FatManRunning - Couch to 5k (and beyond!)

Here's the skinny: I've been near 300 lbs. for years and need to lose weight. I'm married to a wonderful lady, and we have a family. One of our boys often asks if I'll run with him. I've always had to tell him, "No." In August of '09, my wife learned about a couch-to-5k running program, and I agreed to try it with her. This blog chronicles our progress on that training program. I hope I'll soon be able to surprise my son by telling him, "Yes, I'll go running with you!"

BWL - Final Results 2012 (I AM the biggest loser!)

The results were not sent out until 4:45 PM today.  I took the top spot with 32.6 lbs. lost (11.41% of my starting weight).  My team lost a total of 66 lbs. Nearly half of that was mine. As a group, the 20 of us lost 165.4 lbs!  I'll be picking up my winnings in the morning. Thanks go out to my teammates for doing such a great job, too!

There's talk of starting another round of the contest in another week or two.  I'd be in--my next goal weight is 235 lbs.
