  • Thanks for the replies! I realized after the fact that I'm done with stage 2 :) But it's good for future reference!
  • You are experiencing a perfectly normal thought process after losing a lot of weight. I struggled with it for months. I was even considering therapy at one point because I just couldn't see or feel the 100 pound difference. It's hard for someone that hasn't lost a lot of weight to understand. I lost 100 pounds but still…

Moving my wedding rings from my finger to a necklace because they flew off every time I moved my hand 5. My own grandma not recognizing me at Thanksgiving
  • Now in Defiance, Ohio, but orginally from Lancaster :)
  • I was nervous when I started C25K last year. I cried on the first day because I couldn't even finish three of the eight one-minute runs. But I kept going. I had to repeat some weeks because I couldn't finish them. Fast forward: I finished, ran my first race, and now I'm addicted to running! I'm hoping to find a 10K to do…
