    Wow, this could be me. I am 43, 5'9" and weighed 228 when I started MFP. I nearly cried when I got below 200 and actually sent my hubby a picture of the scale! lol Congrats on your hard work, dedication, committment and so on! You look fantastic!

    Oh Kim, you've just made me cry!

    Sorry I missed this when you posted it yesterday. You are such an inspiration to me and I am utterly blessed to have you as a friend. The cheering on was most definitely mutual - and I can't thank you enough for more than giving back. I have no doubt I would not still be running today, nearly a year after I began if it wasn't for you.

    Your story is not only a story of weight loss, but of fitness. It's proof that we can all improve on where we currently are - and that running kicks butt when it comes to getting fit! On a personal level, having like-minded friends to cheer each other on is where MFP is full of win.

    You are an absolute rockstar!

    Wow, you are truly inspiring. Not only did you lose such a great amount of weight but you found healthy and MOTIVATING ways to do so. I would love to take up running and swimming but I can't seem to find the motivation and confidence.

    Major props to you. What a huge accomplishment not only for your confidence, but your health as well.

    WOW. Your story just inspired me so much.
    I've been wanting to do the couch to 5k but have been worried about what others would think of me. And I have knee pain like you did. I think I am going to give it a shot and see what happens! Thank you so much!
