March 22, 2011 - about to drive a Ferrari 458 Italia to haul my butt around Las Vegas Speedway

Before.jpg

March 24, 2012 - after using my own horsepower to haul my butt through a 5.5 mile Spartan Race!

After.jpg

And yes, those are my abs that my wet shirt is clinging to, I never thought I would actually be able to see them!

50 Pounds Gone
From 32% body fat to under 9%
From a high resting heart rate and high blood pressure to a resting heart rate of 40 and great blood pressure
2 weeks until my first official half marathon where I'm shooting for a 1:55 finish
I have more energy than I know what to do with!
I haven't been this weight since high school, and the weight is better proportioned now than it was then - I never wore 30" waist pants back then!

    Thanks everyone! I didn't use MFP to reach my original goal, but it has been very helpful in this final push for abs since eating right is so critical for it. I love seeing everyone else's success stories, thought I would share mine!

    A dream come true, a great 40th birthday present from my wife! I think I got a lot more satisfaction out of the Spartan Race though :)

    Awesome work, 50lbs is about my total weight loss goal. Started using MFP after I dropped 20lbs or so. I am down to my last 15 lbs now and have considered doing a Spartan Race, Tough Mudder or something along those lines. Again Great Job!!!
