Callie, I know how much work and determination it takes to loose all that weight. Not many people succeed and even fewer manage to keep it off. Congratulations and keep on running! I am glad MSN is featuring success stories like yours. Your story will surely inspire a lot of people. Ewa

Callie - I think that you are wonderful! How fantastic that you're story is now going to be read by so mnay others. I bet those that teased you when you were young for your weight will see you now on MSN and I hope they feel both shame and jealousy. Thanks for the link Trentie. And girl you are looking just awesome in that white dress! Claire xxx

And they should be jealous....I'm sure most of them couldn't run a sub-4hr marathon.

WOW Callie!! You are truly an inspiration. And as I read your story, I saw myself in the "I'm doing everything right" and wanting quicker results. Blush

You have officially shamed me into turning myself back around on this ugly weight gain trend!! WTG, Callie!!! And I agree...you look hot!! Big grin

Wow! Front Page! Great story! At least, you made the front page for something good. Thanks for sharing this with us. I share the sentiments of the previous posters. You achieved an awesome marathon time. I have not even run one, yet. How soon after you starting to run did you partake in this marathon? July 2005 to January 2006? Year and a half about? 3 weeks ago, I read up on gal in USA today who went from mid-200’s (pounds) down and is now doing Olympic style triathlons! I like inspirational stories like yours and this one. My sister told me a long time ago as adults we forget as get out and play.
