Born to run:)

Hi ive been on this site a while now but tend to lurk mostly. Last year i saw a picture of me and decided enouugh was enough. Started at 269 and am currently 180. Started running at the start of the year. Have done over 20 races and did my first marathon in june. 2 more marathons this year with the next being this Sunday. The first pic is of me before i started my weightloss and the second is me after i had just finished the marathon

Holy hell man, that's fantastic. Being as big as you were, I would expect you to probably have a bit of loose skin. However, if you're running all the time I imagine it's not that big of a problem. You look great, and good job!

Great Work! How many times a week do you run? When you started training for the marathons, how much did your food intake increase?

I add another "Awesome!" to everyone else's.

Your results are what I am shooting for - that shot of you at the end of the marathon is a huge inspiration for me - that's my goal. I want to be that guy.
