Anivair Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm in training for an ACT certification. A friend of mine is super overweight (weighed 460 5 weeks ago) and offered to be my training test subject. It works out nicely. I get free training experience and he gets free training. We just hit the 5 week mark on his program and I re-evaluated him tonight. he's lost 25 pounds, 2 inches off his waist, and is now able to do proper knee push ups and good planks. I'm super psyched for him, so here is his post. Quote Level 3 Human Ranger STR: 9 DEX: 5.25 STA: 14.5 CON: 5.5 WIS: 16 CHA: 5.5 My Current Challenge Link to comment
Wolfman Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Nice! I like that your woot is also a woot for someone else! Quote Level 1 Ranger in Training Current Challenge I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time. -- Jack London Link to comment
Raincloak Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Fantastic! Great start. I'm sure he has been through the yo-yo routine before, so just keep sticking with him. It's good that you were friends already because you will not lose contact with him later. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs.

Centurion Posted June 29, 2011 Report Share Posted June 29, 2011 Good work to both of you! 25 pounds seems like a lot to lose in 5 weeks, hopefully that will act as a motivational aid for your friend. Good luck with your qualification Quote Link to comment
