After seven years (and probably seven million calories) of living in D.C., I moved to NYC in August 2008. After a few months of eating my way through the city, I realized this had to stop and nipped my temptations in the bud. Here’s the story of how a girl lost 50 pounds in the most tempting city known to woman—and then ran a marathon!
The first photo is from January 2009 at my highest weight–189 pounds–definitely a lot on my 5’5″ frame.
The second post is me at 145 pounds–almost my goal weight–in September 2009.
(I’ve since lost a little more weight.)

You look amazing! I live in NYC and I am the Community Manager at DailyBurn. By day you can find me grabbing a smoothie at One Lucky Duck in the Chelsea Market, or at DailyBurn HQ. Congrats on becoming an athlete! If you ever want to go for a run along the Hudson, hit my up! Cheers! kate@dailyburn.com
I love DailyBurn!!!! Let’s definitely run together sometimes. And thanks
Wow you inspire me!!!!!!!!! I use to weigh 190 pounds and have now plateaued at 162. My goal is to get to 140 pounds so hopefully someday it will happen. I started my jouney in June 2010, I am not on a diet as this is a lifestyle change for me.
I live in Chicago and struggle with the city living perks vs. healthy living…you look incredible. I just stumbled on your blog via Tina and can’t wait to read more!
I just recently started reading your blog – I love it! So inspirational!
Wow! Congrats, I’m even more motivated now.

I’m so glad that I found your blog. I love reading your posts and find you very inspiring. Because I haven’t been a long time reader – I’m curious to know if you have a gym membership… I have one but am considering dropping it because of it being a commute as well as because of the monthly cost. I am nervous though that if I stop going I will back track on my weight loss goals. Have you been able to continue to lose weight without being a member of a gym? And if so, how do you do it?
Wow! I started reading your blog right around the time of the NYC marathon since I am obsessing about it these days, well weeks okay okay month, and will be doing it as my first marathon next year. I had read about you losing weight but didn’t find this post until today since you linked to it. What an inspiration! I too dropped a bit of weight. I went from 175 to now around 135 a few years ago and I’m only a little over 5’2. As you can see from how I started this comment I am grateful to the simple act of running (and changing my eating habits). I am now obsessed with running and I cannot wait for Nov 2012 for my turn at the NYC marathon. Glad I found your blog and glad I’m getting to know more of your story. Good going and keep up the great work!
I had trouble to losing weight but finally i found the system that work for my and my friend!!I have free info to my site:
