NSV's still happening EVEN at GOAL baby! Pics!
Remember this woman? Weighed 390 pounds with a BMI of 59.6
I DO! She never wanted to get off the couch....she could hardly walk a block down the street without feeling like she got the wind punched out of her. She had excuses....so many excuses not to be active!
Who would think that less than 15 months post-op she'd be crossing the finish line of her first ever 10km race! Not only that but finishing in a better time than more than HALF of the other participants.
I ran my first 10KM race yesterday WITH a stomach virus AND on only 2 hours of sleep! Imagine what I could have accomplished in a rested and physically healthy state!
I am now in maintenance (well trying to figure out maintenance but still losing weight lol)...I am 12.8 pounds below my goal of 150 pounds and 5'9 inches tall - YES I grew an entire inch in height after surrendering my weight! I ran the race with my mom's husband!
Weighing 137.2 with a BMI of 20.2!
And here is me...happy and more relaxed after the race and about to eat some post-race lunch with my husband! Self Portrait!

OMG!! You look fabulous, amazing, wonderful, fantastic!! I could go on and on but I will refrain! :-) You look so tiny in those running clothes. I am so inspired by you. I have started trying to jog and find it so hard but when I actually do it for a little bit, I feel so great after. I want so badly to be able to run also.
You should be so excited and so proud of yourself. You are amazing!!

I'm just amazed. I'm sitting here going through SO many posts today, because I'm feeling like "That will never be me" - and your post made me realize that you probably felt that way at some point.
Thank you for being inspiring. You look both wonderful AND happy. :)
