My name is Ervin Helmuth; I live in North Venice Florida – Just south of Sarasota. I’m not sure why, but every time I think of the Olympics it takes me back to the 70's to the swimming events and Mark Spitz days. Maybe it’s the first time that I truly watched the Olympic events. This challenge has been great example how other teammates can be a motivation to do just a little more. I personally increased my daily walking from 20 minutes each day to 3 plus mile every day. I did not loose any weight however; I lost 1.5” off my waist (which I needed) and I feel great!!!
