  • I have a thyroid auto-immune disease so I need all the help/motivation I can get to lose weight. My workout consists of walking and new sneakers and workout shorts would sure come in handy!
  • I'm running my first full marathon in October this year (I did the half last year), but I haven't gotten new running shoes since the summer before my half marathon.  Needless to say, my feet and knees have been feeling it.  I wish I could afford to buy myself a new pair, but for now that's a luxury we can't swing.
  • I've had my current shoes for about 6 months, and I'm currently training for my second 5k (in September) and a 10k (on Halloween, a few weeks after my wedding). I'm definitely starting to lose the cushioning in my Brooks, and I would love a new pair of shoes to finish up my training and run my races!

  • Like many of the other brides, NB are my favorite.  I have worn out two pairs of sneakers trying to get back into shape and still have 50+ pounds to go.  My goal is to have to buy a new dress because they can't take mine in enough. 

    If I win these shoes, they will be going down the aisle with me as my something "new"....

  • I desperately need a new pair of running shoes... I've had to stop running because the old, worn out shoes I have completely messed up my knee. The pain is finally gone after a few monts, but it still clicks and grinds when I go up stairs. There's no money in the budget for a new pair of shoes, and I really, really, miss my runs around the lake.

  • i need a pair of shoes that don't have 4" heels so I can lose the baby weight (and everything else I packed on since my wedding.. ok, since college.)
  • I am trying to lose a few lbs before my big day and I could definitely use a new pair of shoes. We are so broke from all of our wedding expense that I only have an old pair of gym shoes, so I know a new pair would make a world of difference!
  • After struggling with shin splints and calf issues for years, I tried my first pair of NBs a few months ago and I LOVE THEM.  My first pain free run was the best thing ever, and I'd love to try some more NBs so I can finally reach my goal of running a half marathon.

  • I would like to win because i am trying to lose weight and i either sit all day in front of a computer for school but when i get home im busy and i can wear those and help lose and tone up

  • This is a great giveaway! I only wear new balance sneakers, they are the best for your feet for going for walks and runs. I can walk or run as much as I want in NB b/c they fit feet perfectly!

  • I'm getting married next Spring and could really use some shaping up in the mean time and new gym shoes that aren't worn out and old woud defitniely help.  I have odd feet and New Balance and Asics are literally the only gym shoes that I can wear that do not hurt my feet somehow (heel or arch pain, toe blisters, etc) of course neither of these brands are cheap and I'm on a really tight budget so I look for them in the clearance racks at DSW occasionally but they never seem to have my size.

    In conclusion, I would absolutely LOVE to have these shoes (and the shorts too but mostly the shoes).

    Thanks to TK and those who posted this for us to see!   Good Luck Everyone!

    I love New Balance shoes!  They give loads of support and they are long lasting.  I have been looking for the perfect pair of running shoes to motivate me to start training for a half marathon.  These shoes would be the perfect incentive to get running!  They would style nicely with the cute shorts and a sporty top.  I can feel the honeymoon pounds already starting to shed :)

  • I love NB shoes! They were my first pair years ago, and I would love to have a new pair!

  • i would be super thrilled to win some shoes, especially since the fiance and i are footing the bill for the wedding, and are trying to buy a house at the same time.  needless to say the "fitness apparel" segment of my budget is at 0 and i've been working out in my pjs lately! i should also mention that i just took a second job as my fiance's personal drill sergeant, trying to get him back in shape (he was a college athlete) since he's been inactive in the past few years, and i worry about his family history of heart disease. but if i go running - he'll go running (thank god!) :]

  • Love contests! New sneakers would be so good for me right now and my ver bad ankles lol. Good luck everyone!
  • My sneakers are looking mooolllldddyyyy. I could definitely use a replacement!
  • I just found out my crp levels are high so it's back to the gym for me.  And new shoes would be AWESOME!

    Fantastic!  I'm in! I could use some new gear!  I need the extra motivation to continue to lose weight for my wedding!  It would be super helpful!
  • I am definitely in need of new shoes.  Would help with my running since lately my back has been a PITA.  Really enjoying working out and who doesn't like new shoes!  :)

  • I would love a new pair of sneakers! I am deep into getting my body wedding ready. Plus, I gotta show my Marine man that I can work out just as well as he can. :D

  • This is going to sound strange but I think a big reason I don't like working out is that I don't feel cute doing it. Generally I am wearing old beat up shoes, baggy, unmatching clothes, and no makeup! There is nothing like a new pair of shoes to get you excited and feeling good! Great giveaway!
  • These would be perfect for my new fitness regimen which now has been expanded to include running... which would be made a lot easier if I wasn't wearing converse sneakers. Not the most comfortable shoes for endurance training.
  • I am getting married on 10/10/10 and right now feel as if I am in the best shape of my life. My fiance and I love to run and work out together but just recently I've been noticing that my sneakers are falling apart. Since I am still trying to buy my wedding dress and I am a bride on a budget, I can defintely use a new pair....especially NEW BALANCE!

  • I ran my first half marathon last October (at 218lbs!) and inspired my dad to get in shape and do the half marathon with me this year. My dad has lost 40lbs and he's super excited for this coming October...except my shoes are dead and I have used it as an excuse to stop training and be lazy. I need to get back to hitting the pavement before the half marathon in October so I can continue to inspire my dad!
  • No only have I been trying to loose weight for the past year for health reasons as well as for looking my best on my big day but I'm also the MOH in one of my best friend's wedding that will take place before mine.
    I love NB shoes and I tend to stick with NB when buying running/walking shoes. These would help me in my exercise routine consisting of bycyling with the FI and going to the gym.
    Please pick me! :o)

  • I would love new shoes and shorts! My goal is to be able to run next year's 5K Race for the Cure without stopping (this year's time: 40 minutes), and having new shoes for my severely flat feet would make a huge difference.
  • i'd love some new gear, but especially new shoes! I learned to write the date I bought my shoes inside my insole so that you can track approximately how many km or days you have had your shoes and when it is time to replace them. I am well beyond the replacement date and would love to have these New Balances! also NB is the only brand that doesnt give me blisters!

  • Great contest! I wear New Balance shoes to work out in now and desperately need a new pair and I've worn my current ones out. My fiancee and I both recently lost our jobs and with the wedding only 4 months away, we cannot afford to splurge on new runners for me :(

  • What a wonderful treat!

    As Knot Annie knows, the DW board is having its own weight loss challenge. Our oh-so-thoughtful "Board Mom" Catalina Island is administering the whole thing, complete with a blog where the weekly challenges are posted and where we can all blog about our progress.

    One of the challenges this week is to begin a 9 week program where we work towards building our stamina up to run 5k at the end. I'm very excited for this challenge and so grateful for the motivation and support, but the one area in which I'm always lacking, when it comes to working out, is the gear! This would be an awesome prize to use for the challenges!
