I was born in 1951 in Western North Carolina. I met a young lady in 1969 that became my wife in 1970. We had three kids, two daughters and a son. We have 15 grandchildren.
For over 40 years, I have been in the ministry of being a pastor of Baptist churches and doing evangelistic work. I have preached in all over the Southeastern part of USA.
Enjoying the fellowship of the church people, I gained a great amount of weight. I was weighing 306 pounds when I had a heart attack. The Doctor asked me to lose weight and that would help me. So the journey of weight loss began.
I had lost 133 pounds and then after a back injury that prevented me from exercising properly. I began to gain weight back until I gained about 50 pounds. Now the journey has begun to lose that excess weight. When I gained this weight, My blood pressure increased and my blood sugar increased as well. I can't wait to get back to a normal weight for me.
