Decided to finally share my progress. I'm 5'8 and 28 yrs old. I have always been overweight and reach my heightest weight of 257lbs six months after my first child was born. I was so uncomfortable and self conscience I knew something had to change. I joined mfp, started the c25k program and started doing workout videos. Six month later and I had lost 50lbs. I got pregnant with baby #2 and stayed active and healthy. Now a year after having my second baby I am down 100lbs from my heaviest weight. I have a healthy BMI for the first time in my life and fit in single digit jeans. I also run regularly and finished my first half marathon in April. I use to not be able to run for a minute and now I can run 13 miles! It wasn't easy, especially with two kids. But it was worth it. I still have goals. I want to loose another 15lbs or so, which will put me at 140. I want to run faster and continue working on strength and toning. I'm seriously thinking about signing up for a marathon in December. mwbv0fom7cz7.jpeg

    I'm impressed GetFit4Life13! After reading your post I feel motivated to get off the computer and get on the stationary bike for a while to get some exercise in for the day.
