In May of 2010, I looked something like this.
Family Picture - Sanibel Island November 2009
I weighed in at 294.8 pounds - the heaviest I had ever been in my life.
On a whim - I joined Weight Watchers at Work on May 4, 2010 and my life changed.
By August 2010 I had lost about 30 pounds and started walking on my treadmill.
In October 2010 I started the Couch to 5K program and started running.
I ran the Triple Crown of Running in the spring of 2011 - 5K, 10K, and 10 mile race.
I ran my first half marathon on May 21, 2011.
