    I couldn't help myself, I was bawling by the time I finished reading. I salute you and your determination. What an incredible story! Keep it up for the rest of your life. It is amazing what the human body is capable of when we treat it right, which I have not been doing, at least with eating, for most of my adult life. It doesn't take much inattention to find yourself in a place you don't want to be.

    Awesome! I live right by the Philly Zoo and I was there cheering on the runners, I wish I had known to cheer for you! Congrats on reaching your goals. I am considering running the half marathon next year (I've done it once before), but maybe I'll think about the full one now!

    i can't say that i'm particularly moved by most of the stories i read on mfp, but this one is so inspirational. not only is it inspiring to see how you completely turned your life around, it's also inspiring knowing that your actions are going to move others to action themselves. your family, your friends, and even the complete strangers that come into this thread. amazing job!
