I finally took updated pics. You know the ones where you stand in the standard poses. I took the first ones 3 years ago when my goal was a 5k, now I've completed 4 half marathons and a few more 5ks. While I haven't lost all the weight and I'm not at my goal weight, I have come a long ways fitness wise. I am one of those people who loses it as slow as a snail, but I'm keeping it off :)

    there is an enormous difference. good job. your perseverance is what makes you great...I have a horrible history of giving up after a couple weeks because I didn't lose 50 pounds...lol. so i'm inspired by your slow and steady commitment.

    That is super awesome! Being healthy and active is more important than the number on the scale. You are an inspiration to me!

    Fabulous!!!

    I, too, am a very slow "loser".......it's hard sometimes, but I feel like I just need to keep going. 15 more lbs, and I'm at my first goal! How hard can that be?????

    lol.

    what everyone else said is true... however, i noticed the confidence. you have increased your confidence in yourself over those three years.. the attitude and way you hold yourself is different.

    you look great.. keep at it chiquita... its wonderful to see people with success like that... especially since i'm still trying to figure out the right balance for me..

    Thank you everyone. It's easy to get discouraged when you see these people who've lost 100lbs in a year, and it's like wow!
