The Fitness Race - How I lost 140 Pounds Eating At McDonald's

...And you can too! In the fall of 2004, I had had enough. I knew I had been morbidly obese for years, but the grim reality of a short lived future slapped me in the face. After years of hearing what the doctors told me about my weight, I actually listened to what he said. He told me I wouldn't live much longer, and when I did go, it would be a "drop dead" event. The following is a short description of my story, and the journey I followed to go from where I was to where I wanted to be.

After struggling with his weight for more than twenty five years, in Nov 2004 Mark McKenna Little made up his mind that being unhealthy was no longer acceptable. Through sensible eating and increased physical activity (absolutely NO drugs or surgery) he lost 140 pounds and now does four triathlons per year. Early in 2007 he challenged a group at his church that if they were serious about losing more than forty pounds each... he would mentor them to make a total body transformation. SO, THE 2007 FITNESS RACE WAS BORN... Mark Little owns an unrelated business, which he operates, but is mentoring 15 individuals to make similar health and fitness transformations in their lives by September 30, 2007. Many of those in this group have well over 40 pounds of excess weight, but have set a goal to get light enough to do the 2007 Accenture Chicago Triathlon with Mark on August 26, 2007.

In 2004 at 313 pounds, after 25 years of failed attempts, I made up my mind to get healthier... through diet and exercise. In 8 months & 8 days I went from Class III obese to NORMAL weight. I now weigh 173 pounds and am actively doing triathlons in the summer.

I did all of this by following the same formula I advise my affluent clients (I'm a life coach that specializes in money)... 1. Pick a sensible method. 2. Seek the best advice and guidance. 3. Relentlessly implement (& have a plan for times of discouragement) 4. Seek accountability. This is how I have sucessfully helped people accomplish their financial goals and now it has transformed my personal health and fitness
