My Progress

My friend took this picture of me before our "Independence Day 5k" yesterday. This wasn't the first 5k I've done, and we have made a little tradition of taking a picture of each other before each one we do together, but, I usually wear a looser shirt! :embarassed: I'm still fat, I still have about 80 more pounds I want to lose, but when I finally looked at this picture today I realized I didn't look nearly as bad as I thought I did in that shirt. So, I took my usual "before" picture, re-cropped it, made it work size-wise, and stuck it next to this new picture of me. I really have come a long way, and I figured I would share it with you!
The picture on the left was somewhere between 43-60 pounds ago (I don't know my actual start weight). When the picture on the left was taken, I struggled to walk even half a mile, let alone DREAM of running a 5k, and this was my fourth one! Hopefully soon I'll have even more to show! :drinker:



Here are a couple more pictures for giggles:

great job!! it's so nice to be able to compare older pictures with new ones to see just how far you have come. I look at old pictures of me as motivation to keep going and to never get back to that place again. keep up the fantastic work!!
