![]() Have you heard about Chris Davis? Not too long ago he was 700lbs. He measured the distance he could walk in feet, and had to plan his route from car to office carefully. He went to the doctor to see about gastric bypass surgery and was told he was TOO HEAVY. Chris motivated himself, lost 100 pounds, had the bypass surgery and has not stopped pushing himself since. Today finds him in Pittsfield Vermont, home of the Spartan Race "Spartan HQ," where he is training with Joe De Sena for next week's Spartan Ultra Beast. It's a 26+ mile obstacle course on the face of Killington Mountain. We've been documenting his progress in weekly videos for the last 20 weeks, and we can't wait to see him take on the Ultra Beast. Go get it Chris! We're rooting for you. You can follow Chris on Facebook at the Project Chris Davis page.

So proud of you. Iam glad you made the decision to take control of life and live to live, not live to eat. I was on the opposite side of the spectrum you were. I struggled with bulimia for over 10 years, I was so obsessed with my weight, the #'s, and not allowing myself to gain weight, but I was hurting myself everytime and it was all a mental/emotional control situation I had to overcome. Today I am married to an ARMY soldier who has been with me and my up's and downs for the last 4 years, have three kids(2 1/2, and twins 12months!! ) and all girls. I am proud to say that I changed my life on my own, that I read up on eating disorders, and I have not resorted to my previous distructive actions that I once relied on. I have not allowed myself to do that since I found out I was pregnant the first time. I do not tell many people about it. But I am so proud of myself. Lots of factors can contribute to people with eating problems and I am glad you have changed your life around. I hope you enjoy life and if you are ever in the south come out and do a MUD RUN with us!!! Good for you Chris!!
