Amazing what a good dose of regular exercise will do for the body

Are they still chasing you?

Great transformation, congrats! I run a lot...and I also eat like a maniac so there really hasn't been much change for me. You inspire.

I have the urge to make a forrest gump joke, but i'll just settle for a very hearty congratulations OP, you did great work!
notamurder
I'm sorry to have to break the news to you. It appears you have Benjamin Button disease. You unfortunately have a long life ahead of you.
servingmytimeinusersub
Damn.... It took decades off you

She jogging backwards in time?

Tell me more how did you start
KrisPhoenix
My grandma started running 1km every day since she became 60. Now she's 75, and we have no idea where she is
puppymonkeybabyremix
@op can you give us some tips??? I would love to start running.
OrphiaNay
I learned to run using the Couch to 5K (C25K app by Zen Labs) program (jog/walk to start) and did parkrun as best I could on Saturdays.
AIRBORNEALLTHEWAY
Damn @OrphiaNay keep it up. I lost 90ish lbs in 4 months due to divorce & it feels weird being under 300lbs
OrphiaNay
Best wishes for the new you.
AIRBORNEALLTHEWAY
Right back at you, mi amor. Stay safe out there
pumperknicklepokemon
I did this, but then I turned 21 and started drinking more than running. Now I'm going full circle and doing it again
DetectiveSherlockHolmes
You can't run from your responsibilities forever Karen. GET BACK HERE KAREN! NOW KAREN!!!

Age is just a number. You're only as old as you feel!
Welltechnicallyimright
But how old you feel is just a number too.
Flonaise
Well technically, you're right.
OrphiaNay
Eek, this has gone "viral"! It's from 11 months ago! I run my first marathon in 2 wks. This is from 2 days ago: http://imgur.com/vx7ZPL9

There it is, was starting to get worried there wasnt ONE gump reference in this whole thread.
CatAssTrophyTheory
I can barely make it 10 minutes, 1 year, that's impressive

WhitneyLikeHoustonButNotDeadYet
Very proud of you, as, I'm sure, most are. Keep up the good work!
OrphiaNay
I also used the My Fitness Pal app/website and a Fitbit & Garmin to monitor my calories in/out, so I didn't eat too much or too little.
eponymous
great work! just watch and ensure that your foot is coming under load directly underneath your knee. hard to see in the second pic but...
painehtz
Great work! My bf & I use the myfitnesspal app. It really helps. I'm glad to see your progress w/ running & using these apps. Gives me hope.
trydefault
Was just about to mention that propper eating must have had something to do with it aswell :)
BobTheSwede
Eating right is about 70 of the work. Great job!!!
OrphiaNay
So true! Thank you.
Captainplanetmotherfucker
I wanted to say congraulations. You look so much more healthier. Well done for sticking to it. Keep it up.
Iunderstoodthatreference
this is awesome! go you!

My fitness pal is legit
surfhappens
MFP is legit, such a great tool to use especially when cutting and watching macros, surprised how many foods were preloaded, just select+go
surfhappens
For anyone wondering, when cutting, 2200 cals, <150 carbs, 30-35% carbs/ 30-35% protein, rest fat, you should prob see results (w/ cardio)
FatLemongrab
Maybe for a huge man.
RabidEjaculator
Nicely done

Total gilf well done!

Well done, you!!
notaboba
Yes! MyFitnessPal is great + Nike Running App! Definitely a life changer (5'2" 165lbs -> 130lbs) :D

I hear some great running apps out there that really motivate you with challenges and Progressive stories based on your running progress .
doctorbees
I do enjoy Map My Run.
maststick
I love "zombies run". You have a chase option that really gets you moving.
alpalboygenius
Progressive stories??? That sounds super interesting. Do you know of any app names that involve that?
schnurrbart
Zombies, run! for example
stinkermelodic
Yeah, I lost 20k with zombies run!
stinkermelodic
20kg, I mean
bngd
I've lost 40lbs with fitness pal.
OrphiaNay
Good job!!
OurLadyBabalon
I've lost 30... Congrats to all
0TheFirehawk0
That's exactly how I lost a shit ton of weight too! It's nice to see how much you're eating and keeping track of water intake.
Snotty128
Why are you tracking water intake? Thats the only thing I dont bother putting into the app
OrphiaNay
I don't track water. I just drink when I'm thirsty. I drink a lot of sparkling water because I love the bubbles & save calories for beer.
0TheFirehawk0
I once had a bad experience with dehydration and I never want to relive that hellish moment lol
iwonabetwithDixonHill
Great job! I, a perfect stranger, am proud of you!
OrphiaNay
Thanks so much! Very nice of you to say so.
HPCmonkey
I love the My Fitness Pal app. 30 lbs down and about 100 to go.
OrphiaNay
Well done! MFP is great, and doesn't encourage you to starve yourself. Keep up the good work!
ShutYourRobotMouth
Wow!! How much do you run each day?

Check out C25k as an easier way to get into running.
vanella
I run, but not every day, I mostly run 3-4 times a week
OrphiaNay
Good question! I built it up gradually. This was 11mths ago. Now I'm marathon training and did 154km last month.
blameitonmyjuice
That's ridiculously impressive. Congrats, OP!!
nihilistdad
That's the only right way to do it! Anyone should be able to increase the distance gradually!
doctorbees
I just ran my first 10k and I thought I was going to die. Nice work.
OrphiaNay
Yay for your first 10K! Good job. Bet you feel brilliant after completing it.

How are your joints doing?
sonic745
Exactly.
doctorbees
At least in younger people, moderate intensity running can actually help maintain knee cartilage. I will try to find the study again.
threecheersforsweetrevenge
And, if you start running and stuff at a young age, it is supposed to strengthen bones as well
doctorbees
Yes, strength training too. It has to do with how osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) work. Gravity and mechanical stress activates them.
himynameisandrew
I used to run then, then one day I couldn't walk up the stairs. Connective tissue disorder. Now watching people run makes my joints hurt.
