An Amazing 18 Months For Me...Thanks For Everyone's Support

Hey Guys,

    Let me preface this with a disclaimer of sorts... I am usually pretty modest and don't go flexing muscles or walk around in wife beaters etc... I am attaching some pictures in this post to show where I was and where I am now in 18 short months, not because I think I am "Buff" or "Jacked" or anything like that, because that certainly is NOT the case...

18 Months Ago I:

* Weighed 400 Pounds
* Wore a 56" Pant & 5XL shirt
* Was in a state of misery
* Felt hopeless
* Could not walk up a flight of stairs without panting for air
* Could not walk for 10 minutes without having to stop
* Had High Blood Pressure
* Suffered from Sleep Apnea
* Was a hermit and avoided social situations
* Felt like a burden to my family
* Had no self esteem

Today I:

* Weigh 210 Pounds
* Wear a size 36" Pant
* Wear a size L shirt
* Am full of joy and gratitude
* Know that the future holds incredible things for me because of my efforts
* Have completed 2 x 70.3 Ironman Triathlons, 4 other triathlons, 2 full 26.2 mile marathons, several 5k & 10k races, 10k Swim (6.2 miles), 100K bike race
* Am an ATHLETE!!!
* Have NO health issues!!!
* Do not like being indoors
* Feel like my kids hero
* Know who I am, have good self worth, and am proud of the decision I have made to take CONTROL of MY life...

It has been an incredible 18 months for me... There is no doubt in my mind now that I WILL accomplish everything and anything I set my mind to. As always, visit www.trimywill.com and www.swimfromobesity.com to learn more about my journey, and my epic swim from Spain to Africa as a fund raiser to help fight Childhood Obesity. May this be the year that all of our collective goals and dreams become our most cherished accomplishments...
