40 pounds lost (Before & After Picture)

So I was looking at old pictures and came across the first one from back in 2009. I was 19 years old and about 175 pounds. I did no physical activity and had a desk job. I was never really that big until I moved in with my now husband and learned how to cook and bake. I wore 13 size jeans, and usually a large-extra large shirt. I went on weight watchers and lost about 25 pounds. Then I found this site and lost another 15 pounds.
This second picture is from October on my Florida Trip. I weighed between 135-140. I began running in September 2012, and ran my first 5k race in November. I will be running in a 10k in April and a half marathon in October. I am seriously in the best shape since I was 8 years old. I am in a size 8 jeans, and can wear medium shirts. My goals now are to lower my body fat percentage and just get lean muscle. Feel free to add me as a friend
