ED’S STORY

• Ed was thin as a kid.
• Over time, however, he developed an addiction to food and gained weight in high school and beyond.
  • He hid behind the humor and let people make jokes about his obesity. He even played along.
• But he has an amazing story and has reclaimed his health!

CONQUERING THE YO-YO

• After yo-yoing, he ended up at 407 lbs around 47 years old at 5’10”.
  • When he ‘re-met’ his wife, he knew he had to do something. 
  • He tried CICO, lived at the gym, and more.
    • It didn’t work!
      • For awhile, he felt helpless.
• Gaining and losing hundreds of pounds like Ed did is really bad for your body and all of your organs.
• He got down to 230s and back up to 330 in 2017.
• Then, his wife found this book: Fitness Confidential.
• At the time he was trying meal plans but began researching keto and realized the plans were a waste of money.
• And then, the real change began!

BELIEVING IN THE PROCESS

• As he kept reading, the wealth of knowledge built up.
• He feels that if you don’t believe in what you’re trying to do, you won’t really be able to do it.
• He also incorporated some fasting.
• In 6 months, he lost 100 lbs and was down to about 225.
• He started walking and counting his steps.
  • One day, he got up to 100,000 steps.
    • Ed did this at least a dozen times.
• And then, he began running.
  • He only did this after he began losing weight! Start with walking!
• Ed has done some ultra events now.
  • He did 200 miles recently!
    • This was over six days.
• Then, he went right into preparing for a 100 mile race.
• Ed is like a super hero!
