I am a 45-year old happily married father of two -- ages 7 and 10. I am 6'3" tall and started this diet at 327 lbs. I need to lose more than 100 lbs. I started this diet after my 10-year old looked at me with a serious expresssion and told me I needed to start eating healthier, after I had asked him if he wanted to join me in a late night run for a cheeseburger. My father died with a heart attack when I was thirteen. I do not want to do the same to my kids. I plan to see them grow up and play with my grandkids one day. Wish me strength on my journey to becoming an ex-fat man!
