I weighted 240 lbs that winter. Come spring, I started taking karate classes, riding my bike everywhere, went on a 2,000 calorie diet, drank lots of water, got two summer jobs and that fall I joined the track team.

I remember a couple of times, riding my bike from Windham, Maine to Biddeford, Maine (about 30 miles each way). I wasn't as big then and I was really used to riding my bike at that point so it wasn't a big deal. When I got home, my arms were nice and brown. I used to ride about 10 miles a day anyway to and from my summer job.

Oh, the point is that I got down to 180 lbs. I looked goood!

I hope I can do it again despite being 34.

There is no reason you cannot do it. It all comes down to dedication. Do you have any exercise or diet goals for yourself?

Can I do it?

DISCIPLINE! YES!
