I am a 48 year old male with 3 wonderful children & a beautiful wife who has always stood by my side. I, like so many others, looked in the mirror recently & said "What in the world happened to me?" I have gained about 50 pounds in the last 3 years because of being a couch potato & being addicted to carbs. It also didn't help that I tore up my knee * had to have surgery in June of 2007. I just decided to rededicate myself to getting in better shape in 2009. I used to be a runner in high school & college & I also ran 2 marathons. I would like to be able to run again.
