The doctor said I couldn't run...


And he was right...at 122kgs the stress I was placing on my joints just with regular walking was too much.

But now...now, I've lost nearly 25% of my body weight and I've been given the all clear to start slow jogging and work my way up to a run. What that feels like to me is actually indescribable!

What I've learned on the way? Never give up! They said don't run, and I didn't...I walked. I walked off 30kgs, I walked off all my emotional attachment to food and the ...
And he was right...at 122kgs the stress I was placing on my joints just with regular walking was too much.

But now...now, I've lost nearly 25% of my body weight and I've been given the all clear to start slow jogging and work my way up to a run. What that feels like to me is actually indescribable!

What I've learned on the way? Never give up! They said don't run, and I didn't...I walked. I walked off 30kgs, I walked off all my emotional attachment to food and the bad feelings you carry from being overweight. I walked it off, and along the way I discovered a sport that I like which is also the natural step to becoming a runner.

I wanted to complete a half-marathon, so I did! I walked it! Never stop trying and you'll surprise yourself with What You Are Made Of...my personal mantra.

Join me on this journey, I didn't do it alone and neither should you...
