MANKATO , MINN. - <\/p>\n
Kato Crossfit Member, Jason Peterson says, \"I was just under 300 pounds. It was a struggle, knees hurt, back hurt, play with the kids I have a 4 and a 7 year old, play with them for five minutes and sit down for a half hour and sit and watch them and it was just a lot to carry around.\" <\/p>\n
That's when Jason Petersen decided he'd had enough. <\/p>\n
Peterson says, \"I just needed something, I needed change or I was going to die.\" <\/p>\n
His journey began just over a year ago in April when he saw Kato Cross Fit was having a boot camp. <\/p>\n
The month and a half boot camp consisted of working out and writing down everything you ate. <\/p>\n
Peterson says, \"I didn't realize what I was eating beforehand was ridiculous. It was like 34,000 calories and I thought I was eating alright.\" <\/p>\n
And by the end of the boot camp his results were incredible. <\/p>\n
Peterson says, \"I had lost twenty two pounds in that first month and a half. And I really started enjoying the people, the people down here are absolutely amazing.\" <\/p>\n
Which motivated Jason to continue at Crossfit. <\/p>\n
Peterson says, \"I kept the tracking going, and the healthier I got, the more athletic I got out there and the weight loss, just the more I wanted to do it. The people here are so supportive, I mean everybody has watched me go through it and you see other people come here and they go through changes and it's just fun to watch.\" <\/p>\n
In the first six months Jason lost over 50 pounds. <\/p>\n
And now at a steady pace continues to see results. <\/p>\n
