in Success Stories
Here is a video I made about the changes I've made in the last 18 months - my kids and I made the video as part of my application for a chance to train with Hines Ward for an Ironman in Kona Hawaii next year. I have often looked at all the great success stories here to help me stay focused during this long slow process, so I thought I would share it - maybe it will inspire someone else to keep going! It's taken me a really long time to lose this weight, just fewer calories and more activity, and I still need to lose 40 or 50 more pounds, but it's a start....

    This is so sweet and your kids are adorable. Is just signed up for my first Triathalon, so I might ask a question now and again if you don't mind. I'm sending a friend request. What a great story!

    WOW, I never in a million years thought someone would be jealous of my run times!!! LOVE THAT!! Actually, Todd really stresses non scale victories like running faster or farther, or trying something new (like learning to swim), or smaller clothes sizes... the weight has come off so slowly but those NSV's keep it rewarding...
