About me

John - IronMan 2004

Greetings.

My name is John.  In 2003 at the age of 35, my life changed forever.  I fought the battle of being overweight many times in my life and more or less had just accepted who I was.  I was busy running my own business, eating garbage, and burning myself out. 

I didn’t truly see the effects of what I had physically become until I saw a picture of myself at a trade-show conference I had just attended. 

One look at that picture, and I decided to change my life forever.  I was weighing in at nearly 280 pounds.  Even at 6′4″, that’s still what I consider drastically overweight.  I took off 100 pounds (98 to be exact) within 6 months and now continue to maintain a nice weight of 180-185 pounds.

I went from being a stressed out, junk food eating ‘fat man’ to participating in (and completing) the 2004 IronMan Wisconsin in less than 18 months.  I’ve told the story to many friends and shared a lot of motivational advice along the way.

Now wouldn’t it be nice if there was some way I might be able to help others find their own inspiration and motivation to truly succeed and change their lives forever.

I hope that you’ll find something of interest on my blog and encourage you to send your feedback and contact me, I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks!
