    Really inspiring! You look amazing! I can barely run for a minute at a time right now, but someday I dream about running in a Disney marathon (I'm a Disney geek). Can't wait to be where you are!

    For the record - It's taken me 16 months to get here and I'm not done. I've never eaten below 1550 cals, and I make exercise a priority. I went from barely being able to run a mile to running a 5k in 27 minutes in my last speed workout on a treadmill. I've decided that I like running, so that's what I do. The only thing that I can say for certain is that I keep trying, have kept trying and never stopped trying. I also never shied away from working at it, even on my really sh*tastic days. Weightloss is a process and this is mine (in pictures!)

    I went from 275lbs:

    To 189 (less than 30lbs away from my goal weight):

    So I got myself this tattoo today, self designed in UV ink:

    To remind myself that while I was this person for a really, really long time. And I did some awesome things while being her:

    I now exist in a slightly more awesome form, and she's ready for some new adventures:

    That is an awesome tat, and such a well deserved gift to yourself for doing an even more awesome job. Congrats! And thanks for the new awesome word for my vocabulary: sh*tastic. I love it!
