I'm 42 6'4''and 285ish. Quit smoking seven years ago after getting scare with type 2 diabetes, high BP, shortness of breath, sleep apnea - peaked out well over 330 and a bit of a mess. Last three years have yo-yo about 260 to 300 - slim down in summer when running and biking - and then bulk up over winter. Fed up losing the same 40 pounds annually. Have set a goal of 204 and given myself about 60 weeks from when I started. Logging calories and quite determined to make the eating changes I can live with year round.
Just ran a Half Martahon in 2:04 and am training for full in Oct where I will run 4:20 or better at about 245lbs. Biking is my cross training to augment my running and spend time with family.Wish me luck
