Spanx is now making workout stuff that holds the muffin top in. Just got an email from them about it the other day -- check the web site. For me, I have the arm flappies which there is no cure for - yet. Not til I get to goal and see the plastics guy.
So maybe it's because you WANT to run? I know before I didn't want to be active. I idea of running wasn't remotely on my list. Of course the weight loss helps.
The mental game that's needed for WLS is high interest and desire for loss, I think a similarly having a high desire to do activity helps a lot.

The cake is a lie, but Starbucks is not.
I love the hobbit legs comment. I'm 5'2" as well. I think my boss is about 6'2". Sometimes we have to walk across campus together for meetings. I used to REALLY struggle to keep up and was completely out of breath. Now I often lead the pace and can comfortably carry on a conversation as we walk. DH and I walk a 3 mile loop together when we can fit it in our schedule. He's only a little taller than me but has always walked very fast. I used to always have to tell him to slow down, now it's sometimes the other way around. Keep up the great work!
Surgery Date June 3, 2016
HW: 329 W at first consult 290. SW 238, LW 128, CW 139
I didn't exercise after my surgery (but I had 3 children under 3 yo so that's prob why lol) and I lost all of my weight. But as it crept back on from no activity, I started running! I too did the C25K and HATED it at first. I hated to run! but I did it anyway (the first week was awful, I can remember). I ended up getting to where I'd run a 3K almost every day. Then I joined a spin class at my local gym. I loved every bit of it. Needed a change and now for 2 years, I do Crossfit and LOVE it. And I still run :) It's definitely do able! Keep it up!

I use my iPhone (and before that, a used iPod) with music from iTunes. If I'm not wearing a coat with pockets that I can stuff my phone into, I use this Slim Fit Sports Belt. That also holds id and a house key, which is nice.
I found that regular earbuds constantly had one ear not working or cutting in and out -- I went through maybe 4 pairs before I got fed up and switched to a bluetooth headset. Mpow Sweatproof Sport Headphones
