9 months out; Before/after pics (below goal!)

Hello Everyone!

I am still plugging along and enjoying the sleeved life.  I would like to loose a little bit more before I hit maintenance.  I have been fluctuating between 153 and 156 for 3 weeks so I am not sure if I am done or not.  We'll see.  I am 5 ft 8 3/4 inches.  I want to be in the middle of the BMI chart or lower just to give myself some leeway.  I love to run now.  I have a 15K this weekend.  I ran a 10K last month and ran it in 1 hour flat.  It was amazing!  I read posts almost daily and love to read how everyone is doing.  Enjoy the pictures!

Gorgeous!  Just gorgeous!!!!  LOVE the white capris on you...the difference is stunning!  Thanks for sharing your pix...

Well thanks!  I actually love love love these pants!  They are my size 10s!  From a 24 to a 10 so far.  I feel prettier in these!  I wish I could go buy more but I have spent so much in almost every size down that I am waiting to see if I will be an 8 one day, haha!

Congrats!! Your pics look great!! I have always wanted to be a runner and love hearing stories about those who took up running after being sleeved! Keep it up!

Running is a great release for me!  I have done 5 5K's, 1 10K, and this 15K kinda scares me, haha.  I have 2 more 5Ks this year.  I want to do a half marathon but am not sure yet.  I am so competitive with myself that I refuse to take a break during a race.  Until then I won't sign up.  Weird I know.  

Did you run before? I have always HATED running, but have always wanted to love it. (I know it doesn't make a lot of sense. I have, like, almost a phobia of running.)

I liked to run in the military but I ran only 2-3 miles then.  Now I do at least 3-4 or up to 6.5.  I have to run 9.3 this weekend!  Wish me luck, lol.  I love it now!!!

WTG! Thanks for sharing and I'm hoping I can run a 5K next year with my daughter, its 1 of my reasons for getting surgery. Congrats!

You can do it!  It is an amazing feeling!  Good luck!

Looking amazing!
