Hard to believe it's you! Fantastic accomplishment --could you post up the diet & exercise plan you used? Some of us are always fighting the fact that food goes to waste, our waist .

Some of us are always fighting the fact that food goes to waste, our waist . Well I have been working at it over a year. I was 6'4" and 340 lbs so I started with cutting out all drinks except water. Also cut out almost all fried foods. Started doing the eliptical at the gym for 30 minutes and walking on the track. I got down to about 300 lbs and plateau'd. So I started doing the spin class (where you ride the stationary bikes). I did that 4 times a week. By this time I was jogging some also. After I hit another wall, I signed up for a 1/2 marathon (13.1 miles). That has forced me to train. So now I weigh about 255 lbs and have a specific training schedule. Each week I log 4 hours of spin class, 20 miles of running (and increasing), 5 hours of raquetball, and 4 hours of weight lifting. Now with 16 hours or so of working out a week, I dont watch what I eat very closely (though I still drink only water). I am still losing 1-2 lbs a week. I am shooting for a final weight of about 230 and will be running my 1/2 marathon on April 25th of this year!
