I am a 47 year old man that has let himself go more than a few times over this life. I have been up and down on my weight all my life. In High School 5' 6" weighing 240 lbs. In the Marine Corp at 6' 1" weighing 160 lbs. Living it up in Hong Kong to 270. Losing weight in Hong Kong to 190. Gaining weight in Kansas to 290. I am ready to get down and stay down. Back problems have been my number one protagonist. An amazing therapist has gotten me off that roller coaster.
I am an Engineering Manager who spends a lot of time behind a desk. I have a wonderful wife and two great children. We live in the Midwest though I was born, raised, and lived most of my life in California. I love the Midwest, the people are the absolute tops, and the longer I live here the more my "Coast" bias leaves me and the more I come to love flyover country.
We, my family and I, have made a commitment to changing our lifestyle completely. We are arming ourselves with knowledge, motivation, and a big heaping scoop of willpower. We just joined a gym and are all working hard to improve our life's, now and for the future.
I am a positive person who has always embraced the best in life and hope with the changes I am making that I will be able to embrace life for a long number of years to come.
