Today starts the Fit in February Develop Challenge and I have decided to go ahead and participate.  2 years ago after seeing my 3 older brothers for the first time in many years I noticed that we had all put on excessive weight.  I was embarrassed to sit there realizing how much weight I had gained since leaving the Navy in 1995 and determined to take it all back off.  I knew how important it is to stay fit as I lost my Step-father to heart attack a little over 12 years ago.  He was only 55 at the time.  Over the next 6 months I lost almost 60 lbs and was back down below my final weight when I left the navy.  I was pretty happy with my accomplishment and feeling much better.
