Hi everyone! Success stories have been huge inspirations for me. Even though, I don't consider myself a success just yet because I still have 50lbs to lose until I reach a healthy weight. I do have some great accomplishments and running my first 5k have been the greatest one so far. Yesterday 11-1, I ran the color run non stop. I always dreamed about being able to run as a kid, but my weight always held me back until now. My future is looking bright and I can't wait to get to a healthy weight and to run more races. Thanks for reading!
Here's me at my biggest 260.4lbs right before I started MFP, which at 5'3 is too much weight [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/chesnity3/Mobile Uploads/PicsArt_1350339457053-1_zpsea688ba1.jpg[/img]
