        Nova - What an achievement - Herculean even! Wow! Are you both runners?

        Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done. 

        Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.

                    I'm new here, but thought I'd share what led me here.  The before picture is me on Jan. 7, 2012 at 258lbs.  The after is me on Jan. 3 at 155lbs.  I still have about 10lbs more to go.  I've been using running and strength training as my exercise of choice.  I've done a couple of 5Ks and I'm working toward a half marathon for this April.  You'll see me around the forums looking for encouragement and advice.

                      Just so I get this straight...you lost 103lbs in just under a year?

                       

                      I'm speechless....  Shocked

                                Robin, you lost 10 years from your face in that year!  You look like the 2012 you's baby sister!
