I am 37 years old. Always been a bigger person but never really cared. Well all of a sudden i hit 291. Had shortness of breath one day and chest was hurting, The night before my wife woke me up and thought i was breathing differently. She really thought i would have died if she didnt wake me. I have 7 kids. I played my 2 oldest in a game of hoops. Every other basket i had to rest for 5 minutes. I decided to start getting healthy. I purchased a dvd video from beach body called power 90. Man did it kick my *kitten* bad. had to stop like 6 times. That was lil over a week ago. I am not 11 pounds lighter and able to do a whole workout without stopping(unless kids are causing trouble). I also take shakeology. This stuff is awesome. Helps with with a meal replacement and gives me so much energy. What is nice is that it is all good for you. All superfoods. I do plan on doing the phase 1-2 for 90 days then phase 3-4 for another 90 days. I will one day be able to play a game of ball with my kiddos again.

    good on you for taking care of yourself and for wanting to be there for your kids


    i'll add you

    "If you did have a million-dollar racehorse, would you let him stay up half the night drinking coffee and booze, smoking cigarettes and eating junk food?" "Would you treat your 10-dollar dog or your 5-dollar cat that way? What about your billion-dollar body?"



    anyone can add me
