Expert 1608   Grapevine, Texas | Subject: RE: (300 pounds on the) Couch to Half Ironman in 6 months Larry, as others in our mentor group have said, it's a privilege to in some small way join you on this journey! You have made incredible changes and are on a great path. I had forgotten just how quickly you dropped the weight and got into half ironman shape. Great job, and may your journey continue to bring you joy and good health! |

I'd write a weight loss book, but it would only have 4 words in it. Eat Less. Exercise More. congratulations on your acheivement. Enjoy your new-found healthy lifestyle for another 50 years. |

Master 1517 Grand Prairie | Subject: RE: (300 pounds on the) Couch to Half Ironman in 6 months Congratulations. I am impressed that where able to run a whole at 14min/mile when you started. When I started I don't think I was able to run a whole mile at all, not even at that speed. |

I'm trying not to feel like a total slacker after reading that, since I am a year and a half in, and halfway as far, but I'm getting there. I will be putting your story in my personal BAMF hall of fame. |

| New user 306 Norwalk, Ohio | Subject: RE: (300 pounds on the) Couch to Half Ironman in 6 months Thank you for all the words of support. I am truly inspired by this response. It's cool to see the comments from others who have done something similar, and have been able to keep up the lifestyle. My challenge now is to keep it up. I just signed up for a half marathon December 1st. We have a full near my home next September. I'm thinking about it, but I know I need to work on my base. |

Extreme Veteran 890 Sterling | Subject: RE: (300 pounds on the) Couch to Half Ironman in 6 months Congrats! I decided in January to start swimming again. That led to me getting into triathlon and buying a bike/gear. Started dieting and before I knew it I have went from 230 at my heaviest to 170! 60 pounds!(6 months) My first him is in September. Very glad there are people like you who help me realize I'm not alone in being crazy as some people have called me. |
