    I am so thrilled for you! I spend 25 years of my life between 250 and 320. I found a great health program that helped me lose weight quickly and had an educational component! Now I know how to eat 6 low glycemic meals a day and stay healthy for life! I am starting to run. I don't like it but I am committed so I admire you tremedously!

    I have been wanting to run, but my doctor has told me not to run until I get at least 30 lbs off because if I start now it will tear my knees up (no previous knee injuries). This makes me think "why not!" Good job!

    YOU ARE AWESOME!! And you are a superhero. I hope since this is your second that means that one wasn't enough and you're going to keep going!

    I started my running as well at 300+ and am now (just today) under 250, so KEEP IT UP!!! You are doing awesome.

    And congrats on your PR! (Personal Record) ...a few minutes is nothing to sneeze at.. I've set new PR's by less than 30 seconds but it still counts! :)

    That is beautiful. Keep on running. Keep on breaking your own records. You're a great inspiration for anyone who says they can't do it.

    You are awesome! I haven't worked up to running yet. My body feels so awkward when I try, but I want to. I'm thinking maybe I'll try the Race for The Cure in October. You are so inspiring! Great job and keep it up!

    Thats incredible my hat is off to you when I was 300 pounds Iwas lucky to be able to walk a few blocks and back I kept at it and have steadily improved if you are at 5ks now the sky is the limit I can run 4 or 5 miles at a time now and I am sure if you want to and keep at it you will be able to run forever
