This is my first post. I am currently a 6' male at 236 lbs at 40 years old. Im down from 267 lbs from May. Ive yo yoed a bit however im in a groove. I actually weighed at one point just under 300 lbs. I started riding a mountain bike in Feb and then transitioned to road biking in May and started to "run" a little. My 5k running times were at just under 40 min. However after 3 sprint tris, 2 dualathlons and Muddy Buddy race and 3 5k races, as I stated I am getting in a routine. The reason for the races is for motivation which I lack much of. I need a reason there thats why I sign up for them. My motto is what I call "JFB" (Just finish baby). Getting back to thr primary reason for my post is that if I can do it anybody can. My current times on my 5ks have dropped tremendously in the past 4 to 6 weeks all of a sudden. Im posting low 25 to mid 26 minutes finishes, Its coming together. I was platueing at around 244 lbs forever so I looked at my caloric intake (I love food) and began to watch that much ckoser with the help of the Fitness Pal app on my phone. It helped tremendously! I ddint realized how much the little stuff added up. I say all of this, get up get out, one step at a time, one day at a time! If you fall off the wagon for a period, get back on. Find something that works. I personally didnt follow the C25k however its a proven plan. I can gaurantee this, IF YOU ARE OUT THERE DOING SOEMTHING, YOU ARE LAPPING THE ONES ON THE COUCH NO MATTER WHAT YOUR TIME IS. My motto, JFB!
