When I joined MFP in May I never imagined that just 4 1/2 months later I would be able to say that I have lost 25 lbs, reached my first big goal of being in ONEderland and finished my first race!! I am thrilled to be able to say that as of this week, all of those things have been accomplished!

On Wednesday, I stepped on the scale at 199.6 lbs!! That's 25.4 lbs lost!! ONEderland feels great!!!!

And this morning, I finished the Hands On House 5K (in Lancaster, PA) with a time of 37:42!! I completely obliterated my goal of finishing under 45 minutes!!

It is thanks to this site, and the support of all of my MFP peeps that I have been able to stay on track and make great strides towards becoming a much healthier version of ME!!
