I am a 31 year old Father of five,husband to a great woman,and Chef.I have been over-weight all my life.About 6 years ago I gave up on life and my family. I packe on the pounds like no ones business.At my Heaviest I weighed about 635lbs Feb.2009. I got tired of seeing life pass me by and my family growing up and away from me.This year on July 13, 2009 I under went Gastric-by-pass surgery to save my life...........and I do belive it has worked! I am now spending more time with my family and doing more activites,actually my wife is now pregnant and due in June!MFP has been a god snet and all of the support I get here is amazing!Remember if I can do it anyone can do it!!!


These days I wake up and excerise wether its walking or playing with my kids,or my bike or even in the bedroom.I am walkin a little faster these days and can even jog ,a small distance ;but, its a start. Baby steps! I hope to be running soon.
