Eagle, ID As you can see by my pose in the picture, I am a thick Norweigen from Minnesota. I now live in Eagle, Idaho with my beautiful wife and two boys. I was always the big kid and my pants back in the 70's were HUSKY TOUGHSKINS!

I was always the big kid and my pants back in the 70's were HUSKY TOUGHSKINS! I have always had a perception of myself as overweight because all members of my family are obese, have high cholesterol, and a few are now diabetic. It's been a life long battle for me to lose weight and keep it off. I am a 13 year survivor of cancer and six months ago I decided to make a lifestyle change in regards to my weight and fitness. I have lost 40 pounds over the past six months!! But, I have hit a plateau so I decided to use some of the BeachBody products beginning in August 2009. I am currently finishing the seventh week of P90X Classic and my strength and endurance have increased dramatically. I am going to continue towards acheiving my goal of attaining six pack abs. Check back in the Spring of 2010 and the photos should show you my results.

I am a 13 year survivor of Thyroid Cancer and weight loss is extremely difficult when your Thyroid is out of whack. During the first week of February 2009, I went to the Doctors office for my chronic lumbar back pain and weighed in at a thick and flabby, 256 pounds, which put me into an instant depression! It has always been difficult for me to keep off extra weight due to my genetic make-up, FGS(Fat Guy Syndrome). My pant size at that time was 40" waist pant size. I knew it was time to make a change, especially with my 40th birthday on the way. During the month of April 2009, I told my family and friends at a BBQ that I was setting a goal to lose 40 pounds by my 40th Birthday, which allowed me roughly 6 months to achieve my goal. I turned 40 on November 5, 2009 and I met my original goal by losing 40 pounds over a period of six months. Goal ACHEIVED! It is truly amazing what happens when you attain a personal goal. Once you experience success when setting a difficult challenge for yourself, you begin to understand that all is possible if only you beleive. It is UN-FRIKEN-BELIEVABLE how it has changed my life Mentally, Physically, and Spiritually! I am loving myself more and more each day and it is very easy to inspire others and stay inspired on my journey. Please join me on your road with your personally journey, I would love to assist you in anyway I can.
