My name is Drew, 38 years old and I'm in Sacramento, CA.
I have wrestled with this long enough. This needs to happen. And now. As my close friend Jim Morrison would say " Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin..."

I guess that is the big question. Am I in? Am I down for the challenge? I have been here before and I hope I will not be here again. I can't be here again. I don't think I could handle one more time of reaching a goal and then completely losing it!

At one point I had lost 70 pounds and was well on my way to being the person I once was, then something inside me snapped. I just started not caring anymore.

I have snapped back and have come to terms with what needs to be done. We shall see what the journey yields. What do the 12 Steppers say "Easy does it" and "One day at a time"? There is some wisdom in that for sure. That has to be my mantra for now.

My Goals:
The pictures say it all. I have totally forgotten who I am and where I want to be in my life. I want to be a rock star. I want to be stared at for looking healthy and fit, not over weight and on deaths door. I want to have the motivation and energy to do anything that comes to my mind. Not have to worry weather or not I can physically do it. Sit at a restaurant booth comfortable. I don't want to be able to use my stomach as a table. I want my legs to stop swelling and my feet to stop hurting. I want to be around to see my grandkids.

My Program:
I am going with the flow on this one. I have a lot of knowledge that I have used in the past to achieve amazing results. I lost site of my emotional reason for what I was doing and got to into the program and the science and ignored the reasons that make me eat like crap. So my program will be more about fixing the inside all the while knowing the outside will catch up in due time. Patients is my program!

Personal Information:
I am 38 years old, been married to the same beautiful woman for the last 20 years and have two amazingly gifted and stubborn children that frustrate me on a daily basis. Creativity is how I make money (not a bad job to have) and I am really into music, movies and art. I love the thought of exotic places and travel and hope I will have the means to do so someday. I am flawed, broken, brilliant and love life.

Thanks for inquiring about how I'm doing. I'm doing great! I've lost a total of 31 lbs and finally fit in to some of my winter clothes from last year. I quit smoking in January and gained allot of weight over the Summer. Hence I "outgrew" all of my clothes. I'm beginning to fit in to them again and am really thrilled about that. I even had to adjust my watchband a notch! I was adamant not to buy any new winter clothes! It would have been the ultimate defeat. I was prepared to run around in shorts as long as it took to fit back in the winter clothes. Of course I live in Arizona and I would have survived but not very comfortably.

I have the holidays all planned out. We're celebrating Thanksgiving and Christmas at my daughter's. That way she can deal with the leftovers. She'll also get to do the cleaning...lol. I'm providing the food. However I ordered a ready made turkey with all of the fixings and all it needs is reheating. I did that for the first time last year and my daughter stated it was the best turkey she ever had. All those years of slaving away in the kitchen...had I only known!

I'm hitting the gym 5 times a week. I've never gotten this sweaty in my entire life. But it's paying off big time. I put on quite a bit of muscle and am convinced I would not have fit in my old winter clothes had I not toned up and only lost weight. In addition to the gym I get to walk my dog. She's becoming spoiled rotten and wants me to walk her several times a day. But I'm not quite ready for that commitment, except on weekends when I don't hit the gym. I do have a big yard for her for the weekdays..

I've been reading your as ever inspiring and interesting blogs. You seem to be doing fantastic! Yeah on all the weight you lost and having to get smaller clothes! Have you found a new form of exercise yet? Congratulations on all of your successes!

Will send you an email with name. Don't want to broadcast it. I have a couple of months before I am eligible / worthy of getting the name. Layla Slay Ya is my fave so far but I am unsure if it is registered somewhere.

Congrats!!! Awesome; you must feel great and very happy with those new shorts and more importantly with yourself.

My DH (SI1LV3RBACK) has been doing the same thing and it is so inspirational to SP succeeding.

Again, congrats emoticon emoticon emoticon .
