not sure if these photos will work...but im giving it a shot..heres my story...I saw these vacation photos and wanted to cry! I started eating well.and walking..bought an elliptical..then it happened...RUNNING! I got roped into volunteering for a run...a 10k..i had never run in my LIFE! ( that's what I get for drinking with a bunch of runners) on November 9,2012 I started c210k..i ran outside all winter..the weight started to fall off...I kept eating well and exercising..ran the iceman 2 miler in January (10degrees) the 10 k in march and a 5k Saturday..thats what made me see the difference..i saw a picture and had to look at it twice....is that me? and it was :) I had to share my story..anyone can do this...If I can do this ..you can too...I LOVE MFP...AND THE MOTIVATION FROM ALL OF YOU

    Fantastic job!!! Your dedication to health and fitness is awesome. Who would've known how much your life would have changed once you made that commitment to do your first race? I remember those days you were out running in the snow. And there were a lot of them! It's been so great to see your progression throughout the weeks and months. I'm so happy for your success. You are beautiful, inside and out. It is such an honor to call you friend. Now go have yourself a clementine! ???? <3 ????????⭐❤

    Wow! I am inspired. I've been away from MFP for some time and I'm feeling like a blob. My goal is 40 lbs. I am bigger than you in your vacation pics. I thought those pictures weren't even bad! Wow! What a transformation! Running... I just don't know. Congrats! You should be so proud!!
