    Not sure if I'm more impressed with your awesome progress or the fact that you trail run with bare feet!

    Losing weight was waaaaay harder than learning to run barefoot :D:D:D

    I’m thinking about writing a separate post about barefooting since I’m finding there is quite a bit of interest, about how I got started and why I run this way, etc. I realize it’s unusual but it just feels normal and natural to me :)

    Gotta add my voice to the chorus - you look absolutely stunning! You're such an inspiration, especially as I have the almost exact same numbers (5'11", 209 lb starting weight, goal 165 lb - I'm at 190 lb now -, I'm just a bit older, just turned 50). I don't think I'll ever be a runner, though.

    That’s cool! You can totally do it! 165 is my “summer weight” and it’s what I’m at right now. I have to crank up my activity level a bit to get and stay there. I’ll gain 5 lbs during the winter months.

    I wasn’t ever going to be a runner either, until I ended up being one! :D:D:D

    Eat well and workout, take care of the only body you have. Make your supporters proud and your haters jealous!

    You look beyond amazing! Have to ask a personal question though; don’t have to answer if you’re uncomfortable but I hope to know. I noticed that even with your weight loss, you are still bigger busted. Your ta-ta’s...real or no? I am currently an F cup due to my weight and hope that when I lose weight, I’ll get back down to my D (or smaller) cups. BTW, I am 48 y/o, 6 feet tall and am currently at my highest weight ever of 204 lbs. I am seriously inspired by you as I also have an extremely sedentary lifestyle (desk job). Thanks for sharing your success!

    When women say they lose their boobs with weight loss, it’s such a foreign concept to me because mine never budged an inch even after 2 consecutive years of breastfeeding my child or later on by losing 43 pounds. When you get a mammogram, your doctor should be able to tell you if you have dense breast tissue or not, I have very dense tissue so they’re here to stay. If your tissue isn’t very dense then the breast will be made up of a portion of fat and therefore subject to weight fluctuations. It’s like they say... you cannot spot-reduce! If I could, I’d choose to lose some boobage for sure but I’ve got to work with what I’ve got. Ever since I was 15 I've been trying to squish, minimize and hide them and I’m sooooo done doing that. I’m tired of feeling like I need to apologize for my natural body shape and I’m gonna wear whatever outfits I want! A few years ago I got evaluated for a reduction surgery but ultimately decided not to go through with it (it’s quite a brutal surgery imho and I was too scared of possible nerve damage) Finding the correct size bras and working on my posture have helped me deal with the sheer weight of the boobage so it’s gotten better but I might still reconsider getting a reduction in the future. When women ask if their breast size will change with weight loss, I think the real answer is... There’s only one way to find out! Lose the weight, only then you will know for sure! What’s really helped me love and accept my body shape has been exercising regularly. I’m much more impressed with what my body can do than how it looks! I think strengthening your body should be a priority and the looks will naturally follow. Good luck on your journey! :)

    You are so right! Thanks for the insight. I already know I have dense tissue so, I most likely will remain “voluptuous” and I’m ok with that, but my back and shoulders aren’t, LOL! Like you said though...more muscle in the back and core will help. I am planning to start my journey in a couple of weeks; foot is healing from surgery last week. 😒

    Hard to believe that I was sedentary my entire life up until about 6 years ago. I’ll never go back to that though, being active is so much more fun! 😁
