    Holy crap!!! That's phenomenal. I'd love to hear any other tips you have from your journey - especially for us non-pro atheletes. :wink:

    I have started walking slow at first, then building up to <15 min miles - 10 miles is my distance record. Now I've started on a couch to 5K run training program, and am signed up for the Army 10 Mile run in DC in October. Feels good to actually be able to move.

    Dont get too worried about distances and times in the beginning, the goal is hitting the "i wanna quit" barrier. Run and DO NOT STOP until you are thinking in your head this really hurts, its painful and i cant breath and iI need to stop.....Now push on for 5 more minutes.

    As you progress this breaking point will get further and further out, but it needs to be faced and conquered every single time you train.

    for motivation i would ask myself :

    "if there was a gun to my head or my mother's life depended on it...could i keep going for just five more minutes?"

    ...99% of the time, if you are honest with yourself...the answer is ALWAYS yes

    Truly awesome!! What kind of dietary changes did you make? As a "fat kid" all my life I'm trying to go from over 3 bills down in the high 100's. I've hooked up with a buddy at work who plays ice hockey and I've adapted his workout routine. I'm eating more fresh vegies and less crap; junk food, HFCS, white flour, etc. But I'm looking to optimize my food intake.

    Dude! You are doing exactly what I am trying to do...it is so exciting to see that the philosophy does work and pay off. A few exceptions - I don't fight MMA, I am 40 years old, and I sit (unfortunately) all day at work. But none of that should matter right? The goal is still there and I won't stop. I am 2 years into it, 47 pounds down and now building hard.

    Thanks for the inspiration! You look great!

    thank you, im doing the 30 day shred at the moment and you have really made me think about the few bits i cant do, although im improving every day there is still a part of my brain that is holding on to the fact that im 250 pounds and cant expect my body to stay in the plank position for very long but you have made me think that it is possible and i can hang on for a few more seconds...thank you again and you look fabulous well done..

    Take some jiu jitsu classes, tons of older guys do it, and compete..you can become a very strong and fit fighter with little damage to your body.

    the philosophy behind jiu jitsu is to defeat a larger and stronger opponent without permanently injuring him
