August 2010 I was 20 years old 6'6" 375 lb and was breathing heavy climbing the stairs in my house. I played video games for just about 16 hours a day and besides the fact I was a killer Call of Duty player, life was miserable. I saw how my grandfather passed from complications with diabetes in July and saw what it did to him. I didn't want that same fate for myself. I started working out and eating healthy and little by little the weight came off. I did a 5k, a sprint triathlon, 2 half marathons and then in just this last January 2012 I did the Walt Disney World Marathon. I have come a long way and hope this can inspire others in any way, shape or form. My new goal is Ironman Arizona 2012. Most importantly I can now say that I am happy :)
