Hellllllo from Michigan
 

Hello fellow members,

26 year old male here from Michigan. Starting my journey and figured I could use a forum that could provide me with some motivation.

Last fall I finished a half marathon but I was overweight. I looked at the photos online after the race and was disgusted with myself. I was probably around 215 or so on my 6'0'' frame. After numerous attempts, I finally decided that this year was going to be the year I was going to slim down and get closer to what I weighed in high school (175-180).

I've been doing the online weightwatchers thing for a little over a month now. I have not started exercising yet however. In that time doing the weightwatchers thing, I have dropped about 14 pounds and am down to around 200. I have already signed up for the Philadelphia Rock and Roll Half Marathon in Fall 2012. I am going to start running soon (as soon as it warms up outside) and hopefully continue on my journey to get down to 180 or so.

Good luck everyone!

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your 14lb loss! You will get a ton of support on this site. Best of luck to you!
