Crying... 😭"And the fans were going crazy. I think they were cheering me on. Because. Well. I was one of them. The common man." You're something special Charlie. Battling food addiction and conquering daily exercise can be one of the hardest things. You went from 0 to Ironman and its only the beginning 🙂
Everytime I watch an Inspirational story like this I start to tear up. I have gone through a similar story and everytime I watch back on some of these I realize the beauty of Triathlon being such a personal and invidual sport. Ben fatto. Well played. Respect.
Great story and so inspirational. In 2020, I was over 260 lbs and couldn’t run 1/4 mile. I made a contract with myself during the darkest days of the pandemic stuck in my house during lockdown fearing Covid because I had developed breathing issues and my Dr. told me I was at a very high risk of severe complications. I’ve since lost 90 lbs and just finished my first 70.3 a couple weeks ago in Wisconsin. I fell so much better about my health and this is given me the confidence to make my life better in so many ways. I finally feel that I deserve a good life. So much of your journey, experiences and comments resonates with me. I’m committed to do my first full Ironman next year.
I just watched your video on Rich Roll today and I'm so happy that you got through the Iron Man in New Zealand!!! Congratulations!! YOU are wonderful!!👍😃🙋🥰
Charlie you are a hero and an inspiration. You leave a million dollar job, lose all that weight and now you transform the lives of people all around our great nation
Great achievement Charlie. I watched my first IronMan in Taupo, 4 years ago and each time bar one of those years, I've returned to watch the inspiration that happens as night falls. For 3 of those years I resisted the temptation to enlist, with this year, 2018 we did not attend. That break away is what I needed to get my head straight and make 'that' decision that it was time to line up in 2019. My goal, like yours Charlie, is to simply finish. I'll think about travelling to the moon with you after that.
crying....watching this, Charlie your are SO inspiring, your not just the common man anymore, your are the MAN! Looking forward to seeing more of you and less of you...BTW - Hope you come back to New Zealand, we all love you here!! Kia Kaha !!
Congrats Charlie!!! Proud of you. Just watched you on Rich Roll. Glad to see you finished it. You are no longer the man you were. You sir, are an IRONMAN!!! BIG High Five, Buddy! 💚🌱👍
I love you, man! I hope your athletic dreams are still being realized. I first saw you on Rich Roll's show. Thanks for the inspiration. Would love to go running some day. Peace.
Hey Charlie! I just saw all of your shorts, and now this. Truly Awe Inspiring! 🙏🎯💖 My fifteen-year-old son is almost 6 feet and weighs 253 lb. 😑 I want to protect him from all the health issues involved at weighing That much at such a young age. I warned him that 250 was close 20 pounds ago, and now he's gone over by three more pounds. 😓😭 I will show him your video and Pray that he gets inspired as well. 🙏😘
Wow Charlie,big congratulations.And big thank you-I m running my first half marathon in 2 weeks and this is really what I needed to see now.And yes,i will go to the moon with you;)
Thank you for sharing your experience 💕Your story is truly inspiring, and I am so happy I found your channel. This video makes me believe I can achieve whatever I want if I work hard enaugh. Thank you
I enjoyed your video and glad to see you succeed. More importantly you had fun in your efforts and I respect what you did. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Oh Charlie! We've interacted via my other feed on Instagram @imwithfredrick & I'd just like to say you are the man! I had tears in my eyes! Congratulations Ironman! 🚀
I got here from yes theory, i used to have the same problem i always hit the gym and i quit, but ive been going to the gym for 2 months without stoping thats the longest without taking a break
well done Charlie, I watched you on Rich Roll and was hoping you would make it, great feeling hey? I did my one and only IM when I turned 50, you have more in you :)
Why this Freaking Inspirational Atom Bomb so low on Views and Likes...I have seen worst Inspiring videos get hundred thousands of likes and views. I am inspired from this Video and I ain't gonna stay silent. I will share it on every platform. There is someone like me..who once was super active but went silent and gained lazy attitude towards evrything...this video inspired me to the teeth and bone. There are people who need such gentle push towards their path of better healthier living. Share it people!!!!!!!!!
3:49 the old me was no more,and I became supreme patty. All jokes aside dudes motivational AF. I've skipped over all his videos ornpodcast appearances because when your stuck in that rut you dont want to hear about fat people losing weight you dont want to hear or think about how your not doing shit to change. But it's about that time

I'm a heavy set dude who also wants to do an Ironman, this video is motivating and gives me hope. Thank you, now let my journey start!
