After not being able to walk to the bus stop at Christmas without being puffed out, I now just ran 10 miles in 81 mins to add to my 10k (49 mins) and 5k (22mins). Have lost about 24 pounds in total and about 7 since joining MFP recently. Very happy!!!!!!!!!!

    GREAT!!! My 5k time is around 30 minutes generally, but I'm working on that.

    you were huffing in December from walking and you can run that fast in 2 months?! I'm beyond impressed!!! I've been running for almost a year and have a hard time running anything under a 11 min pace! Congrats!

    Hey thanks for all the support you are a great bunch!!!! I went to the supermarket and picked up the equivalent of the weight lost in bags of sugar - I totally understand now why i was tired all the time carrying that round all day ;-)
