-45 kg (-99 lb): Franz is into running half-marathons
From 140 kg (308 lb) to running half-marathons – yes, it is possible! Franz told us how he did it: “I started working out regularly on an exercise bike and tracking my workouts with the Runtastic app.” In order to lose even more weight, the 54-year-old took up running. “Today, I weigh 95 kg (209 lb) and I’m still losing weight: Don’t give up!”
-44 kg (-97 lb): Running is Inge’s favorite sport
Regular exercise is Inge’s weight-loss secret: “Mountain biking, running or hiking – I try out new fitness activities on a regular basis.” In combination with a change of diet, the mother of three lost 44 kg (97 lb). “My family says I am a lot more confident these days. I’m a completely new person.”
-43 kg (-95 lb): Klaus no longer needs his meds
Klaus had been overweight ever since he was young. At the age of 40, he weighed 117 kg (258 lb) and had high blood pressure. “I didn’t want to take medication my whole life. So I decided to finally lose weight.” Whereas Klaus used to eat more than 4,000 calories a day, the fireman now only consumes 1,800 calories daily. And sport has become an integral part of his life.
Today, the fireman weighs 74 kg (163 lb) and no longer needs his medication. “I lost weight not only for myself, but for my wife and two sons as well. Without the understanding of my family who gave me so much support, I might not have reached my goal. I also ran my first half-marathon this year. And in 2017 I want to take part in my first triathlon.” Way to go, Klaus!
-41 kg (-90 lb): Patrick feels great
123 kg (271 lb) before, 82 kg (181 lb) after… how did Patrick do it? He asked his better half for advice: “My significant other helped me change my diet. And then we started running together.” Today, Patrick loves to exercise and can now run 14 km at a stretch. “I’m proud of what I have achieved!” And we are too!

-32 kg (-70 lb): Travis has turned his life around
Travis has had some tough times in the past: “My child had cancer and my marriage was in a crisis. And I was totally overwhelmed by the situation… That is also when I started to gain weight.” In the end, Travis weighed a total of 110 kg (243 lb). He didn’t want to live this way anymore, so he sought help: “Push-ups, sit-ups or running – Runtastic provided me with everything I needed.” After shedding 32 kg (70 lb), Travis now feels physically and mentally strong.
