Finding myself lurking again, before and after pic to break the habbit

lol Sounds Great. It really is all about the pose.

You look fantastic. Congrats on your success and you running. Good luck on the marathon

I do feel like I'm on the road to success. Thanks

Congrats on your weight loss and new found pleasure in running.

Just a bit further to go, in running and weight loss lol

Hey Heather, great to see your post and your pics are amazing.  You look fantastic!!  I get the tendency to lurk - I also check daily but don't always post.  Way to go with the running!!  I recently started the walk run type of exercise but am not sure if i really want to be a 'runner'.  It seems like a lot of work.  LOL..

Thanks Steph. It does honestly get easier. In the beginning my legs were strong but cardio vascular was weak. I would be so out of breath so quick. Just keep at it and it will get better.

What a tremendous difference from then to now. You certainly look to be in great shape and spirits as well. Congratulations on your transformation and the great effort you've put into getting from there to here. 

It is an effort. I know some people who knew about my surgery thought I was "taking the easy way out". I know that some of them have revised their opinions now that they know of my running. Funny how word gets out. lol Some have even said that to me directly. All taken with a grain of salt. People will always compare, new you vs old you, you vs someone else who had the surgery. I guess it's the nature of the beast.

Anyway, thank you for your words. I do feel fantastic and a *****eeky sometimes . Hence the pose lol

WOW you look amazing- congrats on your success to date....I have never been a runner so that is not something that I have ever aspired to do but on Sat. when I took the dogs for a walk I found myself jogging for short bits of time-WHAT!! so who knows- maybe I will joing the runners yet...Johanna
