Extreme Veteran 930   Fort Worth, TX | Subject: RE: (300 pounds on the) Couch to Half Ironman in 6 months If that's "preachy," then PREACH! You just made my day - I love this story and all that it means. If I could hang out with the winner of that HIM, or you, it'd be a no-brainer. We'd be having dinner and talking  Edited by sulross 2012-07-18 11:09 AM |

I am no expert, but this worked for me. I know a lot of people are interested in how others lose weight. I offer no short cuts or tricks. I simply ate less and moved more. Not at all man, you are incredible and an inspiration. Congrats on reaching your HIM goal! |

| New user 306 Norwalk, Ohio | Subject: RE: (300 pounds on the) Couch to Half Ironman in 6 months I am the original poster and wanted to provide a quick update. I had a lot of people mention to me I had great progress and to keep it up. I am proud to say that I have. I ran a half marathon in November, and met my goal of running it in under 2 hours (1:58). I am doing some off season work, but have mostly been focusing on getting rid of fat and gaining muscle. Here is a before and after picture, 364 days apart. I weighed 303 in the first one, and 199 in the second. For those of you out there with New Year's Resolutions, work hard at it. Mine was to lose weight. Let me tell you it was worth it. Everyone have a great year!! |
