Let me just start by saying that everyone here has been incredibly motivating & I love seeing all of the progress so--a big CONGRATS to everyone working hard to better themselves! I still have miles to go (literally and figuratively) before I'll really be where I want to be but I just wanted to share my little moment from the weekend. I started out on this journey right after my 27th birthday (June 10, 2012) and haven't looked back since. I've lost a little over 40lbs through micromanaging everything I eat and training with the C25K program and ran my first 10K on Saturday in San Francisco with my wonderful mom by my side. Our time was by no means record-breaking (81 minutes) but my only real goal was to run the whole thing and to not come in last, which, I am proud to say, was exactly what happened! To anyone just starting out I would like to quote John Bingham "The miracle isn't that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start." Get out there and make it happen!
