I never ever thought I'd post pictures - they aren't underwear pics, just everyday pics I've taken with family and friends...
But I started about a year ago, I've lost almost 60 pounds from my highest non pregnancy weight... my youngest is 14!!!
I've ran over 500 miles since mid March of this year, gone from a size 16 to a size 8! So I though I would share with you all, IF I CAN DO THIS... SO CAN YOU!

My first 5K - Aloha 5K at Chrissy Field, San Francisco

I still have some work to do! Another 15lbs and some core and upper body toning!!!! I'm running my next 5K this coming weekend and I stole this from another 5K I will be doing next year for sure -
I BELIEVE IN SWEATING EVERYDAY, I BELIEVE RUNNING WITH YOUR FRIENDS IS BETTER THAN THERAPY. I BELIEVE HAPPY GIRLS ARE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS. I BELIVE STRONG IS PRETTY!

You go girls... and guys!

    Thanks all! Really, If I can do this, so can you! I'll be 48 years old in a few months and am in better shape than I was in my 30's!
    I have more time for me!!!! So no excuses, get out there and excercise!

    AWESOME job! Has running been the focal point of your journey or have you focused on other aspects?

    I'm trying to learn how to run. Seems like a bigger challenge, but you have to start somewhere, right?

    48 yo? From the 3rd pic, I'd say 38 at most! Well done!

    Yes, I started out walking... I've always been a pretty quick walker, but then was walking so fast, my legs were hurting... so started the Couch to 5K. I'll be honest... I never finished the program. I got into the 3rd week and hit the pavement and could actually run farther than what was prompted on the C25K program... so walked and ran until now, I run almost everyday anywhere from 2 to 5 miles. I sometimes end up walking for a bit - I run a couple of really good hills, so I run up them and on bad days allow myself to walk for a short bit and then run again. But I figure, at least I'm out exercising!!!!
