Ugh.<br /><br />CONGRATS on doing so well with the C25K, and keep up the good work. Running is a great way to burn those calories.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242107654058014740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809492805425250996.post-49149372636880494482010-03-18T10:23:39.265-04:002010-03-18T10:23:39.265-04:00I don't know how you could be so hard on yours...I don't know how you could be so hard on yourself. I look at these pictures and honestly see this gorgeous smile & sparkling eyes. Granted, the happiness in your newer "after" pictures reflects this even more, but girl... you have such sass and personality and joy in you, it just makes you glow.Manic Pixie Dream Sluthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16083090390604114658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809492805425250996.post-36405720880510174362010-03-18T09:43:28.477-04:002010-03-18T09:43:28.477-04:00I have some shocking pics of me from before I was ...I have some shocking pics of me from before I was first banded - but now I look back and go .. wow.. was I really that big.

(But you did look pretty cute!)<br /><br />The c25k is awesome. That is how I got into running like 7 years ago and it changed my life (even if I never lost the weight permanently). There's just something about being able to run. Our bodies were meant to do it! Good for you doing it!!!!!!!Genhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11414571860592267584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8809492805425250996.post-36923163520890376612010-03-18T09:05:45.510-04:002010-03-18T09:05:45.510-04:00OMG!

I did it a few years ago and will be doing it again when I "am on the other side". <br /><br />I agree with BG as the pictures sometimes tell a better story than the # on the scale.
