Ok, I just posted about a month ago with some progress pics but it was face only and more importantly I have now officially hit 100 pounds lost! I had already lost a little bit of weight before I found MFP (so my ticker only says 86 lost!)

I had to really look hard to find a full body picture. I rarely took pictures at all let alone a full body shot. So… the before is the best I could find. The ‘after’ is from two weeks ago at my first full ‘running’ 5K (32 minutes and 23 seconds). I have lost about 5 lbs since that picture even!

I still have about 35 more pounds to lose to hit my long term GW of 180 but right now my GW is 199… which is only about 15 pounds away (I am 6ft tall)!! No magic behind my weight loss - just counting calories, being active and staying strong (mentally and physically).

    you can fix your ticker by going into your settings and reset the starting weight to what it was when you actually began your weight loss journey. I had lost 25 pounds before finding MFP and it always read short of my actual loss. Another friend on here told me about how to change it.

    You have done a marvelous job at your loss and I too am looking for that day to see onderland. I have 13 pounds to get there. Congrats on the 100 mark! You should be very proud of yourself!

    Thank you all! I really loved the C25K running program. I finished that about 3 weeks ago and keep building on my distance. Tuesday I was really in 'the zone' while running and I made it to 6.2 miles (woo-hoo). However, I think that was a bit much and I was still really sore for last night's run, which was only about 2.5 miles. I do want to keep building but I might take it a little slower pace.

    I have another 5K race this Sunday, which my husband is going to do as well. He is in Week 6 of C25K and doing great too! He is going to try to run the whole 5K but if he has to stop a couple of times that is still Ok. We have a 5-mile race on Thanksgiving morning we signed up for called the Turkey Trot.

    My goal is to try to do a race about once a month and in April there is a big 10K I am going to do called the Capital 10K in Austin. There are over 20,000 runners and I can't wait. It is my long term race to look forward to and hopefully I will be close to my GW by then. :happy:

    I am going to try to do this now! I always feel a bit cheated because the ticker doesn't tell my 'full story'. Thank you for the advice!
