4 mos out and life has changed! (With pics!)

I'm down 85 pounds - 30 to go. And I'm RUNNING. I can't believe how awesome I feel.

You look like the first pic's daughter.

WOW!!! You look AMAZING great job!!! I can't wait until I hit 4 months!! Sleeved in early Dec down over 30lbs but right now it seems slow moving...

Keep up the great work!

How long have you been running if you don't mind me asking?

Wow. Is that the same person!!? Fantastic results! Great job!! Encouraging.

Onedaycloser, I started Couch to 5K training four weeks ago. I ran/walked a 5k in 30 minutes this weekend! Let me tell you, with my history of bad knees I NEVER thought this could happen. I love the surprises in this journey!

WOW you look terRIFic! Congratulations! I am so envious!

I also have bad knees, and I haven't even considered running. What made you decide it was worth a try? I'm afraid of my worse one giving way, and then I'd fall, get all banged up, maybe even hurt the knee more. Any words of wisdom?

You look fabulous! Congratulations! :)

JeanZ, I was bored with walking and I LOVE being outside. Plus my dog was getting fat!! I looked at a couch to 5K program and saw the first week was only running for 60 seconds at a time. I promised myself I would give it two weeks and see how it went. Just try it. If it's not for you, then no harm done. It's about getting out there and having a sense if adventure!! Go as slow as you need to!

I am super impressed with you and you are my new (s)hero..... I have been contemplating c25k and honestly it seems daunting. I'm still really overweight. Although, I can walk a couple miles with no problem, I worry my joints will rebel! But you have given me some motivation.

You've done remarkably well!!! Congrats!

Awwww.. That's a first! A shero! Remember you can do week one more than once. Just move at your own pace. There's a Zombies! Run! App that takes you through a story if a zombie apocalypse as you do the c25k. I might switch to that one. Sounds fun!

Hot Damn lady...you look gorgeous! But even cooler than your looks is the fact that you just completed a 5k! You must be so amazed and proud of yourself. That is one of my deepest desires...to be the hot mamma who is jogging through the park on a regular basis. You are inspirational!

You look great! I can't wait to be four months out...hoping to have results like yours!

Congratulations you are off to a terrific start!!

Can you please provide more details on the program? I'm not a runner however I've always desired to be 1
