My first real 5K run after graduating the C25K program
This morning I did a 5K charity run to benefit the Children's Miracle Network. I finished in a respectable (for me) 27 minutes, 10th overall, and third in my age group. I realize this wasn't a "serious race" or I would have come in much further behind the pack leaders, but considering that 6 months ago I could barely…

80 lbs lost
Today I officially passed the 80lb lost mark! I think (hope) I've finally broken through a plateau after spending the past month stuck at 192-195 lbs.

Milestone: Finally under 200 lbs
For the first time in at least a decade (maybe 15 years) I've dropped below 200 pounds, 199.5 as of this week's weigh in. I started my journey in November of last year at 270 lbs. I was motivated after a trip to Alaska last summer where I was sidelined from many of the activities because I simply couldn't handle the…

Work in progress..
I'm about 20 pounds from my goal of 195 pounds. I thought I would post some before and after (in progress) pictures. 57 pounds lost and counting. Before: 270 pounds or so (I was actively avoiding scales and mirrors at the time). After: 213 pounds, about 20 pounds to my goal weight. I hope I linked these pics correctly.
