No longer winded!

So I don't have a car and I sometimes take the bus to get to work. Today I almost missed the bus and had to run after it, but guess what? I wasn't winded at all by the time I got on the bus! I feel so proud of myself. Before, when I was 220lbs, I couldn't even run for 10sec before feeling like I was going to collapse but now I can chase after the bus! WooHoo! Also, my job is about 1.5 miles away from where I live. When I was at my heaviest I couldn't even walk that far without feeling winded and needing to stop. Now I can walk to work without breaking a sweat. :)

    It is such a great feeling isn't it? I was recently down in SE Devon in England; right on the coast which has some very steep hilly towns. I suddenly realised I was walking around, up and down these steep streets, and I was not out of breath or at all tired like I would have been just over three months ago. MFP and some moderate aerobics each morning seems to be doing the job for me...oh, and the motivation of hearing how well so many other people on here are doing! :happy:
