Hey guys!
So its only been 15 pounds buttttt I feel so much better about myself! When I first started I couldn't run 30 seconds without feeling like I would die, I ate a ridiculous amount of McDonald's, Little Ceaser's and Taco Bell, and I couldn't wear jeans on casual Fridays because none of them fit unless I unbuttoned them at my desk. Now I can run 8 miles, I eat a ridiculous amount of Greek yogurt and had to buy new jeans (skinnies even!).
The first picture is from my 22nd birthday party (don't mind the drink). I believe I was around 205. I didn't actually make a real go at this until July (206 lbs) but there hadn't been any pictures between January and July. Anyway, second picture was from the other day.
Oh, and I got a haircut!

You only lost 15lbs? It looks like you lost about 30lbs. Did you weight train? You look good.0

You look amazing!! Great work!!! I bit the bullet and took before pictures... I've lost 9 lbs but not noticeably. Keep up the good work!! How did you get up to running 8 miles??! I used to hate running but I've been easing into it for 5 weeks now...and love it!0

You look awesome, and may I say, SO much younger than the "before" pic ?0

I did a little bit with some dumbbells but never anything consistent. It was usually just sitting on the couch watching TV and I'd pick one up and start.
I would say that I have to carry my dog a lot. He's about 50 lbs now and absolutely terrified of skateboards. And I live just a few blocks from a skate park! Every time he sees one he tries to run and the only way to get past is for me to carry him. It's quite the workout!0 -

Thank you!
The first few weeks I just ran as much as I could. At first it was only a few minutes at a time. Once I was able to run 2 miles without walking I started a half-marathon training plan from RunKeeper. That really helped me stay focused and motivated to run longer.0 -
Wow, you look super awesome!0

Hehe! That's so cute. ^_^ Congrats on your loss - you're looking excellent!!0 -
Oh my god, WRONG QUOTE. I'm so silly. I was giggling at the puppy-carrying story. >.<0

Great success!!! You do look like you lost more than 15. I had to do a similar thing with a 50 lb foster dog who should've been 40, and too lazy to walk in a parade. I had to keep picking her up and running to catch up with the rest of our group. You're right, it's a workout!0
