Mark....looking trim ! Nice work. How did you shed the pounds?


Thanks! Working out 10 times a week (6 days). Eating 6 times a day in smaller portions. Cutting out all sugar as possible and processed foods (as much as possible). No fast food.

In March, I couldn't run 400 yards without gasping for air. This morning I ran 12 miles in 2 hours as part of my LSD. I won my age group in a 5k recently in just over 22 minutes.

My bodyfat before was over 30%. Now it is 10%. It has been an incredible journey to say the least.

Since I am rambling, why not go on

It all started when I got my cholosterol results back. It was 241. I had no idea what cholosterol even was (old person's thing I thought). Nurse called and said I needed to go on Lipitor right away. Doctor didn't even consult me about natural options. That was my wake up call.

I went to a different doctor last month and my cholosterol results were 180 and my resting heart rate was 38.

I love this board. Truly inspiring. I still have a lot of self-doubt (hard to get rid of) but it is slowly being replaced by confidence.

Cheers

I know that story all too well. You wouldn't believe me if I told you my numbers, but that's what pushed me to get back into a more healthy regimen and lifestyle.

Congratulations on a great run this morning and for all that you've accomplished so far.

 misscullen, great work !

Thanks but did you notice I got bigger?  I started around 150 - came down to the Red Suit size, and then back up to the silver suit size.

I'll get into that red suit again

Thanks for the pics guys, very very inspiring. I'm posting mine for motivation. Because I need it. Mine go backwards, so at least I know I can obtain the goal again. I posted these in anopther thread, sorry for those who have seen them already.

Before - 2005 October - ITU Age group worlds. 135 lbs

After - 2006 April - Lees trail Trathlon. (and now 149lbs)

I could put the exact same post. I've gone backwards too. From 142 to 125 and back up to 142. I've got some work to do as well.

The good news is you know what you need to do, as well as how to do it. And, you don't have to go it alone!

I had to resurrect this thread for all the new folks that are just starting out and might find some inspiration from all the amazing success stories of people on this site (plus I finally found a "before" picture ).

"Before" is from 2003, 235 pounds. "After" is from Lake Placid July 2006, 165 pounds.

Alright, I'm gonna' post a before pic as motivation for myself.  Hopefully in about 6 months I'll have an after pic.  This pic is from August, 2 months before I quit smoking and started working out. (btw, I'm the bigger one with less hair)

Can I play? I'd like to offer my avatar as a before shot.

In fact, I'm currently retaining wine and chips, so I'm probably back to that puffy roly bleurch self.

But, I'll start moving this fat a$$ as soon as I get home to NZ (4 days, wooohooo!), and will post an after shot at some point. I just needed to post this so that I remind myself to come back in 6 months with the 'after' shot.

You guys are ALL amazing, I'm so inspired.

This isn't me but one of my BT buddies he had in his photo album. Congrats to Billy aka brappleye3!

From Billy's Photo Album:


"My early pictures are a bit embarrasing, but it's incredible to see the change! I can't believe I've lost 40 lbs! I owe it all to Swimming, Biking and Running!! I thought it might be fun and inspiring to share."

My avatar is my before, taken in October.  Unfortunately when I moved to NC from NY, I gained back almost half of the 40 pounds I lost early in 2006.  I will be looking to post a buff after pic of me at the end of 2007.

I have another ‘before and after’ couple pages back but here’s another for you.

Before. One happy family, husband/dad (me) beautiful wife and son on vacation in PEI.

After. Five months, no wife, 40% of son, one empty apartment, and a stomach that feels like you just had the core workout of your life after a big meal…

This isn’t a pity post. All has been going…. As well as can be expected, we’re doing everything in Little Rice’s best interest so he’s taken to all the changes very well. But alas after four months of doing S.F.A I need to get back in the game. I have the hypothermic half at the end of Feb to get ready for. So its good to be back.

Cheers.

Rice.

PS. Ladies this also means Rice is back on the market!!
