My Dad was overweight and unhealthy, and he died young. I wasn't going to let that happen to me.

That's what I wanted! I wanted to be an athlete, I wanted the girls to like me, and I wanted to be able to get good grades in school, and this man said I could do all that.

It's difficult to change overnight but if you are persistent and take one step at a time you will see results!

Inactivity is the killer and, remember, it's never too late.

That is the beautiful part about weights: even if you are 100 year old, you can lift something. Maybe it's only a half a pound or a pound or two pounds. It will still do something.

I don’t care how old I live! I just want to be living while I am living!

Never get satisfied. The minute you stop trying, you go downhill.
