I have lost 85 lbs from my highest weight of 302. I am now 217. I went from a size 22-24 to 14-16. I feel so much better mentally and physically. I started training for a 5K run last week. It is going to be at the end of January. I am very excited. I have had a lot of support from you folks on this forum and I'd like to thank you. I have 40 lbs to goal. I will be hanging around here for a while longer.

That's fantastic about the 5k!!! My goal is to be able to run one next October. I did that particular race in 2011 and completed it in 46 tubba lubba minutes. It was really hard to do but I wanted to try and get into running. I obviously didn't keep up with it. It's so hard carrying all this weight and running. I told my physically fit sister who runs 5ks often to imagine herself running and carrying both of her boys (5 and 9 yr olds).

85 lbs is fantastic! You'll definitely lose that 40 you're trying to get rid of by running. You look phenomenal too!! Just showed my husband your before and afters and he said "wow she clearly works out!!"

You look beautiful! Great job.

You have beautiful blue eyes that are so visible now.
