You look amazing! Thanks for sharing....you are definitely an inspiration! I want to try the challenges (pushup/situp) website you posted....I need something to start off slow w/out me getting discouraged....sounds like that may be the way to go! I have arthritis in my knees and hips, so can't do anything too strenuous on the legs, which limits alot of what I can do, but I'm trying!!!!0

You are trying and that's what matters!

So, I have been putting off posting progress pics for a while. I promised myself and MFP friends I would post them @ 50 pounds lost...so here goes! First up, the dreaded before pics!
This next one is the one that made me want to REALLY do something. My mom took this pic at a party and tagged me in it on Facebook. I was mortified!!!!
The first time I started feeling good about the way my body looked...also around the time others started to notice a difference in the way I looked.
Here's a pic with me wearing those damn khaki pants from the (2nd) before pic! They were a size 18!!! I got rid of those things the day I took this pic!!
This is me after my 3rd 5k this year in June! I weighed about 177 in this one I think! I also place 5th in my division at this race! I was amazed!
The day I got reacquainted with my collar bones!
The last 3 were all taken this morning! I am wearing my new Zumba shirt that my instructor gave me last night for all my hard work and dedication.

My only secret is do this for YOU!! You cannot wait for someone else to do it for you! I was a member on this site for a year before I finally figured that out this January. The best thing of all is I have done this without stepping foot in a gym. When I run, I go to the park and run laps. I do Zumba at a local dance studio, where I am now helping to co-teach. At home I love to do Jillian Michaels "30 Day Shred" and Billy Blanks kicks my butt in his "Billy's Boot Camp" DVD's.
I still have about 29 pounds to go to get to my goal weight. My goal right now is to get to 135 by November. That would put me in a healthy weight range; I am 5'2. As of today I have lost a total of 51 lbs and I weigh 164; which puts me in the overweight category out of the obese category for the first time in my life in 5 years. I am in a size 10 pants right now and those are getting loose quickly!
I want to take the time to thank all my friends here on MFP who have stuck by my side through thick and thin...literally. And never hesitate to give an encouraging word if need be. I only hope that you all can say the same about me as well!
More pics when I get to goal weight!

Very proud of you! You are a testament to what can happen with a little hard work and perserverance....I started my journey @ 244 pounds...size 18W on August 1...I'm down 24 lbs so far and still want to lose about 76 more. Keep working hard, you'll get to your goal weight....God is good all the time! Thanks for posting...it's great to get inspiration from others!0
