My name is Tim Ward and I’m a teacher and coach at Heath High School, in Heath, Ohio. Up until recently, I would have said my life was pretty normal… but apparently it isn’t normal to lose 115 pounds in 6 months or 154 pounds in a little over a […]
I was born a larger than usual kid, and my whole life I was always seen as “big”. Coming into the world at around 5.3kg (11.7lbs), I proceeded to get bigger as time passed. I had an appetite that rivalled most fully grown adults by the time I was 8 […]
