I live in Gastonia, close enough though right???

I'm doing my first half in a few weeks and Warrior Dash in May! :) Good luck on your runs!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! You've done amazing and YES you are a poster child for the benefits of weight loss! Wonderful job and YAY a fellow runner :) I've lost just shy of 50 lbs this past year and was NEVER a runner. I ran my first 5K in Sept and am now training for my first half marathon...eeeeeeekkkkk.....it's in a few…

Thanks everyone! :)

Thanks everyone :)

hahaha it's snug and I'm not quite half just yet but I can squeeze into one leg of my pants :) I apologize for my untanned belly lol I will be wearing a bikini for the first time in 10 years this summer :) so hopefully it'll match the rest of me this summer!

YES! Keep a pair! I threw out EVERYTHING and now regret it. I accidently kept these and when I found them was so thankful! Now they are intentionally kept lol

I must now go try this! LMAO

Thanks everyone! I still can't believe that's me! LOL

I'm 5'2" and was 197 when I delivered my son in 2009! I totally know what you mean by feeling like the blueberry girl!

Congrats! I'm 26 and getting married Oct 20, 2012 :) I am in school and will finally be able to apply for the nursing program in the fall. I feel like I'll never be done! LOL My advice: I already got my wedding dress. The sample I tried on was a 12 and didn't fit in the bust, so I got the 14. Kind of regretting that now.…

Awesome job!!

You look wonderful!!!!!!

I have already begun to flirt with the idea being a 6 :/ IDK though. I want to see how I feel at an 8 because I'm happy already and I'm a 10. I just know that I would like to loose a little more. So maybe at an 8 I will feel like I'm finally done. I play it by ear LOL. I started with a goal of 150 and a size 12, maybe 10…

I bought the Polar FT4. It's WONDERFUL!!! Thanks everyone!

SO glad I found this thread! I was just eyeing the FT4 on Amazon! It's $70.....thinking that's the one!

I am just like you! I run and do 3DS (just tried yoga meltdown tonight) I need a HRM with the same exact features!

Thanks :)

YES they are. THANK GOD! I was a G and begging for mercy lol. They were huge from breastfeeding (I quit nursing a month before the left pic) and just with diet and exercise they came back down to the DD I was before pregnancy. I am wearing my pre baby bras again, good thing I saved them ;) Breasts contain a lot fat so with…

Thank you so much everyone!!! If it wasn't for these before after pix I would be convinced I haven't changed that much. But when I compare, I get so excited!!!

HAHAHAHA It did! I breastfed my son for 14 mths and the left pic was about a month after I quit nursing. I am SO glad to be back to my pre baby bra!!!!

Love you Kori!!!!! <3

Aside from my two year old, I'm always the shortest lol. I started March of last year but honestly this could have been done faster. I had rough weeks and plateaus that slowed me down but I'm human lol I can't be perfect all day every day. Every once in awhile I fall off the wagon but I'm sooooo close to my goal! My first…

RUNNING! My best friend ;) my legs have never been this toned, not even in high school. Although I'm still fighting saddle bags, my legs are def one of my fav improved areas!

Thanks everyone

Thanks :) I'm all of 5'2" lol I'm VERY short. I use 30DS and I started with walking and now I run :)

Your story is so similar to so many, however, you're ready to do something about it and not just complain! That is amazing. I was pretty well overweight, I wouldn't say knocking on deaths door but def needing to drop some weight. Found myself getting winded and harder to move around. That was a year ago. Now I'm training…

Oh thank goodness!!! A trainer who doesn't hate running LOL!!!! You're my new BFF!! ;) I have never been one to stretch but since feeling these aches I have been adding a little bit of stretching after my run. I do almond or soy milk now, is that still not enough calcium? I also take calcium supplements though. I take Fish…

Ohhh no LOL Shred and I have a love affair. When I first started this weight loss journey I started with Shred and walking. Walking progressed to running. That has been my approach the whole time till this semester. I added in my aerobics class and now the half training. But I think taking out Shred will def be my first…

That was going to be my approach :) I was thinking time to boot Shred. Sucks because I love it so much but I will get my cross training on Mon and Wed at school then I think I will do Yoga on Friday for my cross training instead of running :) I agree though, when running properly there should be no injury! I may be doing…
