Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile. I am a 40 year-old husband and father from Canada. I've been married to my wonderful wife for ten years, and we have an amazing 5 year-old son and a retired racing Greyhound. I'm a criminal prosecutor, handling cases from shoplifting to murder, and everything in between. I have a great job, but the best part of it is that I have a regular schedule, which lets me spend a lot of time with my family.

Growing up, I was one of those kids who could eat as much of anything that I
wanted, and never put on an ounce of weight. Even into my 20s, nutrition
didn't matter. I was 6'2", and about 160lbs.

That changed when I hit my late 20s. Suddenly, my body was reacting to
what I put into it. For example, I remember making Kraft Dinner, pouring
syrup over it and eating the entire thing, right out of the pot, while watching
tv, and then taking a nap. In the space of about 5 years, I went from 160 to
215. The one thing I'll always remember about being that heavy is lying on
my side in bed, and feeling my belly slump towards the mattress. That was
something I never want to feel again.

So, my girlfriend (now my wife) and I went on the Zone diet. In about a year, I
was down 40lbs. While I lost a lot of weight, when I look back at pictures of
myself from then I see that I also lost muscle. At 173lbs, I looked painfully
skinny and unhealthy.

After losing the weight, it slowly started to creep back as I relaxed my
nutrition. I mentioned to my wife that I was tired of sitting on the couch
every night, and wanted to do something active. We joined the local YMCA
and started exercising. That was about six years ago. I've completed two rounds of P90X, one of P90X+, Insanity, Asylum and P90X2. These programs have made a huge difference. I'm stronger and fitter than ever. I'm about 177 lbs, and my bodyfat, according to the scale, is 10%, while according to the fat calipers, it's 5.6%. The results I felt during the workouts and can now see in the mirror have charged me up to make fitness a lifetime commitment! THANK YOU BEACHBODY!!
