  • I would love to win these new shoes - I'm not sure my two-year-old pair can take me down 60 more pounds to my goal!!  I've already lost 30, so here's to the rest!
  • Though my future hubby loves me the way I am, I'm ready to rock my wedding in a slimmer, healthier body! I'm going to join a gym after this month. I need the right shoes.. my current sneakers are very uncomfortable and I've had them for three years!

  • I have been looking for shoes like those so I could go on runs with my fiance (who is in the National Guard) and I can't keep up because of the painful shoes I have.  Then we would be in shape and feel great on our wedding day!!
  • OMG! I want them so bad! Need to train for marathon. I currently own my 15 year old sisters old sneakers. Frown
  • I hope to drop 10 percent of my body weight ... and these shoes would be an awesome kickstart to that goal!

    I could really use a new pair of running shoes... I have started running & working out 3-5 times a week with a trainer to lose the 40 pounds I have gained since I met my fiance. So far, I have lost 17!! I feel a lot better about myself... but I still have a ways to go.

    My goal was to run a 5k (then a 10k, 1/2 marathon... then,,,?!) I have run a 3.6 mile "adventure run" which was a blast. But I want to be able to run a full 5k without stopping.

    My ultimate goal is not to just get in shape for my wedding, but to be in shape so we can start planning for a family. At 5'2" - the additional 40 pounds was really taking its toll on me. I want to be in shape & continue to work out when we get pregnant... not just look good in my dress - that is just the icing on the cake (tongue in cheek...) Ideally, I would lose a total of 50 which would put me exactly where I want to be. I would be doing it right - fit & toned, not just thin.

  • I have 314 days until my wedding ... and boy, will New Balance help me reach my running goal! I've just started training to run my first 5k this November, The Leatherneck Run honoring the Marine Corps as my fiance is a Marine ... and my feet are already killing me because I don't know anything about good running shoes! I'm only on week two! Not to mention, this is just my first step in losing the 40 lbs that I want to lose by my wedding. Because my fiance is Marine, and is required to be in the best shape ever, it's not fair that he should be marrying someone who is pushing 200 lbs. I want to not only lose the weight for him and our wedding, but I want to continue learning to run and training for my own health. My uncle has been in the hospital for about 2-3 months now for all sorts of health problems related to his weight and has had massive surgery after surgery. He is SLOWLY stabilizing, and I don't want that to happen to me in 30 more years. I want to once and for all change my lifestyle and become active, healthy, and even more beautiful on the outside than I already am! Help me, New Balance!

  • I moved home to help my father run his business, and of course moving home means eating my mom's cooking.  Now that I am engaged I am looking to get in shape and lose the extra weight.  I'd love to win a new pair of NB shoes to help me meet my goal!  I LOVE that the shorts have a back pocket and a place for keys!  I drive to a nearby park & jog, so that means I either have to have shorts with secure pockets, or I have to run gripping my keys in my hands to make sure I don't lose them.

  • I'm doing 2 hrs of yoga/day and walking 1 hr/day. I need to win! I need some new shoes!
  • My goal before my wedding is to lose 30 pounds.  I recently started running and have been making awesome progress! The only problem is that the onlly shoes I have to run in is my old cheerleading shoes from freshman year of high school (which makes them 8 years old.) I constantly get shin splints and twisted ankles from the lack of support that my old shoes have.  The new shoes would be a great help and would probably help prevent some of my injuries.  I would be very very greatful if I could win these shoes.  I could wear them for the 5k my fiance and I are planning to run together as one of my fitness goals.
  • Some new balances would definitely help me get my fitness routine going! I've already started and am down 15 pounds, these would help me on my journey to lose 30 more!

  • I so need a new pair of shoes to help me workout and get in shape for my July 2011 wedding! :)
  • We are getting married on a really tight budget and I have signed up for a half marathon to get in shape! I could realllllly use a new pair of running shoes to help me reach my goal! Please pick me!!

