Looking amazing! Congrats! Such an inspiration for all of us:)

sometimes I feel vain updating this thread but I just remember all those years ago it was here that I would come to see what might be.

 

Sunday, October 25, 2009 I ran a marathon (26.2 miles) in 4:12 which is a 9:36 m/mile pace. On April 1, 2007 I weighed about 340 lbs down 20 from my all time high of 360 lbs.

Great job, you look incredible! Do not feel vain for updating us, vanity is self-serving and you are not serving yourself, but inspiring others! There is a big difference...

[Guest ShrinkingKaren]

Padre - you look amazing but more importantly you are incredibly fit! You should feel proud (and a bit vain) for being able to complete that marathon in excellent time.

 

Plus, you're a bit of a hottie

[Blackbeard 10]

Dude you are my role model. I'm hoping to run a half next year, and maybe a full depending on how the half goes.

[Little Chubber 10]

Padre~What an accomplishment. You are not vain posting/updating your thread, this is BCB! You have accomplished so much. Look at yourself, and pat yourself on the back, YOU deserve it!

 

Congratulations on your lifestyle change, a healthier you, and that amazing time on your marathon. You are an inspiration.

Great time!! I'm not sure if you're into biking and swimming too, but have you ever thought about doing a triathlon?

[PadreC 10]

All right a little more attention whoring on my part. You just read about people that did weight watchers and wonder if they kept it off. I'm at about 3.5 years now since I started "the program" and while I'm not an avid points counter weight watchers taught me to be mindful of points and how I was eating which I use at every meal today. I've kept it off!

 

Here's my latest pic of me in a 1 mile race. My time was 5:45. You can see that there's some extra skin around the belly but I'd rather than that all the extra weight I was carrying around.

Nick the extra skin is your badge of honor, wear it proudly. You look amazing.

Pretty amazing; I had to share it with my husband, the fact that you've kept it off is wonderful and very encouraging!!!

[BR165 11]

Wow Nick! Very inspiring. You DESERVE a little attention whoring!! Especially when it's so helpful to others, who may be faltering!! AWESOME WORK!

Holy smokes! I am BLOWN away! Wow. Seriously. Very good job!! What an incredible inspiration you are. I am 25, and I always think to myself...if I'm not a runner by now, I'll never become one. It's just too late. But I see you...and I see what you've become..

Nick - I remember you from years ago when you still had a long way to go - and here you are at the finish line. You should be so proud of yourself - you have done fantastic! And not vain - you deserve to be a little vain - you look fantastic!! And you're teaching your kids how to be healthy and fit. A great role model, which is a huge bonus! Congratulations - keep updating!
