Remember this: your body is your slave; it works for you.

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

I believe so strongly in what I do and I practice what I preach! My Dad died at fifty - do I have to die at fifty? My Dad ate all the junk food, he wouldn't exercise - how can you tell your Dad anything? We know about nutrition and we know about exercise. There's no reason for anybody to be sick and tired, fat and out of shape - it's ridiculous!

What you need to do is get that tape measure out, and start measuring that gut. Then you start working out and you start eating properly till that gut gets down close to it was when you were in your 20's. Then you'll find out what your weight should be.

Figure out what's good for you, then create a liking for it. You've got to work at living.

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

You start out with an hour on the treadmill, then another hour of lifting - hell, in two weeks you're not doing anything anymore. You gotta be reasonable.
