UPDATED BIO... I am now 39 years old, still a father of 2, married for 13 years and live in Michigan. I come from a family that struggles with weight so it is in my genetics I guess. at my heaviest I weighed 193 and I am only 5' 6" tall. this put me about 40 lbs over a healthy weight for my size. I have always been active up until about 9 years ago when the stress of life took over, this is when I gained most of my weight. I have decided its time for a change so I am on a warpath now to get back down to about 155 and get back in shape. I am currently using the low-carb way of eating as well as intermittent fasting and have had great results so far. Hoping to be down to my goal weight by June... that's when the boat comes out and the shirt comes off!
