Losing Sixty Pounds by Jogging

James has lost over 60 pounds in seven months by training for a half marathon. He says;

Over seven months ago, my wife made a suggestion: that we get in shape by training for a half marathon. I believe I laughed out loud at the suggestion. I've never been a runner, nor any type of athlete for that matter. The last time I ran over a mile at one time was during middle school..."

James used to weigh over 250 pounds. Now he's in great shape. Check out his blog and story here.

She used to weigh 250 pounds at 5'5''.

She lost the weight by joining a gym and exercising regularly. But she says “You can’t out-exercise a bad diet”. And so she also went cold turkey on Day 1 in terms of throwing out all sweets and processed foods and switching to lean protein and fresh fruits and vegetables. Her kids (age 4 and 7) have learned to love sushi.
