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!

    Wow. You are amazing! Was running your exercise of choice while losing weight? What kinds of things helped you succeed? Any tips you'd like to pass on for those who are just starting our journeys? I'll be completing my first 5k in June. I'm still very overweight, but I'm enjoying my running and it's fun to have a goal to work towards (other than weight loss).
