in Success Stories
I started my journey around 365 although i was much heavier than this. i dont know for sure but im pretty sure i was over or near 400 lbs at one point. the highest weight i saw was 378 at a work physical. I started running and doing c25k a couple months ago. im on week six day 2. my quickest mile to date is 11mins 17 seconds. i run just about every other day sometimes a few days in a row. Besides running all i have done is watched what i ate. i started this journey after the first of this year, i took about a month to month and a half off from it all when i got into an accident and had trouble walking.

i joined a healthiest loser competition that is wrapping up in a couple weeks. i dont know if i have done enough to win it, but considering that over a year ago i was 60 to 100 lbs heavier than i am today. I can run 20 minutes without stopping now, a year ago, heck a month or two ago i couldn't run 1 minute without stopping. no matter what happens in the competition, im still winning in the bigger game of life.

thank you in advance for looking at my pictures.

    You're definitely a winner! I suspect you'll soon be half the man you used to be, but only in size. I admire your tenacity. Congratulations!
