Maintaining my weight loss


For most of my adult life, I weighed around 300 pounds, hitting a peak of 333. I lost weight on many diets through the years, but what always happened? I gained it back. This time, I have maintained the weight loss for 3 years. Why? There is no question that it is because I am involved with a physical activity that I love, which is running. I read last week that being physically fit was the number one reason for maintaining a weight loss. Of course, I totally agree. The key is doing an activity that is fun. If I didn’t enjoy running, I would have quit a long time ago.
Running clears my mind, gives me alone time with God, builds my heart and gives me self-confidence. I believe that a healthy, fit life is God’s best for us. My wish is to see my friends and family become healthy and fit.

If you want to get started and need some help, consider joining my Facebook group called “All My Strength.” You may follow me on Twitter ( @eddierobbins ) as well. If you are young, don’t waste time, start NOW. If you are older, like me, don’t waste any more time, start NOW! What would you like to do that you haven’t done in a long time? Running, hiking, walking, swimming, weight lifting, biking, tennis,? Let’s be healthy and fit, not only for us, but to take care of this body God has loaned us for a season.
