Another update
Been about 2 weeks since my last blog, so I thought I would post an update. Tonight I finished the best run I have ever had. I had so much energy, and actually ran a little longer. From my last run back on May 10th, I ran the same distance 3 minutes and 15 seconds faster. I couldnt believe how much energy I had. I dont think I had this much energy even as a child or teenager. Im not sure if I broke through a fat barrier or something, but whatever it was, I feel great. I usually run 5.4 km, but after my run, and about 1 minute walking, I decided to run almost another 1km.
As for my candida cleanse, I completed the first 10 days, and now have added fruit into my diet. I have lost 14 lbs in the last 2 weeks, which is amazing. I was figuring that I would lose between 20 - 30 lbs on this cleanse, so I am well on my way. I am now feeling better than I have in the last 5 years at least. I am so focused into getting fit and losing this excess weight. Only 54 lbs left to lose. I know I can do it.
This site has been such an inspiration to me, and I believe has really helped me keep at my goals. Also reading others progresses as well has been a great positive motivator.

nice!
Thanks for the update.
It blew my mind how much more energy I have since I've started exercising regularly, its like some sort of fountain of youth or something ;)
Thanks.
Thanks for the comment. I can't believe how much more energy I have had recently. Guess it is a way for my body to tell me that I am doing something right.
Way to go folks!
I was at where you are now about a year ago. I started in November of 2005 at 260 pounds. I just weighed in at 183. Goal weight is 175. The energy level is what makes the difference. I am now intensely weight training which is why the weight is not so much an issue anymore. Just a note, since this is my third try at keeping it off. Jsut running will get the weight off fast, but it much harder to sustain the loss. If you do the research, you will find that adding muscle mass through weight training helps develop a much higher sustainable metabolic rate.
Good to see that people are making their goals and supporting one another. I know that if I did not have a truly inspirational friend to keep on on task, I might not have kept at it.
Keep going. Sometimes it will seem impossible to break through a plateau. Keep at it, no matter what.
Thanks
Thanks for the comment. I have been told that I need to work on muscle mass to develop a much higher sustainable metabolic rate. The gym is so hard to get to when the weather is so nice. Just picked up some weights to do some training here at home. Will be able to take them outside and do some weight training in the soon to be summer heat. Congrats on losing so much weight. Glad to hear that others are having successes to, and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I know you will make your goal weight. My goal is to get to 199 eventually, and I know it will take a lot of time to reach it. But I am learning to be patient, so I am just taking it one day at a time. Keep me posted on your progress. Later.
