    Congrats to you. I too was a smoker that spent more free time on the couch than off it. And I'm a runner now as well!

    Incredible. Here I was walking beside you all this time and I didn't realize the extent of your journey or the awesomeness of the victory. All I can say is WOW and I'm glad we're friends and I hope some of whatever you got rubs off on me!

    Oh thank you all soooooooooooo much for all these compliments.
    Woohoooo, it's been a long long time ago that somebody called me hot :bigsmile:
    Yes, I feel absolutely great and healthy, I will stick to my healthy diet and to logging my cals.
    I couldn't have done this without my ever so supporting MFP friends from all over the world. Guys, you and your compliments made my tears...like... wet...or so:smooched:
    I got quite a few messages from pals asking what my secret was/is:
    cardio and resistance. Oh, how I love the Jillian Michaels workouts. Thank you Jillian, without you I wouldn't have these strong arms:heart: and yes, I hate push ups and lunges but I do them .
    Thanks again for all your kind words. That means a lot to me:flowerforyou:

    After 6 months I've not only reached my goal of losing almost 50 pounds but also ticked a few more boxes:
    I quit smoking in November last year, got the cholesterol down to a very healthy level, I'm not depressed any more and I've started running. And guess what ... I'm feeling strong and healthy.
    BTW: I did NOT gain weight when I quit!!!

    my 50th birthday in 2009, 185 pounds
    before.jpg

    today before my run, 136 pounds

    I couldn't imagine that your transformation was so INSPIRING!!!
    Honey, you look sooooo much younger!!!! So healthy! I can stop admiring you!!! You ROCK GIRL!!!
    I've seen other pictures on your profile that looks like your recent "YOU" but I really couldn't imagine the how the before Cno looked like!!
    Such a great transform! Such a great dedication!!! :noway: :love: :love: :noway: :noway: :noway: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
