We first blogged about Alex's success back in 2010 HERE. Since it has been nearly 2 years without meeting with Alex we wanted to follow up with him to see how he was doing. Here is what he had to say:
"When I was "in" the program [the first 20 weeks], I started biking as my exercise. I started running in the spring of 2011 and haven't looked back. I ran my first 5k that summer and fell in love. I had gained back some of the weight as I was eating not all the right foods all the time, but I still felt very healthy and I was exercising. I ran the mini marathon in Indy this past May [2012] and was so proud. I had sworn for years that I would never be a runner, and here I am running three times a week and loving every minute of it. I actually enjoy going for a run. I am currently training for my first marathon coming up in January at Disney. My current weight is 32 pounds lower than when I started in 2010 (there is more muscle in there now with the adventure runs and lifting I've been doing). "

We are so proud of Alex and his accomplishments in the program and after the program. We are excited to see what Alex does next with his improved physical ability, lower weight, and self confidence. He seems to be on top of the world!
