I still have 23 lbs to go before my goal, but I figured I'd post my results so far. I started at 220 lbs in January of this year, which is when I started MFP and decided to cut out all junk food and alcohol (except for special occasions). I started out walking on my treadmill, which had just been taking up space and gathering dust prior to that. In March, I started the C25k program and I ran my first 5k race on Mother's Day -- such an accomplishment! I am 45 years old, I have 2 young children that I want to be around for to see them grow up and have them not remember me as always being a tired, lazy mom who didn't want to be active with them. I'm well on my way, and they are so proud of my accomplishment so far, as is my husband, who is now constantly telling me that he feels like he's having an affair with a different woman!! LOL
