I am 53, married, with one son. A Automotive Engineer by trade, something I've been doing since 1984. My hobby is racing and restoration of Oldsmobile's. This keeps me busy in the shop (and out of trouble). On the health side I take some meds for cholesterol, blood pressure and type 2 diabetes. I can get off all of these if I get my body in order and that is the goal! The weight removed will also make the car go a little faster down the track so I'm excited about that too.
