From morbidly obese to merely overweight! (with pictures)

So, I started this whole thing at my highest weight of 290ish. This is the only picture that exists of me at that weight:

I lost a little weight and lived at 268 for a few years:

Today, about 9 months after I started really focusing on my fitness I am 202.5 pounds and officially in the overweight category according to the BMI:

I did my first race a few weeks ago. Just a 5k, but I rocked the heck out of it and had so much fun!:

I still have LONG road ahead of me, but I am looking forward to it! I have a few more 5ks coming up and my first triathlon later in July. I have just been having fun with the whole fitness thing and seeing what I can do next!

Question: How did you get into running?? I cycle everyday (and love it!) but, I need to switch it up. I tried doing the couch to 5k program (a few times) and failed miserably! Congrats on running your first 5k!
