My Before & After - 61 lbs lost w/pics! Yay!!

Congratulations on the payoff for all your hard work and thanks for posting your story!!! I have a specific question about running even though your feet used to go numb, since mine do this. Did that ever stop and if so, do you know why, or how to lessen it? My trainer said to increase fatty acid consumption but so far that has not been effective.
Thanks!

Good question!!

Yeah, it basically completely stopped. I'm not positive about the reason why, but this is my theory. First of all, a small part of it might be because I had already lost so much weight when I started running about a month and a half ago. What I think might have made the biggest difference was that I changed the way I run. Any time I had run in the past I was ALWAYS a heel-striker (landing on my heel first, like when you walk). When I went on my first run this time around I consciously went out focusing on landing on the middle/ball of my foot first (before I went out on my run I did a quick google search of different methods of running). I feel sooooo much lighter on my feet running this way, I feel the impact is MUCH less. That's the only thing I can think of. I really haven't had ANY foot numbness issues since I've been running now and it's AMAZING, since it had really been prohibitive in the past!

Good job! Congratulations!!! how many dress sizes did you lose???

Oh geez, I'm not even sure what I had gotten up to, I hated shopping, lol. I was probably at least a 16, maybe 18. Now I'm around a 6!!! Today I was wearing a pair of dress pants from the Juniors department that were a size 5!!!

Oh, and 38 DD to 36 D, and tops L or XL down to S or M!
