PERSONALS
What is your heaviest weight?257Was there a moment when you realized you had to change? When my kids started eating candy for every meal and I found I spent my entire day on the bed or on the computer I knew my life was not going where I wanted it to go. My kids would ask me to toss them in the air but I was so tired all the time it was a workout just to play ring-around-the-rosie with them.
What are your biggest health concerns? I don't want to die. I'm so big that my fat is crushing my lungs, clogging my arteries, and hurting my joints. I want to be around to see my kids have kids of their own and the way I was headed, that would not happen.
Did you ever feel like giving up? What made you keep going? I had given up on dieting and exercise for 29 years. My kids are the reason I am changing my life. If it wasn't for them, I'd still be on the couch, surfing the net, and slowly dieing.
FOOD
What food do you like? Burger, Bacon, and pizza are my favorite foods.
What food do you dislike?I hate mushrooms, avocadoes, and anything with a non-fat label
Do you have any obsessions? If so, What are they? All kinds of burgers. I never turn down a burger
What's your favorite junk food?Potato chipsWhat food can't you live without? Burgers…yeah burgers.
DANCE
What's your favorite dance?I haven't really ever danced before so I don't have a faverate dance per say. But I really like the Watz.
Do you have a fun/crazy dance story?No, the funniest thing I ever did with dance was try out for this show. Now look what my shenanigans have got me into.
What was dancing like at your prom?Prom? Oh yeah, I think I went there. I don't think I danced really. Just kind of stood in place and swayed in a circle.
Who's a better dancer: J Lo, Madonna, or Beyonce? Who? I'm not sure. I'd vote for Napoleon Dynamite
What's your favorite song to dance to? Do you think I'm sexy- Rod Stuart. I just love that song.
EXERCISE & WEIGHT LOSS
What do you think will be the hardest part of this challenge?The hardest part will be doing something new. I never moved around a lot and now that's all I'm doing.
What are your long term goals for yourself? I would love to be below 200 lbs. I haven't been that skinny since grade school.
Are there any exercises that you enjoy? Before I came on the show…no. Now that I'm here… I love dancing with Sara. She makes it a lot of fun.
What are your least favorite exercises? Situps and pushups. I think they are cruel and unusual forms of punishment.
Did you have previous failed diets? Did you have previous failed diets? No. I never really committed to a diet so it couldn't fail. Pretty weak excuse hugh?
FAMILY & FRIENDS
Have your family & friends been supportive in the process?I think this whole experience kinds surprised everyone, but everyone seems supportive of me.
Who is your go to person for support? My wife, Dora, is my rock. Without her I would be a compete waste of space. She gives my life more purpose. Without her and the kids, I wouldn't be motivated to do much of anything.
Are there other overweight people in your family?Yeah, we are all a bit fluffy. But that's why I'm here. So I can help change that.
What's the best advice you've been given?No excuses. Excuses are like butt cracks. Everyone has them and they all stink.
Who are your heroes?Sylar… wait you probably don't mean from the show… well then um I would have to say anyone who works hard to make their life better than it is now would be my hero.
