So, it's officially been 7 months since I started this journey and I figure it's about time to let my new self shine!

I've gone from 235lbs (I started doing MFP at 201lbs) to 149lbs so far! I didn't take measurements before (I wish I had! Highly recommend that to people, even if you've been doing this for a while but I'm pretty sure my before picture will speak for itself!) From when I did get around to doing my measurements, I'm now down-
Hips- 4 inches
Chest-1.5 inches
Waist 2.5 inches
Thighs 1.5 inches
Calfs- 2 inches

I've completed C25K and have since run 3 5k's!!!! My energy level has more then tripled at least! I'm more sane then I ever have been! haha I'm busy chasing after my 3 kids and did I mention I've done it all while m husband has been deployed!!! He's not even going to recognize me when he gets home! Can't wait!

Okay... so here it is... the bad! (BTW i took this never ever once dream of ever posting this anywhere public!!!)

    The fact that your husband doesn't even know what you look like these days gave me a HUGE smile - he's going to be so surprised, lol. You look incredible, you really do. You've clearly worked so hard!

    Wow, that truly is an amazing transformation. Love the expressions in your face in the before and after. The first one looks like you are thinking: "Oh boy" the second like "Oh wow, is that me". Confidence really shines through.

    Thanks everyone! I feel so incredible! Honestly, the first time I've done something for me and been so incredibly proud of myself in forever!!!
    I'm 5'8.5"
    Honestly, most of this was achieved by doing C25k and keeping up with runs after. I do some calisthenics as well.
