My before and after... from couch slob to a half marathoner.

Not to be weird but it looks like your boobs are half the size!! You look great! I bet you feel totally different too!
 
what a difference. Was bored so i did a side by side for you

WOW! You look awesome. You are such an inspiration for me. I have just started running about a few months ago and I have been getting frustrated lately because I haven't been losing much weight. After seeing your pics, I am motivated again! :)
 
Thank you so much guys. I feel as though it isn't much judging by the amazing effort of others! If I had the discipline I would diet too. Having said that...I have tried diets in the past and have put the weight back on in a matter of months, even weeks. I find as though I am keeping the weight off better by not fixating on 'diets'.

Keep running, I find it easier to log my runs... I struggled on a 16k run once, I got so mad at myself until I went back and re-read my log for the first run of my life. (I couldn't even run to the end of my road!) I so regained my motivation.


Thank you for putting the pics side by side. :)
 
Wow- you look awesome!! Funny that you didn't notice the abs- it's amazing what shows up in a picture that you don't notice in a mirror. Great job! And yes, it's just as much of a struggle to lose when you're only about 20 lbs from your goal. You really need to work HARD for those few pounds (I'm in the same situation, but only about halfway done.)
 
Long time no post... Just wanted you all to know that I'm still going strong.


I have complete 8 half marathons in total since 2007 and will be running my first marathon in May next year.


I haven't lost much weight but I have gained a lot of muscle from regular exercise. I will post a pic soon.


I just wanted to give a shout out to everyone on this forum, no matter your size or ability, you are all an inspiration to me.


There are days when I do not feel like exercising and I seem to fight a constant battle with my self doubts... however I have to keep reminding myself that someone out there, some greater power has given me the ability to keep going. There are many people who lack the ability to keep going, whether it's through disability, self sabotage or lack of support around them. I am thankful that I have a great family and this awesome forum to keep me going.


Don't give up!
