I'm from Lubbock, Texas, 42 years old, 3 kids (a 9 yr old son, a 17 yr old daughter & a 23 yr old son & one granddaughter). I am an Electronic Technician/Supervisor at a semiconductor foundry.
I started out December (2012) at my highest weight ever at 251 lbs. That was not an easy weight to be carrying around. I couldn't keep up with the 5 year old boys soccer team that I was coaching. Not a good example for 5 year olds to look up to. I had dropped 55 lbs since then but a leg injury kept me from working out for a few months last year and being lazy set in. I'm starting back up and hopefully I won't get deterred again.
