wow kate, loving the before and after piccies, and you look great =)

Inspired by Binty - my before and after

Work ID - so blurred. Never let any other photos be taken!! Miserable, uncomfortable, self-hating!







A few pounds down - happier!






And now!

OMG!!! Did you accidentally post the wrong pics? It is almost unbeleivable how different you look!  What a fabulous result!!!

And I bet your daily life is so much more fun!   kate

 I love that!  I will join you!  Roar!!!!!  Obesity better be scared!!! 

 I did it, I did it, I did it - I finished my 30 day running plan.  I did not deviate from the plan and for my reward, today I ran for 2 miles without stopping, and I still had plenty to give. I've entered a 5k fun run to keep me motivated omg seems kinda surreal.

So to remind me where I've come from I've finally found the courage (just) to post my real before pictures  and some updated ones to celebrate passing my halfway mark, and achieving my running goals.  Sorry all for the super tight running vest, but they are expensive and I don't have the luxury to keep buying (and the nature reserve that I run round is very quiet), so its all on show!!!

Piccies are on my profile as I can't get them to paste here

This is me about 2 weeks before surgery 21st 4lbs (298lbs) I look tired and unhealthy and everything was an effort.  I had to grit my teeth and plaster on a smile to have these taken for the record.  One day I'll look at these and be proud at how far I've come.

5 mths in, and down 81lbs, I feel so much better, and no longer feel like I should wear an apology on my shirt.  (Shhhhhh a side profile is a lot less flattering, but don't tell anyone)

On this day I completed my 30 day running plan and ran 2 miles non stop - 5 months ago I couldn't even tell you if I could run for more than 10 seconds.  Still a long way to go, but life has already changed.  My partner loves me in this top hmmmmm wonder what 2 things affect that!!!
