Harry’s Story…
I am 6 foot 1 and over 300lbs now. About a year and a half ago, I was at 350 lbs and unhealthy but I lost 80 lbs over 100 days with hard work, hard exercise, and good food. NO magic formula, no pills, no weight loss centers, just the basics put into application. I felt GREAT! I slept better (my snoring and restlessness disappeared), I never got winded and I had lots of energy. I even had my two oldest girls (at the time, 5 and 4) working out with me at times. Heck, I even was getting into Yoga with them! (you’d have to see me to believe that one).
Anyway, my department at work was shut down, but my company moved me from a warehouse position to a sales/coordinator position at a hotel in St. Louis. Glad I didn’t get unemployed, but the new schedule, the new eating habits and hours changed and I couldn’t adjust, so I stopped working out and then bad eating crept in. I still wanted to lose about another 50 lbs on top of the 80lbs I had lost, but now, 35-40 lbs have been put back on and all the old problems and habits are coming back.
This challenge is just what I need to get back on track. I’ve been wanting to force myself into the weight loss and exercise again, but I couldn’t find the motivation, believe it or not. You’d think just feeling soooo much better would do it! But, if I was in competition with 10 other people and had a drive and a focus, I sure I could be a really really tough competitor and who knows, hopefully the overall winner.
I guarantee this…if you choose me, you WILL have a competition. I am highly motivated by helping others succeed, but also exceed others expectations! So I think this would be a perfect fit.
What’s more, my oldest girl goes to Douglas and my middle girl goes to Washington. I’d like to play for Washington, because my wife informs me that they never get enough people using the Farmer’s for Education Card, and maybe if I won, it would get a little more advertising and especially with the double points in November and the Fruit salads, it would draw attention to your Market and your Card Campaign to help the kids. I would be a very vocal competitor and I’d love to have the backing of the school and the kids as inspiration. If that spot is taken, I could also do it for Douglas, but they seem to be doing good, and I like helping the underdog!
I have a Facebook account, I work in the Audio Visual Field, and I can post videos and pictures when needed throughout this challenge. Even if I am chosen, and some one else wins, they would have to do really well because I am motivated to succeed with this, and I’d still lose the weight, draw attention to the Card program, and help others lose weight along the way. It’s good all the way around!
I sure hope you choose me to participate. I’d love to inspire the kids, and others, and still show my girls, my wife, my family and friends, that even though you can fall off the “Fitness/wellness” wagon, you can always get back on and keep going to make this a healthy lifestyle, even through strife and trouble, like job situations and such. I’ve been lazy and made excuses. It’s time to get healthy again, and I’d love to have others join me and we do it together.
