Well, I don't know how many recall my success story(es) from earlier this year, (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912120-from-fat-to-fit), but I have had some new success stories that I wanted to share.
I was recently featured in a Runner's World ... yes, Runner's World!!! .. as a result of my running and weight loss and as part of their "Inspirational Runner's of the New York Marathon" series. Only ten people with inspiring back-stories were chosen!
Here's a link to the story:

As a result of the Runner's World story, the local news station interviewed me as well. The story hasn't aired yet, but it's been promoted on a few commercials, which I thought is very awesome!
