I'll be 53 in December and don't want to be an old fat guy. I see too many men my age whose health is failing. I don’t want to be one of them.

I used to stay pretty fit while I was in military for the past 31 years. But for the last three years I really haven’t done much to stay fit due to a neck and back injury while deployed to Iraq in 2006. I have noticed that my body simply will not do some of the things it used to be able to do. Currently I am weighing in at 225 lbs. The heaviest I have ever weighed and decided I had to do something.

I was so tired of being tired, fat, and not being able to be as active as I use to be. So I was looking for a way to get fit. I saw a P90X infomercial but after looking at the fitness test I knew that it would be too much for me at this time so I started with the Slim In 6 program.

Since I have just started the Slim in 6 I have some lost weight but not any inches as of yet.

I feel excited to just lose some weight. I can’t wait for the inches in my waist to drop so I can get out of my big boy britches.

As some of you know two of our grandchildren have been living with us for the past 7 years. As I have mention earlier the injury to my neck and back I definitely want to feel better about myself and do my part to make sure I'm around to enjoy my children and grandchildren’s active future.

Due to my injury I am now forced to take a medical retirement because I’m unable to deploy, so I am losing my job with the Georgia Air National Guard (GANG) as well as my civilian job with the GANG. This is going to cause a 60% pay cut.

I have been looking for a way to get in shape, prolong my life, supplement the loss of income, and help others along the way.

I hope my wife will get on board with the program so we can do this together. But I don’t see that happening until after she sees the changes in me.
