YIKES! This weight has got to go!
In 1997, when my wife was pregnant with our first son, I kept up with her weight gain, quite well!
Gained 25 - 30 lbs on my already not too svelte frame.
Joined Weigh Watchers and lost, almost 50 lbs.
I had another 15 - 20 to go, but never made it to goal.
Over the past 10 years, I've been doing okay, but most of those pounds have crept back on.
I have two young boys and an active life planned, so I am not willing to continue this trend!
I know there ...

I know there is a Thin Chris in here! THIS TIME - I AM going to make it to goal and to a healthier me!
My beautiful wife is my inspiration & my biggest fan! With her loving support, the encouragement of my sons and Spark... I'M GOING TO DO IT!

Personal Information:
I'm 52 and live in Everett, Washington.
I am extremely fortunate to have a wonderful, loving and "hot" wife, PAULATURNING50, who supports me in all of my life and health endeavors. And, who seems to want me to stick around.
I have two healthy, intelligent, terrific, talented, challenging boys, ages 10 & 12, who want me to lead the way or at least keep up with them.
I play the trumpet in a Brass Quintet.
I enjoy music, especially jazz, reading, hiking, running, traveling and playing with my family.
I am a veteran... have a MA in Psy & work in corrections.
Other Information:
I'm over 50 and have not been my "ideal" weight for way too long! I am at the age where my weight is affecting my health and lifestyle. So, it's time to get serious!
I enjoy running in organized runs. Plan to do a few runs this year.
I like science fiction (Star Trek, SG1), travel and smooching with my wife!
