    Thanks everyone! I started losing weight feeling uncertain of if I could do it, but creating good habits and not giving up paid off. I do have more energy and feel better. To those running, don't be discouraged by your run times... No matter what the pace, run knowing that you are doing something wonderful for your body, your health and the health of those around you (you will be inspiring to others!) :)
