Just had to brag a little, I have been running for a bit but I just completed my first race this weekend, my time wasn't fantastic but it wasn't bad either (35:26). Here I was before -

And here I am, a sweaty mess at the end of the race -

    Wow! I just saw you lost 165 lbs (on your ticker). That's amazing! If I wouldn't have seen your before picture, I would have thought you were one of those skinny runners who have been thin all their lives! Congrats!

    That's fantastic! And a better time than I usually get, and I've done 5 or 6 5ks. Keep up the amazing work!
