Over 100 lbs in a year! Husband, father of four, pastor... Time is something that I do not have. But life is essential to living :)

In March of 2007 I was over 250 and couldn't breathe or move very well. Moving off of sodas helped me drop 30 pounds in three months. Now it\'s time to get in shape and make my future a healthy one for the sake of myself and my four children and wonderful wife!

Now I have more energy than in years and look better than ever (well, that's subjective :))

I just finished my Sports Nutrition and Personal Training Certification so off to the mentoring races I go!

May 2008 I started doing a five day extreme exercise and weight training that can be done in your home for little investment.

Please let me know if you have any questions or just want to talk. I am here because I want to encourage others to keep working, you can lose the weight.

I have started two new blogs, one to follow my running and a Quest to a Marathon at blog.262quest.com and one to follow my weight loss at blog.2big.org, please check them out.

I am an IT professional / Developer which means I sit in front of a computer most of the day. This means very little exercise and plenty of time to eat.

I decided at the first of the year that I was going to lose weight. I started by changing my eating habits and started walking.

I did so for about a month and then added some weight lifting and started to run a little bit.

I have so far lost 29 lbs in just over 3 months and would like to lose just over another 50 lbs by the end of the year.

I have started running quite a bit more and am training to run the Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta on July 4th (10k)

I need all the encouragement I can get because to do this I am getting up every morning during the week at 4:30 to go running. With a wife and kids this is really the only time that I can consistently do what I need to do.

I am driven, but at times get a bit discouraged because I don't have anybody to work out with or run with.

All in All, I know I can do it, I just have to remember that when I don't do so well, it is in the past and what matters is going forward.
