Here's a before and during (cuz I'm not "after" yet :tongue: ):

Before:

Now (During, we'll say):

Even though the scale has gotten a little stuck, I have come so far with my fitness. I did my second obstacle course this past weekend, a 5k with 20 obstacles. I have been really working on developing strength and my lifts and it totally paid off! I was able to hoist myself up ropes, climb up and over 12 foot walls, and jump over trenches. I was always the kid that would show up for gym class just until roll was taken and then go hide. To be able to do these things now is baffling to me. I'm having the time of my life and hope to do a Tough Mudder in the fall. That's my "yearly goal", and what I'm working towards.

Don't give up. It can take time and patience, but it's so worth it. Challenge yourself and you will prove to yourself that you can do so much more than you ever thought yourself capable of!

    Fantastic loss first of all!! Congrats on your second obstacle course! You look amazing, happy, and you are positively glowing with joy! Keep up the great work!

    Edit to add... that picture was clearly a pre-obstacle course picture! Would love to see a post course photo. I will be completing my second obstacle course this weekend, and plan on getting DIRTY!!
