Hi everyone
Just wanted to share my story and have been delaying it for a bit as I wanted t make sure I could maintain the weight off.
On May 20 2010 I woke up one morning and got on the scale and I was the heaviest I have ever been 190. lbs. For a 5ft5" male that is big. Something clicked inside of me and I joined this site and the rest is history.
As of today I I have been at my goal weight of 139 lbs for about 6 months now.
I have pics on my profile and OMG I cant believe how I used to look compared to know!
I also 7 weeks ago started the couch to 5 k running program and as of today I'm on weeks 7 day 2 of a 9 week program.
Hoping to do my first 5k race ever at the end of August. I'm allready amazed I'm running 25 minutes non stop. I was never a runner but this is so amazing.
So 3 new goals I have now are to do a 5k race and to work on my core and get a six pack! I hope anyways and 3 find the love of my life.
Just want eveyone reading this to know if you stick to this program faithfully it does work period.
YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!
At my worst 190 lbs
July 30 2011 139 lbs
