love with my sneakerzz lol Love ur videos ur soo funny!

[blakkandi]

love the shoes. I need to get some. Plus I love pink.

[tjbmom123]

The visual was good, snacking vs. working out. Great shoes girl. Your hair looks great 2, I can't wait 2 get my braids this weekend, yep doin ur hair on a daily basis, even a puff can get old.

[mpenny226]

The hair is so cute. I don't have an excuse either girl. I am so sad with this working out thing. Did you do your hair yourself? What kind of scale do you have? Digital? I think you look great but hey..you have to be satisfied with you. Keep going!

[eyecuqqn]

Amy, you look absolutely great the way you are! You didn't look "crackish", but I like the size you are now. The only thing you probably need is to tone up a bit, otherwise.. you're perfect!

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

Thanks :o)

[LadiiOri]

Do Weigh in Wednesdays again! I need some new running sneakers mine are about a year old. where can I get that ipod transmitter? Oh today I did my weigh in weds and I am down 4.2 lbs this week.

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

I haven't done a weigh in Wednesday for so long that it wouldnt feel right! lol I have to save my weekdays / nights for school work so it feels much better doing it on the weekend :o/ I have classes everyday this semester (during the day).

4.2 lbs!!!! Dang gurl! I need to sew my mouth shut or cut my hands off to keep them out of the cookie jar!

[Ngoziism]

Glad to see you post a video. I looked for you Sat. You gave me inspiration from your Watch me shrink videos. I started 4 weeks ago, I've lost 6 lbs. but I'm not giving up. I got 19 lbs. to go. Bless you, and run on sister, run on. Oh yea, you can send me those aluminum foil sneakers too ; )

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

[jinjer26]

"second time around is so hard"

So true...I've lost weight twice before...really easily....but for the past 4yrs I've been losing the battle...I've gained a tremendous amt that I NEED to lose and it's been sooo hard to get started and stick to it....I'll start...lose....and then regain faster than you can say gain :(

[Smile2DayTears2Morro]

I need to quit buying snacks for the house :o(

[lit26]

You worked out hard!!! in the gym! Just remember where you were in the past but your doing awesom and no matter how you looked t 130 you were healthy!!
