RUNNERS POST YOUR PICS!

I haven't updated this, but I have lost about 10 lbs since my last pic. I would say a majority on running. I do some cross training and started strength training too. But I love me some running. (Hoping this pic isn't too big, not the greatest at posting pics!)
Edit: My butt also looks a lot better, but no pics of that;)0 -
I'm so thankful to have stumbled upon this thread today!
After I got home from work today at 5pm I had NO intention of doing my running. I'm on Week 6, day 3 of C25K where you have your first 20 minute run. I've tried to get going with that 20 minute run 3 times already. I refuse to move on until I finish it, darn it!
I saw all the INSPIRING pics and stories and immediately got my butt downstairs on the treadmill and finished the 20 minutes straight! Only 20 minutes, I know.... but a few short weeks ago I couldn't run an entire 60 seconds without gasping for air.
One day I will post my own before and afters when there is some actual external progress just so I can help someone else visualize what getting off your keester will do. Until then.....keep the inspiration coming!!!0 -
I'm no where near done, but this is my before, and during. Sorry the right pic is blurry. I'm doing Stronglifts 5x5 and C25K. I ran my first 5K at the beginning of this month, and it was awesome.

What a motivating thread. I HATE running with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns........but today, when my youngest was at preschool, and I had 2 1/2 hours all to myself....I ran. Well....I walked more than I ran, but I ran too. Funny how I never regret it.0

I too apologize that I do not have pictures, but I wanted to share my experience. I still have a long long long way to go. Last summer on my 30th birthday I completed a half marathon, notice I didn't say I ran, or that I even raced, but I finished darn it!! It took me 4 hours and 15 minutes and that was with training for 4 months. I slowly worked through the C25K program very slowly, even on race day the most I ran at a time was roughly 4 minutes. I walked most of the way, ran (jogged actually) when I could and crossed that finish line. I will use that race as my baseline and continue to progress from there. I weighed over 300 lbs when I completed that half marathon. When I first started trying to run I could barely make 45 seconds without stopping.
Its a different journey for everyone, but one that I highly recommend.0 -
Here are my before and after. Before was 2007 at 289 lbs. After is 2011 after completing my first 10k at 187 lbs.
well done! you look like a different person!!!! amazing!0 -
Here is my during:
I'm down around 10 sizes, which I attribute to weight lifting as well as running. I love doing both.
You look like you've lost loads more than 67lb (maybe the weight training) - stunning job!
You all look amazing!0 -
Running keeps me sane. I didn't think I could, then I started running on a treadmill, a minute at a time, slowly built it up to 30 minutes straight....then I started running outdoors. It's a revelation. I now have a couple of 10ks and a half marathon under my belt. I intend to run the Cardiff Half Marathon in October, and I run 4 mornings each week...a total of about 17 miles each week.
As for weight loss, I went from 215lbs down to 160. I am back up at 184 at the moment but I blame that on having two beautiful children!
I am now back on it and intend to get down to 154. I couldn't do it without running. Running means that if I blow my eating goals I don't need to panic, I know I can run it off!
Start slow, 1 minute run, 1 minute walk, then slowly increase your time. It is so liberating to be able to put on your trainers and go.0 -

No pics, but I went from 215 to 184 and my thighs look slimmer and more toned than they've ever been.0

I ran. But I think my loss mostly had to do with diet: eating under TDEE.

I run about 3 times a week. Gone down from almost every day. Note, I am flexing one calf and not flexing one so you can kinda see the difference? Not sure if this is what you're looking for picture-wise, but I hope it helps!
