    Love your story. Love the pictures. Such and awesome thing to see it work for people. I am only about 30 days into it and it's the longest I've stuck with something so far. I can't wait until a year from now when I can post the same kind of story!

    Congrats!

    You went to a couch potato to a triathlete from Jan to sept?
    On January 3rd, 2012 I did my first workout of the new year, it was a 20 minute Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred workout. Immediately after the workout I puked, but more importantly I did it again the next day. Today on January 3rd, 2013 I just finished a 25 mile bike ride and a 7 mile run and feel fantastic, but more importantly I will do it again tomorrow. I have gone from a 265 pound couch potato to a 185 pound triathlete and have loved every second of it. Below is a picture of me before starting to workout in 2012 and a picture of me after completing my first triathlon back in September. I am registered to do at least 5 more triathlons this year including two Ironman triathlons. You really can do anything you put your mind to, just refuse to quit!

    WOW you are my hero! That is such an incredible transformation! I've been losing weight for a year now and while I participated in two races over the summer, I didn't place. My goal was just to get to the finish line. This year, I'm going for some medals! Your photos are very inspiring!

    Thank you everyone for the kind words. I appreciate your support. I thought about not posting these pictures but I decided that if I could help inspire others the way the many success stories that I have read over the past year have helped inspire me then it would be selfish not to. I am glad to hear that my success could even be a small part of each of your success as well.
