26 pounds lost - with pics

This is my first forum topic!! I joined MFP in mid-January on the advice of a friend. When I joined, I weighed 190.8. Today I weigh 164.8! I have lost 26 pounds in 4.5 months and I am feeling great.

When I joined a gym in January, I tried a treadmill and couldn't run 2 full minutes at 5mph. On Wednesday of this week, I ran for a full hour, a total of 5.09 miles. I am currently training for a half marathon in mid-September!!

I took the first picture back in November (didn't weigh myself back then) when my husband and I were getting ready to go out on a date. I couldn't believe how bad I looked in that white shirt.

I took the second picture yesterday - I bought the red t-shirt on clearance at Target over a year ago and thought "I *will* fit into this someday!" That day is here!!!!!
