I Am

To our surprise (and joy), I'm a new father of a baby girl. While I've been working and raising my first 4 kids (all home schooled) through their teens I've allowed my health and my sense of who I am to suffer. I need this change so that my wife of 20 years, my oldest daughter who'll be a freshman in college, and my other children, including my new 7 week old, will have a father they can be proud of for years to come. I also want to be proud of myself....with a humble confidence. Mike K

Assignment #4 - Great Assignment Bill

I am doing this because I want to be Free. I want to be free from a life of comforting myself with food and hiding behind the fat wall that I've put around myself to act as a guard.....it's actually been a guardian that has been waving a sword back and forth preventing me from entering the path of s...

DAY 6 - Le Tour de Mike

My muscle memory (which is probably 70% ego) told me that I would dominate at the spin class today.  Well it didn't quite work that way.  I haven't been spinning in quite some time and my stamina was in hidding somewhere.  I remember that I used to be as good as the teacher and I'm so...

Hi Mike! Wanted to stop by and say 'Hi'. Thought of you today while doing my bike ride...Regardless of how far you have to go, with every turn of the pedals, you are that much closer to your dreams...to getting back to being the "Real Mike". Good luck buddy. I'm looking forward to sharing the "ride" with you along the way... Jim

Mike - Good luck to you. We have some similar issues, except my focus was on work instead of kids. I am taking myself back. I will give what I have to to make a living - but I want to be able to live to reach my retirement. I'll be watching your progress and cherring you on!!!! Nancy

Mike I pray for your sucess. When we put all of our effort into our kids and fail to take care of ourselves the weight thing happens. Now it is your time to regain that health and a new outlook. You are so worth putting the effort into it. You can reach your goal if you realize that it is so worht the time and effort to put into yourself. What you do will be just a great example for your kids to follow and the rest of the world. Good luck and God Bless you! Make a commitment you are taking this to the end. No mateer what! Marty

My Favorite Charity

I have two in mind but don't feel worthy of even mentioning them until I get a little further in this program.

To me, Transformation Means

I have so far to go....probably 100 pounds of weight loss...not even sure of the body fat percentage but's let's just call it "high". If I can loose about 75lbs and change the way I can play with my kids at the beach....I'll be transformed in a major way.

My Goals

Sticking to a program and finishing will be a huge accomplishment for me. My goal will be consistency in eating and exercising while trying to loose about 100 lbs.

My Intentions

My intentions are to try to do my very best and win this challenge. I intend to pick Bill Phillips up with a giant bear hug when he comes to visit.

Who I'd Like to Inspire

I'd like to inspire others who are very far away from healthy weight goals like me. If a guy like me can loose a bunch of weight and turn his life around then maybe others could be inspired to do the same. That would feel good.
