Losing 157 Pounds and Getting Super Fit

Hi all, sorry about the long hiatus. I haven't posted here in six weeks but have received several excellent weight loss stories which i will post over the next couple of weeks.


Here's Heather's story. It's incredibly inspirational. Be sure to check out her short video highlighting lots of before and after pics along her journey.


Heather used to weigh 315 pounds. She is 5'7". She has since lost half her body weight over the past four years. Here is her story;

Hi Isadora, 
I stumbled across your blog and have really enjoyed reading all the success stories! I have a weight loss success story I'd LOVE to share with your readers. 


In 2007 I weighed over 315 pounds which was a little much on my 5'7" frame. Over 4+ years I've slowly lost over half my body weight (157 pounds!) through diet and exercise. 


In 2009 I decided I needed an event to keep me motivated to work out and lose the weight. So I signed up for a sprint triathlon and completed it even though it was difficult at 250 pounds! I fell in love with triathlons after completing that race.

Since then I've completed 1 10k, 2 half marathons, 4 sprint triathlons, 3 olympic distance triathlons,  3 half-Ironman triathlons and 2 full Ironmans. 

Right now my quest is to win a slot in the 2012 World Championship Ironman in Kona. The Ironman folks are giving away 8 slots to inspirational athletes who best embody their mantra "Anything is Possible". 



I've uploaded a 90 second video here that talks about my journey.
