The man who lost well over 300lbs. in something like 3 to 4 years after he joined the YMCA after being down on his luck and almost down to his last dollar? I saw only a snippet on the news,and then forgot to tune in any longer..so was wondering if anyone else had heard about it.Going to look on-line real quick...will post more if I find it.Amazing if it's a true story though!

I am so excited! He is from my area. Isnt it a great story!! Only it says he 'starved himself' the first 2 weeks which really isnt healthy but I cannot say if I was depressed and over 600 pounds what I would do. Here is a link for the Greater Cleveland Area YMCA -- you need acrobat reader to open this (pdf file) but the reader is free if you dont have it. He is now the Aquatics Director at the West Shore YMCA
this says winter 2005 but I still get fall 2004 which is the one you want see page 4 Y Profiles.
