Okay this is my second post so here it goes. I am a police officer, who got out of the fitness and healthy eating lifestyle. I grew to a whopping 220 Lbs. One day somebody called me a "fat cop". It cut pretty deep, and from that very second I decided I ws going to do something about it.

I started by walking 1 mile everyday in my neighborhood, and eating right. I am now RUNNING 3 miles every day, and I have lost 25 Lbs. I am weighing in at around 195. I also gathered alot of inspiration from you folks posting on these forums. I want to lose another 15 Lbs.

I just wanted to post and say thanks to all of you amazing people. Stay safe, and be determined. We can ALL do it:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    WOW- great weight loss.

    And thanks for your dedication to keep everyone safe. I have so much respect for what police officers do and what they have to put up with from the public when their main goal is the safety of others.
