After I had my son in December 2009, I was weighing in around 250 <gasp!!!!>. I really started getting serious about losing the baby weight in October of 2010. I joined MFP in January and started training for my first 5k. It's been on my bucket list for awhile, and this is the year when I took back my life, including my health and my goals. Anyway, lol, I am making positive changes, but still have a lot of work to do. These are my before and mid-way pics. I will post my after pics when I feel like an "after".

This is me a few weeks after I had my son, at around 250 pounds.

This is me last weekend after I ran my first 5k (in 38:02 yay me) at around 200 pounds.

    What a big difference!! Congrats!!
    You are well on your way.
    I am going to be doing my first 5K in September and I am super pumped about it.
    My daughter is going to walk it with me and I think we have talked some more friends into doing it as well.
    It will be FUN and it will benefit the Relay For Life too.
    Keep on Keepin' on...you are a conqueror!!

    Thank you everyone for the kind words and support! I didn't know how good that would make me feel:) Thank you, thank you, thank you!! My weight loss stalled last month due to me quitting smoking and using food to fill that void of time. lol. I was taking a lot of snack breaks. I'm definately back on track now. No more girl scout cookies or chocolate bunnies in sight!!!! I will be at my goal within the next few months!!!! Add me as a friend, if you want a cheerleader. I love cheering on my friends:flowerforyou:
