I wanted to share with you this inspiring weight loss story I wrote for my other job as a news reporter for the Jersey Journal.
Tony Gomez is a detective in Union City, NJ, and he happens to have lost more than 90 lbs. in the last year.
He's now training for his second 5K and inspires other cops in his department to get fit. Actually, he tells me that he's made a few of them throw up when they attempt his workout routine. ; )
This is Tony, in July 2009.

This is Tony, a few weeks ago. Amazing!
What struck me the most about Tony, is his motivation. He says he got seriously hurt last year when he bent down to tie his shoe, and was out of commission for 10 weeks. That's what spurred him to finally get fit. Check out the whole story here and see some more photos here.
Hope this story inspires you to keep moving. I know interviewing Tony last week seriously inspired me!
My motivation for being fit is wanting to break the curse of poor health and obesity in my family--not just for me, but for my (future) children too! How about you, what's your motivation?
Good Evening. Please be sure to check out my blog when you get a chance. I have something for you there.
