I had a fun NSV last night. We met with an amazing elderly couple that were visiting from out of state. I haven't seen them for a few months. When the elevator opened, the first thing the little lady yelled to me was "You are getting down right skinny!". I don't talk health issues with her, so she had no idea that I am even trying to lose weight. Haha.... well, I'm still weighing in at 199, so I'm far from skinny. However, it was a great feeling to know that someone could see a difference in my body shape.

Congrats @CourtLloyd! That's really inspiring for me. I'm going to run my first 10k this year too!
Jumping to a half is a huge step up. Good luck!0 -
@6mimi that's a fantastic NSV!!! Treasure that memory and use it to motivate you !0

@CourtLloyd, you are an amazingly accomplished runner!!! The best thing about these victories is that now you know that you can accomplish anything you can dream of. I can't wait to see what you do next!!!0

So I'm feeling a little defeated today, can I share a scale victory?
I'm getting close to a normal BMI. I'll be "normal" when I hit 140.5 and I'm currently sitting around 145. I just need a little motivation to keep me going, so I started pulling together some pics.
I've decided that I'm going to post them in the main forums when I hit "normal", but for now, here's a preview.
I started 5/19/14 with a BMI of 36.3 (obese). At 169lbs, I went to an overweight BMI. Now I'm struggling to hit a normal BMI and really really want it.
I've been taking progress pics about every 5lbs. I really didn't want to at first, but I'm so glad I did:
Now I just need to get over that milestone so that I can really celebrate. I'm not done yet.1 -
Wow. Thank you for sharing @SingRunTing I have been struggling and this just shows what can be done. Once again Wow!0

That last bit that we seek, the increased strength and really feeling like ya..this is the skin I am supposed to be in, is within our reach!! Each day is a gift and we decide what we are going to fuel ourselves with and the journey is long but so worth taking! !!! @CourtLloyd That's fast! Built for speed! @danelutza19 your new profile pic is great and really shows your dedication!0

Thanks @danelutza19 and @SingRunTing! I've been "training" for this half as much as I can...back in school hasn't been helping, but I'm trying to really stay focused the next 4 weeks...the course is slightly hilly...so I'm a little nervous..but I'll finish...some way, some how! :0)0
