I stopped smoking in March 2006 and I've put on 70 lbs!!! My lungs are better, now I'm starting to worry about my heart ... lol ... I have two children, a 20 year old daughter in her third year at university and a two year old son in diapers. I hate getting winded trying to keep up with my little guy, so I'm now committed to not only lose weight but to get back into shape so I can take my shirt off and not feel insecure going into the pool with my son.

I tried counting calories and eating better, it worked for a while, I lost 12 lbs, then I got hungry and gave up, starting eating all my favourites and before you know it, I was back hovering around 250lbs. I started an extreme workout routine called P90X on April 6, 2009 and I'm down 7lbs in less than 2 weeks. I'm eating tons of protein as per their diet guide, I feel great, totally pumped and committed to following through the 90 days to see the results. My before pics are pathedic, so I'm not going to post them until I have some awesome after pics in a couple months.
