Weight Loss Success Story Submitted By: Dean Rissler from DE |
| Hi. On December 1, 2008, my father died @ age 67. He weighed 450 pounds. My 41st birthday was 2 weeks later 12/16/08. In mid January, I started my journey @ 300 pounds. Today, 7 weeks later, I am 279 pounds. The goal is 200 pounds by December 31, 2009. I was getting out of breath putting on my construction boots. I could see my 300 pound body moving dangerously in the same path as my father's. So, finally in mid January 2009, I signed up @ Gold's Gym. Playing racquetball and eating a salad daily, no more fast food burgers & pizza, more chicken & fish & less beef, I lost 12 pounds in the first 14 days. Then I plataued @ 287 for about 2 weeks. Finally, with some help from the YMCA (my new gym), the weight loss continued slowly. I can't remember the last time the scale said 279 while I was on it, except every time it passed that number. I am sure it has been at least 7 years. Now, 7 weeks later = 279. Wait till I get to 250 and 200. WOW !!!! I knew that my weight loss had to be for my health's sake for it to be a long term solutiion. I am now in training for several races: 5k scheduled 3/29/09 10k scheduled 4/25/09 mini-marathon Later marathon Much later Tri-athalon Even later Mount Kilamanjaro preferably sooner I have never been a runner in the past. Never was on the track team. I only played soccer in middle school and was a bike rider in high school. 7 days ago, my 5k time on the treadmill started @ 45 minutes then 37 minutes today 33 minutes, 50 seconds. Daily workout routine has been several hours: I do strength conditioning for my lower body, alternate days - upper body daily: ride the statitonary bike for 3 miles in a "hilly" program daily: use the treadmill for 1 hour (combination walk, jog) daily: swim in the pool for 10 lengths My ultimate goal is to climb Mount Kilamanjaro in Africa. It is considered a walkable mountain. Find a way to live your dreams before you die. Life is too short. This has become my motto. -- Dean Rissler drissler1967@gmail.com 302 983 6780 |
