This 120 pound (54.5kg) journey is not mine but Ben Davis. But it is inspirational video on YouTube. This video shows Ben Davis who has lost 120 pounds from running. He has now done 7 marathons and 2 Ironman. His amazing transformation can be seen in this video, "My 120 pound journey" who has been viewed more than 1.6 million times. He has gone from depressed recluse to a motivational speaker.
"If you want to do something with your life, if you really want to do it, just do it. I promise that you can. You just have to do it. And when you do, you’ll be happier for it." ~ Ben Davis

How long did it take you to go from 365 pounds to running a marathon and Ironman?
- I started walk/jogging on January 5th, 2009 and crossed the finish line of the Denver Marathon on October 18th, 2009. So 10 months. August of 2010 was our first Ironman. So that took ~19 months. In my opinion marathon and Ironman are much easier (obviously they are still difficult) than people think. If you get involved with a training plan and stick to it, you will get there. You just have to commit 100%.
