My brother and his family were down over the holidays and I just found out yesterday that he has joined a gym, and his wife is joining soon too! Now, I don't know that I was the only reason that they did this, but I am sure I had some to do with it..... I did however drag them out on a cold New Years Eve night to watch me run a 5k.

I mentioned in the original post about my high liver enzymes being what triggered the Doctor to tell me to lose weight...... Well..... I went back to that Doctor for my 1 year checkup on Dec 20th.... He called me on the 21st to tell me great job, keep up the good work, and..... That my liver enzymes were completely normal! He told me at one of my previous visits that most people like me wou...http://www.traineo.com/14_4368_1.htmlThu, 03 Jan 2008 14:43:02 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4368_1.htmlThanks for the inspiration, Tim!!!

The holidays were good, and I did pretty good (about 80% good) with keeping my mind on the goal throughout the week. I actually dropped weight during the week, and that was with less then normal working out and more than normal eating. I think I may need to adjust my calories again, I think I have been aiming too low once again. I will see how this goes over the next week or two. Even though I dropped weight during the week, m...http://www.traineo.com/14_4368_1.htmlThu, 03 Jan 2008 13:50:19 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4368_1.htmlTim, What an amazing story - thank you for sharing.

I ran my 5k tonight. I am still trying to get over my cold/chest cold, but I ran the 5k and set a PR for myself beating my last PR for 5k by over 1 whole minute. My time was 25:02.

I am not counting calories because that is a bit difficult with family in town and limited amount of time on the computer, but am eating what I should, and nothing more. I am sure new years eve will be a bit of a bad night, but I plan on running a race that night at 7:00 PM so that will help.

It was perfect! Going from the size you were at to size you are right now is pure GENIUS! Like you, I need to force change on my habits. I need to stop trying to get comfortable in my life with the way I am and pick myself up off my butt and say "I aint going to take this anymore!"

Some of this was even hard to put into words because it is so personal by nature to be so overweight.... not to mention the fat pics! My main reason was just for what has been mentioned..... To give someone hope. I know it was stuff like this that I could tell was real that helped me see that it was possible to get there. I am in no way where I want to be, and I still struggle from time to time, but I think some things d...http://www.traineo.com/14_4368_0.htmlFri, 21 Dec 2007 01:49:51 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4368_0.htmlThat's awesome Tim.