  • These would totally keep me motivated to live a healthy lifestyle- who doesn't like to show off sweet gear?
  • My goal is to lose about 40lb, and shape up me stomac. I bet these shoes would help out a lot lol Embarassed
  • I've never had real running shoes because I could never afford them.  My fiancee and I are saving for our wedding, and in the meantime, we're working on bettering our health.  I've had the same sneakers since '04, and new shoes could most definitely make my journey to a healthier lifestyle more enjoyable!!
  • I hope I haven't missed the cut off for this! I could really put a pair of New Balances to good use.  I recently (as in June 1) started training for my first big race, a 10k(6 miles). This is huge for me! When I started i only was running 1/2 mile and now I am up to 5 miles, which rocks.  I'm not a runner but it is slowly growing on me and helping me shed the pounds.  I've lost a total of 50 lbs this year and running helped me shed about 15 lbs of that and fit into an amazing dress I wanted!!

      I think a pair of New Balances and I could grow to be best friends!! xoxo
  • My goal is to slim down slightly, tone up and get healthier.  I want to start walking every day and running on regular basis.  Sneakers would greatly help out. I am horrible at buying new sneakers and never know which ones are best.
  • After staying around the same weight for years now, with that last 10 to lose, I've decided to start running.
    I was always the fat kid growing up so was never physically able to really run.
    But having dropped 50 lbs since HS and definitely more active, I really want to push myself further (and hopefully drop that last 10)!
  • I'm on my second year of bootcamp, and am in need of some new shoes! With doing boorcamp outdoors, they're usually a muddy, wet mess after class. So a new pair would be a blessing, as I'm trying to hold off on buying a new pair until after our wedding.
  • I would love a new pair of sneakers because I really need a new pair! I have lost 30 lbs in a little under a year and have 10 or so more to go! I am so happy with my new fiance and am so excited to marry him! It has been a struggle to lose weight and I feel I can lose the last stubborn lbs because I am sooo motivated to look good in my dress.  I would really be much more confident in a great new pair of shoes! so thanks for the opportunity! Happy wedding everyone! Cool
  • New Balance is such a great product and offers great support throughout the shoe.

    I'm in the middle of possibly getting foot surgery more specifically a Bunionectomy. and The surgeon recommends New Balance because they have a wide base and offer the support i would need after surgery.

    I'm currently at a weight loss stand still and blame it on my ability to stay on my feet for long periods of time and withstand the impact of most aerobics exercises.

    This prize would help me out alot!

    THANKS SO MCUH!
  • I hope I win this. Everytime I run in my shoes, my toes hurt.
    It's going to be a lovely day!!!
  • With all the pre-wedding work-outs and walking, my weary feet are in dire need for a pair of new sneakers.  So please give these feet some new direction and inspiration.
  • I would love a pair of these---great looking shoes would be good motivation to get out and run!

  • OooooOOoOOh.  I would LOVE these shoes!  I was just telling DH the other day that I need to go shoe-shopping.. We recently have begun running outside/riding our bikes.  The shoes I am currently using are NOT cut out for the running portion, I ache for hours after.  This would surely save me the $ of buying new shoes and I could put that money towards something fun, like dinner & a movie to reward ourselves for our running/biking efforts!  :)
  • First NB are amazing and fit wide feet. I would love these sneakers for a number of reasons. I am getting married in Oct '11 and would love to be in much better health than I am now. I also teach and my students are planning a 5k for Sept '11 so I need to be able to work out, get in shape and set a great example for my students! I am recently out of school and well we all know teachers don't make much so these would be soooo great to win!

  • I think these would help me get to my goal, because they would make me look great and I would not be embarrassed to work out in front of people anymore.

  • I would love a new pair of NB shoes.  I have just started walking to get in shape for my wedding and the shoes I have are old and starting to give me shin splints.  I would love a new pair.
