100 pound+ weight losers who run marathons

  • I'm trying to put together a list of websites of people who have lost over 100 lbs and RUN marathons.

    So far its not much of a list, just myself and 2 others. Can anyone point me to any sites that you know of?

    Here's what I have so far:

    http://www.perrymonaco.com/
    Perry lost 100 pounds and has finished 3 marathons (6:01 / 6:19 / 6:37)

    http://www.msteechur.com/
    Tory lost 107 pounds and has finished 3 marathons (4:47 / 5:05 / 5:56)

    http://bostondiet.blogspot.com/
    Mike (me) has lost 120 pounds and has completed 1 marathon (3:49) along the way. (But I still haven't finished a marathon since I passed 100 pounds weight loss).
  • I came up with 2 more

    Steve from Houston went from 330 pounds to 185 pounds, and finished one marathon (4:01)

    Cathi Lee went from 500 pounds to 170 pounds, and had finished one marathon (6:00)
  • Fingers crossed I'll be joining your list at some point, although I want to get my half out of the way before thinking about the full version
  • Its a great goal to shoot for Helen. It really gives a higher purpose to saying no to junk food when you are training for a marathon. My races motivate me so much more than my health or my appearance ever could.

    Here's another website I found:

    http://www.kensweightloss.com/
    Ken went from 405 pounds to 235 pounds, and finished the 2005 Chicago marathon (4:17)
  • I wanted to bump this now I can officially go on the list - 107lb lost and 4:51:26
