I've done a Super, and a few sprints. Cross fit establishes a pretty good base. I find I need to supplement with more running, Burpees and grip exercises.

~120lbs between the two.

Being able to lead by example for my kids instead of sitting on the sidelines..

In my experience, generally yes.

Thats Just Awesome! congrats!

Absolutely fantastic !

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Wow great work!

Thanks everyone! The 450 push-ups was part of a workout called the kettlebell mile. Take a kettle bell in each hand (55 lbs each in my case) and walk a mile. Each time you put the bells down do 10 push-ups and 10 sit-ups. Repeat until you finish the distance.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the support. To answer a question, no I have not had Anny issues with loose skin yet. BTW, down by an even 101 lbs this morning! Only 39 lbs to go!

this is going to sound crazy.. but run more. as long as you haven't truly injured yourself. the soreness you are experiencing is due to your muscles not being used in that way for a while. If you keep it up regularly it will go away. also working sore muscles can have an analgesic effect.. if that doesn't work then try…

a couple of things.. fist off you look great. your hard work really shows.. my story is similar to yours (down 90lbs as of this AM!) Second you ARE a success. every time you go to the gym. Every weight you lift. every minute of cardio you do, and every good eating decision you make proves it. Hitting a number on the scale…

nice job. and good post.

I'm 304lbs, i have 114lbs to loose. I am on week 2 workout 3 of the C25K. the first week was brutal. My shins killed. I pushed through it. week 2 has been great. I could easily run for longer than the 90 seconds and my shins don't hurt any more. I have good shoes. New balance 750V1's they work well for me. If I can do it…

get a convertible. :-)

since its fairly difficult to quantify the dressing left over accurately I just consider it eaten.
