Hello all!!

I am Elaine and I am very pleased with myself this wet and windy Monday morning at work because yesterday I ran my first official 5K at Race for Life and managed it in a personal best time of 37 minutes and 35 seconds.... :)

Still have miles to go on my weight loss and fitness journey but I can safely say I am the most dedicated and motivated I have ever been and cannot wait to see my body changing, improving and my health and fitness doing the same. One day I will have abs to be proud of and I am not afraid to set myself that (at the moment)very distant goal!! Thank you all so much for the undying support you have shown me!

Start weight.... 212lbs.......

Current weight after completing yesterday's 5K.... 188lbs! :)

Goal weight and goal fitness a long way off... but progress is here!! :)

Please feel free to add me!!

    You're amazing and I totally understand running, bras, and big boobs! I have run all my life and only in the past ten years have bras become available to help the better endowed :) - We used to have to tape. Some serious girls I know still do. Congratulations and look absolutely gorgeous!

    :flowerforyou: :blushing: aw you have me totally blushing!! Thank you so much! Running is something I am not really built for at the moment... maybe never will be if these girls never shrink with my weightloss!! But its been so good having a goal and something to work for! I always said one of those clingfilm/foodwrap stlye machines they wrap luggage in at airports would be ideal to keep the puppies at bay while running!! :laugh:

    The clingfilm machine comment actually made me laugh out loud.

    The progress you have made so far is excellent. Love to see before and actual picture as impressive as yours.

    You look great! Congrats! Running for a larger busted girl is so much of a bigger deal that people realize. You need bra that holds up or you get sore armpits! I still get nervous doing jumping jacks because I'm afraid of smacking myself in the face! What bra did you wear by the way? I love the Champion ones.
