My name is Ed I used to weigh 243 pounds. Back when I hit the 200 pound mark 12 years ago in 1997 I never thought I could be in triple digits twice, but I was. My weight yo-yoed for a few years, mom called it "filling out", but I knew I was just getting fat and loving it!
Over the years I thought about many things to battle the weight off. Tape worm never took, smoking caused a plethora of side effects, sit 'n fit only could take me so far, so as a last resort I decided to start running.
I had heard some success stories of people losing weight from running but they had to run for a long time and consistently, I didn't think I could do it. But regardless of my doubt I ran everyday until one day I ran a marathon and won, ok I didn't win but I sounded like the natural thing to say.
That was last year I have kept any goals to run this year because of some minor foot injuries and major worries of my heart stopping mid-run(I'll get over it).
I have been a little down in the dumps because of it all until the night of August 17th hit. I got sick, strep throat to be exact and eureka 15 pounds in 11 days. I recommend it to anyone looking to lose a few vanity pounds or to fit into that little black dress. Please contact me for details on how to get this illness according to my doctors I have been able to catch this same illness in my throat 8 times in the last three years. Never give up on the easy way out. If you work hard enough you can dodge the right way every time. official weigh-in 229, 14 pound loss!
