    Congratulations! You look amazing! As others have written, I would have guessed you to be much younger.

    Did I read it right that you started all of this in January of 2003? If so that is awesome for such a short time. Either way it's awesome because you look like a new woman!

    Yup. Started January 2013 and reached my goal weight last month. I feel like a new me and my husband says I look like I did when we first got together 13 years ago. The new old me maybe? :laugh:

    OMG...thank you for sharing! I am starting the c25k over 200 lbs. It is hard but what makes it doable are success stories like yourself. You are amazing and I hope I enter my 50s as rewarding as you 40s.

    This has actually massively inspired me to start running. I can't run for more than 45 seconds, and the embarrassment of how slow I go, and how worn out I get stops me from going. I'm going to start next week - and try and get my husband to start with me. Thank you for posting :smile:
