In Progress Pics

Well I made my life changing decision to lose weight and eat well on July 17th, 2012. While on vacation I waited 2 hours to ride a roller coaster only to be removed due to the fact that I could not fit in the seat comfortably and the safety harness would not lock. I eventually got to ride the roller coaster once they found a more "spacious" seat, but this was well after my family had already ridden and they ended up waiting. This was the most embarrassing weight related situation that I had ever been in, and I vowed that I would never allow myself to be in that situation again. For the remainder of the trip I was self-conscious and whenever we approached a new ride I would ensure that I could fit into the seat and that the harness would close correctly. That was my wake up call. My weight loss has been slow, but continuous. I am preparing for a 5k (color me rad) run on April 20th and I'm excited and to participate. I'm doing the couch to 5k program and hopefully I'll be able to run the entire course.

The pictures below depict where I've come from and where I am. It's hard to believe looking at the pictures that I allowed myself to weigh as much as I did. I'm pretty short 5'1, so every pound counts. I've lost 38lbs total with at least 50 more to go.

You look great and it seems like in your progress pics you seem much more content and at ease with yourself. It's really nice to see that. You should be really thrilled with all you've done.
