Muse ... that is such an extraordinary change and should be an inspiration to anyone who doubts it is possible. Amazing. Well done.

Muse...you really don't look like the same person. Not even half like her. Great discipline. My daughter came home from soccer today with Krispy Kreme donuts and after reading this, I am off for a run! |

In college, we often joked about doing a run "back from Krispy Kreme" - after cross country ended one year, a few of us decided to try it.
Between the four of us that ran, we ate 52 donuts. We each got a free one, and we bought 4 dozen. I ate I think 15 of them.
The run was only about 4 or 5 miles, but I'm the only one that didn't puke at all on the way. One guy had to throw up 3 times. College was great; I had an iron stomach. I felt fine, although I did have to use the rest room when we got back.
As far as I know, they haven't done that run since. |

I just started using Twitter - anybody else on there? http://twitter.com/BlaineMoore
"Slow down--if you wanted that time, you should have run faster during the rest of the race!" I wish I'd been there to hear that as the line started forming in front of the finish line. No idea what I'd have done about it, but I wish I'd heard it in person instead of 3rd party. |

I'm just going to say "WOW" to y'all. Having the courage to step up and make a positive change in your life can be difficult. It takes a while to gain that weight and many people aren't patient enough to understand that it takes time for it to come off.

| Well done Peach. I like you had a dramatic change, and this year I intend to change some more. Stay tuned folks for an even slimmer me coming soon. |

I'll throw my pics in.
The first one is from May (or so) of 2004. I was around 270 lbs. My biggest was 274.

This one is from around August of 2006. I was weighing 190 to 195.

I am currently in the 180-185 range. Just bumping around there.
