40th Birthday, 30 Lbs Lost

July 26, 2008

Today, I turn 40. I'm happy, healthy have family and friends that I

love and they love me...couldn't be any luckier.

In January of this year, I weighed 230 lbs --I'm 5' 8 & quot;. (My

doctors screw-ball scale said I weighed a lot more than that). But I

was sick and tired of being sick and tired about it. The picture in

the lower right is me in January. Diets were just another avenue of

depression and failure. But going into my 40's my bod is no longer

under warranty, so I needed to fix it.

I have been on the BFL program for about 6 months now at the

recommendation of a friend. I really like it, have had no problems

staying with it, don't feel deprived and have gained a lot more muscle

and tone than I had in my 20's. Since January of this year, I have

lost over 30 lbs and my doctor isn't lecturing me about my health

anymore. Most of the weight was lost in the first three months.

So for my before and after shots, here you go.

Today, I'm 40. All my friends and relatives are having a good laugh

about the & quot;old timer. & quot; It's all great. I'm willing to bet my

40's are as much fun as my 30's, more so that I don't feel embarrassed

about my weight and shape.
