“I Became a Runner and Lost 150 Pounds!”  Vice president at a
community bank Columbia, Mississippi  When I found out my wife
was pregnant in 2009, I wasn't exercising and I weighed 400
pounds. I wanted to be around for my son and I knew that I
wouldn't be able to if I didn't change something. I had tried
exercise programs before, but I never got to a point where it
was part of my daily routine. I knew that I had to start
exercising, and I had to do it in a way that I could stick with
it.  Starting small and adding a little bit at a time. When
you're 400 pounds, you can't just get out there and run the
mile. So I'd go out to a track and run the straight and walk the
rest of the lap. Each time I'd go out and add a straight and
eventually got to a point where I could run one time around the
track. That was a huge milestone. Now I'm not even getting my
heart rate up when I'm running that far.  START NOW: The Easiest
Walk-to-Run Program, Ever!  HOW RUNNING CHANGED MY LIFE: It's
hard to put into words how much bett
