I might be overweight, but....

Awesome Awesome Awesome Way to go Alison, I'm so happy for you. I LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE and look forward to running the same race in just 27 days.
As we cross the finish line, we need to head to the closest Starbucks and I'll treat you to a coffee drink.
P.S. Stay focused and continue to follow your dreams.

Watching your transformation has been awe inspiring! Unstoppable...and Ms. Shell, if you are reading this...woop woop..go girl!

You are such an inspiration!  Thank you for sharing your journey.  I admire your perseverance!

YAY Allison! So very proud of you and inspired by you!

 Im almost crying after all these responses - every day, each of you pushes me to keep trying - I've been soooo ready to give up for a while now, but I'm hanging on by a thread - thanks to all of you!!!

You are a rockstar and amazing!  Love ya girl!

Woo hoo!!  Rockstar status!  I'm so very proud of you and for you!

Oh my gosh!!! I love the pictures and your story!! I have to say I'm envious, but only in a good way! My goal is to do a 10K this Thanksgiving and I've been training, but not as much as I should. I'm okay with a walk/run type thing for now...

...with that said, once I get up to running all the way through (slowly, too!), you can have a running buddy here in MI! You are an inspiration and keep on trucking! Screw the BMI - you rock!!

Alison, Do you know how amazing you are? Wow! I am sooo proud and suuuper happy for you! You are such a skinny Minnie, omg, you look fantastic! I have never done anything like this in my life, it must feel soo good and empowering once you cross the finish line. I sooo want to join you one day but only if you take it easy on me ,lol jk. Once again my friend, Congrats Superwoman! Love ya girl
