    Before, this was 270-something lbs. The second shot is from today at the gym. 174.8!!

    I'm 5'8". I'm 31 years old and Mom of three kids, ages 6, 3, and 1.

    Current routine: I run 6-7 days/week, and lift weights 2-3x/week. Eat less crap, drink more water.

    Current goal: 145-160lbs, resting at whichever number I feel strong, faster, and healthy. To be determined when I get there. :-)

    EDITED:
    I've gotten like 10 messages asking how I did it or how I got started. Here you go...

    Let's see. A year ago this week I had a debilitating spinal cord injury due to a herniated disc. I had emergency surgery and was in a rehab hospital for almost a month because I was paralyzed from the waist down. It's a miracle I regained sensation as much as I have. The neurosurgeon said the best way to prevent this from happening again is to lose weight and strengthen my core. So I took him VERY seriously.

    The first day I walked a quarter mile around my neighborhood, with a CANE! I just kept at it, every single day. Walking longer, farther, faster, adding in jogging after a few months, then walking with running, and now full on running.

    The key for me has been consistency.

    this right here is what i call inspiration! absolutely wonderful! such a strong woman!

    Way to go! I am 20 years older than you, but it is funny how much our looks are the same. I have the same goal weight and the same height. You are such an inspiration, congrats on your success and keep it up.

    OMG!! SO sorry that happened to you, but maybe it was a miracle in disquise! I have about as much as you did to lose. My question is how did you tighten up? I'm walking a lot now...losing at a pretty good pace and hoping in a few weeks to start some kind of strength training...but not sure what to do. If you could give me some pointers? Thank you for posting! I have found another inspirational person! <3

    Wow!! You have really inspired me. I had surgery on my back, decompression of the nerve. Not quite as serious as yours and I'm not at the running stage yet,, but with your inspiration I know there's hope. So I will keep plugging at my brisk walking until I make it to the jog. Thanks! :flowerforyou:
