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.
