YAYYYY!! So inspiring!!!! :) :) :) Great job!

Update us on how your next one goes!

BADASS!!!!! I love it. Nice job :)

DUDE Nice job!!!!! Super inspiring :)

I loved seeing this thread today because I just learned this important information last week, after already being in marathon training for several weeks. So it's been kinda blowing my mind the past few days as I tweak my training schedule. Three days ago was my first long run where I forced myself to go stay in my aerobic…

I'm not done yet, but I'm getting there:

I've never carried anything, but I will probably start doing so. I just moved to a rough area (it's supposed to be "up and coming") and although I'm only a few blocks from nice parts of town... in those "few blocks" it takes to get there I'm such a target. This neighborhood has clearly never seen a neon-wearing blonde…

Yo - my first marathon is in October 2014 and I'm surviving Higdon Novice 2 training so far. I would love some long distance runner friends, possibly a few with an Oct-ish marathon as well. I'd love to have someone to talk to about these intense saturday morning sessions and whatnot!

For me, it signals that I was dehydrated. Not just like morning-of , but it means I didn't drink enough the several days leading up.

This so so amazing - thank you for reposting for the rest of us!! You are wonderful! Keep spreading your positivity!! :) :)

Wow, awesome work!! You must feel great!

WOW!!! Amazing!!! Congrats to you!!!!! :) :)

GREAT JOB and I love your enthusiasm :)

YOU ARE AWESOME! :)

CONGRATS!!! I'm assuming you are also 5'7 since 159 is your healthy BMI weight - I feel a special kindredness for other 5'7 gals :) You have done great so far, keep it up! You'll get there!!

wow you look amazing!!! Great work!!!

Well this is uncomfortable, but I'm having a good day:

YES! Mine's almost gone. I'm 5'7. It wasn't as noticeable when I was 224 lbs, it just blended in with all my fat. When I got down to 180-160 it became much more obvious because so much other fat was gone, it just left the apron. It was awful! Now that I'm working through the 150's I'm getting much closer to a healthy body…

So awesome!!!!!! :) :) :)

hahaha.. YAY! :)

Wow, you look so different!!! Great job!!!!

11 months - lost the tire around my belly! Edit to say I just realized I commented on this thread 9 months ago and said that it was inspiring to me :)

Huge change!!! You look great! :) congrats - thx for posting!

It's really inspiring for me to see stories that take longer than just 6 months because you really took the time to get healthy and strong and now it's sustainable. I appreciate that so much. Congratulations!
