- About Me:
- Ah, the obligatory About Me post...
The quick rundown is that after a lifetime of being obese, I made the decision to lose weight and keep it off in 2006. I joined Weight Watchers, lost between 125-130 pounds and have kept it off for about a year as I write this.
In addition to keeping the weight off, I'm trying to improve my healthy lifestyle day by day. I am currently learning to wean myself off of as much processed food as I can and attempting to work more exercise into my life.
I'm a Type 2 diabetic (off all meds for about a year now!) and have high blood pressure, but otherwise I'm in fairly good shape considering what I've put my body through over the years. I guess what they say is true - it's never too late!

- What are your goals?
- To live as long as my grandfather, who passed away in 2004 at the ripe old age of 94.
- Favorite Music:
- Oldies, Classic Rock, Jazz
- Favorite TV Shows:
- I lost control of the remote years ago, but every once in a while I get to watch some NFL football or DVDs of some of my favorite shows, including Babylon 5, The Prisoner, Monty Python and the Classics: Looney Toons and the Stooges.
- What is your current exercise routine?
- Right now I'm in the middle of the Hundred Push Up Challenge, and I'm hoping to be able to complete a 5K on the 4th of July.
- What diets have you tried?
- I lost over 125 pounds on Weight Watchers and have kept it off for about a year so far. Years ago I lost 50 on Atkins but couldn't stay on it for longer than 3 months and wound up gaining it back plus some. Before I got married back in the 80's I went on a diet of my own design and lost 40 pounds. I looked damn good and it was the last time I was ever at a healthy weight as an adult for over 20 years. Until now, of course. :)
- What things do you want to do before you die?
- LIVE!
- What is your favorite book?
- I CAN eat just one potato chip. But I can't name just one favorite book. I love to read...
