I am in also.
I started with the original 20 lb. weight loss challenge last year. I guess I am one of the success stories of the challenge. Just after Christmas I weighed 217 lb (at 6’2”). Now, I am 189 lb. A 28 lb. weight loss in nine months. I would like to be 175 lb. by Christmas this year.
Noted successes along the way in 2006:
For the first time ever as an adult I am under 200 lb.
Fitter and healthier than I have ever been at any time in my life
First ever ultra-marathon: Way Too Cool 50k
First half Ironman: Auburn International
Three triathlon personal bests in a row: (TBF Racing Tri for Fun #2, Real #2 and Fun#3)
No injuries or inflammation problems in 2006.
By the way – to everyone who participated in the original 20 lb. weight loss challenge: My REWARD arrived today!! A box full of Icebreakers from New Zealand. (see www.icebreaker.com) Cheers, Paul Charteris
