I am a 38 year old married father of three. I have tried several weight loss plans over the years I have always been on the heavier side since high school. I work an office job, sitting all day in a chair with a computer so exercise wasn’t always top on the list. Of course it didn't help going out to lunch 3-4 days a week. My weight caused me several problems – from lower back pain, to poor sleep and snoring, to acid reflux. About 3 years ago I was doing well with my weight loss and fitness, riding my bike about 5-7 miles a day to and from work. I lost close to 30 lbs. But then I aggravated my back and stopped riding the bike.

Over the past 2 years, I have put back on all of the weight that I lost and more. I was feeling really discouraged with myself. I would play basketball or run outside with my kids in the yard and I would be out of breath in just a few minutes and have to stop. That was discouraging for me and disappointing for me and my kids. Sometimes I would have to catch my breath walking up a flight of stairs. Then in June 2009 I went to my goddaughters high school graduation and she sent me back pictures from the event. I couldn't believe what I saw. It was the absolute worst I had seen myself – the heaviest I had been. That for me was rock bottom. I knew I had to do something.

I had seen the 10-Minute Trainer infomercials before and really loved watching the program and success stories – but I never had the nerve to order – always something that I would put off – maybe someday I would order. But after seeing that picture of me and my goddaughter, I decided now was the time. Ira is my favorite story from the infomercial and I took to heart what he was saying - if he can do this - I can do this. He seemed genuine – not like some scripted actor or something. So I ordered the program and started 7/25/09.

I am looking to make this program work for me and help me loose the weight and get in better shape for myself and my kids. If I make it through the 10-Minute Trainer, I plan on moving to P90X......setting my sights high.
