Forums >Look What I Can Do!>Farewell 50 Pounds...
My "weight loss journey" started in January. I was 227 pounds at the time, and I had been that way for over a year.
I decided that I was going to lose weight, get in shape, and hike more. I also started rock climbing more!
By May, I was down to about 205 pounds, and I felt like I was in good enough shape to start running again. That was (counting today) now 665.2 miles ago. I feel better than I have in years. This morning, before my weekly long run, I stepped on the scale:
176 pounds! I've now lost over fifty pounds and wanted to announce it to the world!
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek

The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff
