Hi... my name is Greg Adams and I live in Omaha Nebraska (Go Big Red!). When I was young I was very active and fit.

Hi... my name is Greg Adams and I live in Omaha Nebraska (Go Big Red!). When I was young I was very active and fit. I played football (looking at me now it's hard to believe I played wide receiver) and basketball in high school and qualified to dive in our state championships. I continued to dive my freshman year of college.

I joined the U.S. Army Reserves and became a Cavalry Scout. After returning I started working in the hotel industry where I met my wife. At the time of our marriage in 1989 I weighed 175 pounds and had a "six-pack". Unfortunately that was the beginning of the end... for my health that is not my marriage... my wife and I have been happily married for 22 years and have 2 great boys!

I started focusing on my career and as I rose up in the ranks of Corporate America, I spent way more time in boardrooms and none in the gym.

In 2005 I left the hotel industry and started a real estate company in Omaha. Obviously this took a lot of time and my health continued to slide down hill.

Finally in the beginning of 2008 I had reached 285 lbs and decided I needed to make a change. I started working out and eating right and got down to 261 lbs. Unfortunately in July of that year my father became very ill and ended up passing away in September after an extended stay in the hospital. Because of family circumstances it was left to me to handle almost everything during his illness and after his death (my wife a great help but she could only do so much).

To be honest I did not handle my father's passing well and ended up bottling up a lot of unresolved emotions which led me to abusing food all over again.

In August '11 I decided to refocus on my health after tipping the scales at a high of 308 lbs. (it sickens me to even type that number). On August 16 I started eating well, counting calories and exercising almost every day on my treadmill. By the time I was introduced to Team Beachbody in October '11 I had lost 25 lbs!

This brings me to October 9... this was the beginning of my Power 90 experience. I weighed in that morning at 283.2 lbs and started the 6 Day Fat Burning Express workout. I turn 48 this month and I'm committed to getting down to 179 lbs and with the help of the Team Beachbody community... I know I will be successful!
