Hello I am Derrick. I am 34 yrs old. January 2010 me and my wife started watching The biggest loser and got ticked off at ourselves and have started back working out. I am former Army Infantry soldier who knows what it takes to get the lbs off. In January I weighed 280 lbs. as of yesterday I weigh 243 lbs. I ran a 5k race yesterday and finished in 31:30. We have recently joined our local YMCA fitness center. I did Zumba, Ab solutions, Iron Yoga and have started swimming. My wife who has never ever done any running has started and has went from 270lbs to 250lbs. I feel better than I have in years. I believe this has also helped me and my wife grow closer and falling in love all over again lol. I am joining this forum for advice, motivation and just to enjoy hearing other peoples achievements. We are thinking of ordering the p90x program and then maybe the Insanity program. We have 2 beautiful children ages 11 and 13. Who we have got involved in swimming now and local YMCA youth workout programs. We live in Middle Tennessee. Just wanted to introduce myself and look forward to interesting chat with others on here.
