“First off, I went from 240 to 170 = 70lb loss. This August is my year anniversary since I got motivated. My main motivation was my age and I have two more kids to chase around. I figured if I just kept gaining a pound or two a year for the rest of my life I would ultimately become beyond obese. I weighted 180 in 1988. That means I gained an average of a little more than 3 pound a year up to 2010. I simply just wanted to have as much energy as possible to make my two little ones’ early years as enjoyable as they were for my older son. Can you imagine if my excuses that I could not get down on the floor and get silly with them was because I was too fat? No way could I or would I let that happen!
