    Awesome! A word of advice. . .Running is addictive!! :smiley: My first 5k was a color run, and now I sign up for sooooo many races!

    You're doing amazing!!!


    Thanks! I never thought I would ever be a runner, now I don't think I will ever stop. I have dreams of running half marathons and marathons.

    Congrats! You can really see the difference in your face and your thighs :)

    Thanks so much! I'm so glad my thighs are slimming down since they are the last to go and I'm gaining so much muscle in then.

    Thank you! c25k was the best thing that I've ever done. I started running on my own mid August, but wasn't advancing much past 5 minutes. So mid September I started c25k and finished 2 days before my 5k. Whenever it seems to hard to run, don't give up, just slow down, catch your breath and try to keep going.

    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]


    Here's me right after I made it to 'onederland' [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/chesnity3/Mobile Uploads/20140920_111643-1_zpse407c32b.jpg[/img]


    Here's me at the color run yesterday 187lbs [img]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e25/chesnity3/Mobile Uploads/20141101_205255_zpscd035fd0.jpg[/img]


    AMAZING! You look great!!
    I've always wanted to do the color run, But I'm very pokey when running lol!
    Congratulations!
