Last year around this time I decided I needed to make some changes. I was 5 ' 5" , bordering on 200 pounds and uncomfortable in my own skin.

I decided to join the Y. I started running. I started feeling better, but wasn't dropping much weight. I ran my first 5K in August

Around September of last year ^^^^^^^^^

I got serious about tracking on MFP and started losing at a steady 1 pound a week. The picture below is October 2013

Today I am over 30 pounds down from my starting weight and beginning half marathon training

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing. When you started tracking did you continue to run or just track food?

    Yes, I kept running. I ran another 5K in October and an 8K in November.

    You look awesome. And since that beautiful purple dress is to big now. Willing to send it to me. I love it.

    Oh and I will happily take the blue one off your hands too. Both are beautiful.

    LOL! Modcloth.com - love that site!!!

    By request I did open my diary to public. I try and record everything but some days I don't quite make it to tracking dinner. I do a lot of batch cooking/freezer cooking from scratch so I have a LOT of recipes saved that you'll see throughout my diary.

    I LOVE running! I had no idea I would like it so much (and would NEVER have thought I'd be seen in public with running tights on). Plus I always look forward to my long run days as I usually eat at least half my exercise calories back ;-)
