Rick?s Bio: ?I?ve been overweight since I was 8 years old.? At my heaviest, I?d say I was near 450 pounds, but I know for a fact that on February 14, 2012, I was 426 pounds.? That?s the day I woke up with a newfound determination.? The night before, I had a pizza binge after a bad day at work.? It was my normal source of therapy.? But that night, I stayed up, sick with indigestion. It got me thinking just how much of a waste my life was becoming! ?I deserved more. I deserved, at least, to make an effort to lose the weight.

Since that time, I?ve slowly built a healthy lifestyle.? One step at a time, I?ve made changes that have created the life I live today.? The first week I walked 15 minutes a day and gave up fast food.? The next week, I added 5 minutes to my walk and gave up soda. I continued that approach and kept building up those steps.

Today, I?ve lost 190 pounds and weigh around 236 pounds.? I?ve run 2 5k?s.? I joined a gym, and I love lifting weights now.? I?m working with an online trainer to take my training to a new level.? I hope that my story can encourage someone who may think, ?What?s the point? ?I?m too heavy to do anything about it.?

To them I would say, forget the big numbers and focus on making each day count.? Take it one step at a time.?
