5K WAS A SUCCESS! Had an amazing time and it was surprisingly super easy for me! I didn't want to stop hahah

Thank you everyone! It really does mean a lot!

[/quote] Congrats! You look hot af. Can't wait until I hit the 100 pounds gone forever! :) Here's mine. [/quote] Thank you!!! You also look great and keep up the awesome work!

That is an awesome NSV!!! I wanna look awesome and young! Well hopefully I look young as I am only 22...23 in November! haha Healthy eating and exercise is like the fountain of youth. ;)

Thank you!!! :D

Thank you! I actually just got it done and the lightest I have been...like ever! haha I am debating whether I should keep lightening it over the months until it is completely blonde or just stay with it having a mix of darker colors in it.

Going to see if I can edit the post to add an updated comparison photo I did this morning. So embarrassing 0-o

Thank you so much everyone!!! It really does mean a lot and gives me even more motivation! For those who have asked, I have not done a specific "diet" or exercise program. I just eat healthy, count calories, and do what I enjoy which is mostly running and some strength exercises.

Hahaha Love it! Man, it sounds horrible! ;)

I am a year and 2 months in. I went from 267, morbidly obese class 2, to 144 which is in healthy range for my height of 5'7. I still am wanting to lose another 10 or so pounds and then gain some muscle. I honestly know EXACTLY what you are talking about. My entire day is what am I going to eat, how many calories is it, is…

occasionally

I just eat healthy and count calories :smile: This definitely doesn't mean I don't give in to the junk every now and then. I just try to stay or fit them under my calorie goals when I do have them occassionally.

I really hope it is lit enough to run! It is going to be in our city park so I am guessing they will be using the street lights along the sidewalks...I guess I will find out when we get there :/

Thank you everyone!! I definitely don't plan on the 5K being my last. I can't wait to keep making progress!

Wow! You look amazing! Very inspirational!

What do you guys think about the outfit I decided on? It is supposed to be around 45 degrees Fahrenheit with possible rain. I got a thin track jacket, a very thin long sleeve athletic top, and a pair of athletic pants. Too much? I am worried I will be freezing to death at the start and finish because afterwards is an after…

Thank you! It definitely means a lot! I am getting remotivated and back on track after falling off the past two weeks! This 5K and comparing has definitely helped!

Thank you for all the feedback everyone! I know I will be a nervous wreck the day of but will have so much fun once it starts! I am going to wear my heart rate monitor and GPS sports watch to record my time for my own personal satisfaction. I am just going to do my best! :D

Thank you so much for your help everyone! Keep any advice you have coming and I will be doing everything you all have said! I just registered so that I can't chicken out and am going shopping for some pants later as all I have is running shorts which I doubt would be warm enough for and I need to get some glow sticks and…

I think it is a local fundraiser as a local business is doing it and has other local businesses sponsoring it. They are donating the money and so far 150+ people has registered which also makes me nervous there won't be a lot of people there to drowned me out. The registration is $30 but I get the ticket for $22. Not…

Also, thank you to anyone who has or is answering questions and giving advice!

I guess I just don't want to disappoint myself in how crappy I may do. haha I am going to buy the ticket tonight and hopefully go shopping tomorrow for what I will wear. Any recommendations on what to do with a water bottle? Id rather not bring a bag to have to run with but I also do not want to be carrying it the entire…

I gained 2 or 3 pounds from this weeks "binges." sigh I ended up not cutting calories to make up for them and gained. Back on track today and back to being strict!

Wow! This was my post when this thread was started. I am now down to 151! Any other previous posters still going strong?

I swear, I do not know what has happened to me. I have went a year without a big cheat or binge and get 1 pound from my goal...and then binge not once...but twice in a 3 week period! Very frustrating and I feel guilty so I cut the next day or so.

Hopefully this is not another dumb question, but once I do get to my goal weight, how do I know how much to raise my calorie intake? I am very afraid of raising it and then gaining fat rather than muscle. Also, how do you know you are doing enough strength exercises to build muscle on the excess calories?

Unlucky for me, my son is 4 so he is out of that stage so eating leftovers are really easy. hahaha I completely agree with the second part also!!
