Introduction Text For my old friends, and anyone new who finds my sparkpage, I am now 55 I started on SP in 2009, and used it religioiusly until I fell off the wagon, soon after I found another site I liked and haven't been around much. Not much has changed, I have gained back all but 15 of the 53 pounds I lost starting in 2011. But I never stopped trying, I've kept my jogging going, but let my food get out of control. I live and work in China. And during the winter, I routinely watch Biggest Loser and think, I should do that. A couple years ago, I started on SP, lost 30# (needed to lose 100#) and kept it off for more than a year, but never got back on track. In Dec 2011, my kids challenge me to do a family Biggest Loser contest with them... that got me fired up and in year I was down below 300# for the first time in five years. But now, I'm back at 334#. I am working to get myself to 220# before my 55th birthday which will occur in July 2015. I have big goals for this year, I want to run the Great Wall 1/2 marathon, a 10k this summer, and break 30:00 on a 5k some time this year. Just want to break 30:00. I now weigh (1-7-2014) 344.5# , and it's time to get working again.

Weight Goal 220# Waist = 38" Chest = 44" * 5K goal = 24:00 * 10k goal = 50:00 * Do a triathlon * Hike Paris Peak * Run to the "Y" * Bench 285# * Squat 300# * Play 18 w/o back ache * Climb the Great Wall without a seizure

I started walking.. then a little WOGGING... in Jan my mile was 18:39... today (8-15-12) it's 13:33... I also have taken up swimming... though the past few weeks have been frustrating because of summer in China. GYM - I need to get back into lifting, I am happier, stronger, and feel better. Kettlebells Burpees Push-ups Sit-ups and crunches

Married 28 years 4 kids - 26,24,22,20 I'm gonna be a grandpa in Dec 2013... I have a mini-schnauzer named Ranger, couldn't live without a dog.
