NSV! I ran a mile! (First time... EVER!)
I ran a mile today for the first time in my life. Not a quarter mile, not a half mile, not run/walk/run/walk, a whole mile! It was a little slow and I only got up to 5.2mph but I did it!

Fat guy loses weight and does a traithlon?
I have a goal for this year: Triathlon! Last year I lost almost 150 pounds. I have went from running out of breathe on a long walk to 20+ mile bike rides and hiking a 5K every weekend. Once I build some endurance in the water I want to try and complete a triathlon. I have my eye on a mid-April sprint event: 800m swim, 20k…

I am no longer "morbidly" obese! (NSV?)
I decided to celebrate breaking though to the next level with an all-new ticker image! Check it out below! I started my journey at 410lbs, which on my 5' 11" frame classified me as "SUPER OBESE" with a BMI greater than 57! :sad: Seven months ago I broke into the 350's which put me in the "MORBIDLY OBESE" class. :cry: This…

Replacing calories from big burn?
I normally try to eat extra to cover the burned calories from any exercise I do since I understand the idea of net calories and having a daily/weekly goal for a set amount of weight loss. The trouble is that I have a problem wrapping my head around the thought of consuming the extra calories after I have a serious burn.…

Southern California (High Desert Area)
I have been using MFP for over a year, but just now getting to the forums/friends stage of the game! Any active users in the High Desert area? Looking to add some local people! I started at 410 pounds, down to 297 as of today, and am starting to get serious about exercise/fitness!

NSV! Set a new record on my bike, not bad for a fat boy!
I was very happy after my bike ride today. I really pushed myself and pulled off 20 miles around my neighborhood in less than 80 minutes! A year ago I could barely make it a mile, and 3 months ago it took my almost 2 hours! I am going to look into toe-clips and aero-bars so I can start working on more speed!

C25K @ 300lbs?
I am thinking about starting C25K next week, I am hoping to find someone similar to my scenario for support: I have recently hit my first goal of losing 100 pounds, dropping from 410 to 297. I have been doing a lot of biking, 3+ times a week ranging from shorter 5 mile rides to 20 miles at the longest. On my bicycle I can…

410 to 299: Before and after!
I finally did it! I broke into the 200 pound club! (Although it is very upsetting that I am still, "technically", morbidly obese...) After snapping my humerus while off-roading I spent 12 months in and out of casts, slings and braces which shot my weight up to 410 pounds. While I have spent most of my adult life in the…
