edited January 30 in Success Stories
I've never been athletic, I even found a way to go for walks instead of doing actual gym class in high school. But, now I'm really into running, and am feeling amazing.

I started this journey on MFP on January 5, 2013. It started with a resolution to "drink more water". What a change.

I am training for a 10K race with my sister in law, which has brought some motivation back to my daily routine. I had fallen out of it for a while, even gaining 5lbs back in one week. Yikes.

But, I am so proud of myself. I have officially dropped 30 lbs (at my weigh in this morning, not official weight in day, but I don't care!)

Since 2011, I have lost over 50lbs, and have gone from a size 20 to a size 12/14. It's sooo nice to walk into a store and be able to try things one. I have never done that before. I weigh less now than I did in high school, even my prom dress is too big!

Well, here are some pictures taken on day 1, and today. Excuse the gross hair, just finished a work out! Same shirt was used as comparison. Also, the other piccy was just before a run the other day :)

    Way to go! I've been thinking of working my way up to running. I think my dog would like it!
