Hi, My name is John. I currently work as a banker, and also run a small non-profit company called HOOSERDADDY.ORG to help fight child abuse.

Truth be told I have always been overweight. Even being very active growing up I was still overweight. I played football, wrestling, and baseball. I was very good at all of them, but never had the diet to match. My parents have never really knew about any type of Nutrition. So in turn I had no idea.

As a freshmen in high school i was 200 lbs then. I played football in the fall and winter I started wrestling. I have wrestled since the 2nd grade and never worried about cutting weight. well in order to get on the varsity team I needed to cut 40 lbs, at age 15. It almost seemed easy then to cut that weight. It took one month and some major crash diets and hunger to get there but I did. I was a freshmen wrestling varsity at 160lbs. The sad thing is I was still called a fat kid. When I was introduced at a prep rally as our teams 160lb varsity wrestler people did not think I was 160lbs. I over heard people talk saying there is no way I am 160lbs more like 220. Well all that stuck with me, and my view of who I am.

I keep those 40lbs off for 3 years and then my sr. year came around and injuries pushed me up. I had knee and shoulder surgeries. I graduated high school the same weight I came in as a freshmen 200lbs.

After High School I started working out everyday, but it was the same workout again and again. I never changed it up and never gave my body time to recover. I was getting stronger just not changing my body image. The image is what I had the biggest problem with. I then got to about 230 LBS.

I moved away to Tempe, AZ in thought of coming back home to New Mexico a skinny man. I now have Gout form my poor eating habits and drinking.

September I quit drinking and stop eating red meats among many other things I stop eating.

My gout still flairs up and I can't walk for weeks at a time.

I am currently 265LBS. I have to do something about this!!!

I order P90X and it will be at my door anytime soon.

UPDATE:
Started P90X in Jan. 2010. 1st week and 1/2 I loke 10 lbs right away. But had a Gout attack every time i started the diet. \

I am giving it another chance now in Nov. 2010. I am now engaged to be married May 14th....

I have lots of reasons and motivations. Just need to keep it and stay healthy to get healthy.

It's CRUNCH TIME!
