warning
Could contain what some may call 'stealth boasting', but honestly I just want to show what running 2-3 times a week, plus making some small changes in my diet have done for my bod.

In both pics I look my usual deathly white, but if you can see past that, I think my legs have changed the most. First pic was taken in May 2015, second one was taken today.

Hope no one minds.

Boast away, you look great! How far do you run?

DramaAlpaca · 26/04/2016 12:49

Well done you, you look great Star

I think you might have inspired me to start C25K again. I've done it before & completed it (twice) but not continued for long afterwards. Must do it again & aspire to pins like yours!

Not a stealth boast but an inspirational post. Well done you. Wish I could post like this!

Colliefeatures · 26/04/2016 12:47

Wow thanks op this is such good inspiration for me.

How long (minutes) do you run for?

neolara · 26/04/2016 12:46

Bloody hell! That's impressive. Not that you didn't look pretty good before, it's just that now you look fantastic!

Was dithering over whether to go for a run. You may have pushed me out the door....

MrsEricBana · 26/04/2016 12:44

Well done!!!!

GeezeLouiseBelcher · 26/04/2016 12:44

Brilliant. You've made me want to dust off my running shoes and get back to it. Well done, you look amazing.

Yourface · 26/04/2016 12:43

To be fair you did have a flat tum before but possibly not the amazing definition you have now. Your legs look fantastic.

What is your regime?

MargotLovedTom · 26/04/2016 12:43

Oooh well done! Tell us more about the small diet changes please don't say you live on egg white omelettes and steamed tofu. I tried to do Couch To 5k and ended up with plantar fasciitis Sad.

Clg199 · 26/04/2016 12:42

I need to get my trainers on and start C25K (again!) and this is exactly the inspiration I needed!

What is your routine? How far do you run and how often?

What an amazing difference - well done.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 26/04/2016 12:41

Ok, how'd you get the abs? Do you have children because my tummy does not look like that but I'd like it to!

And what distances do you run 2/3 times a week?

NickiFury · 26/04/2016 12:40

Running was the only thing that made he as fit and slim as I wanted to be. Best exercise. Sadly no time or childcare to take it up again but one day....

SnakeWitch · 26/04/2016 12:40

Oh wow, I have just started so that's real motivation to keep going. You look great.

FadedRed · 26/04/2016 12:38

Very well done Star. Inspiration for others, rather than a stealth boast IMO. You should be very proud of yourself.

FinnMcCool · 26/04/2016 12:38

Well done! Good for you.

Parsley1234 · 26/04/2016 12:37

Jeez - amazing !! Well done

Pinkgeek · 26/04/2016 12:36

Love a bit of inspiration!

Did you just do running or mix it up with other exercise? How far do you run?

Well done!!

MorrisZapp · 26/04/2016 12:34

I'm envious of your 'before'! I run too and lost weight last summer but it's back on again. I can't give up chocolate in the cold.

Brilliant pics, bloody well done.
