I was inspired to do this for a couple of reasons: 1) I have three great children and a beautiful wife that I want at least 50 more years with; 2) it is getting more difficult to find professional looking clothes in my sizes (44W); 3) my friend Brian lost 41 lbs and looks great (he often sets a bar that I reach for in life, family, creativity and now fitness) and 4) I want to feel better for me.
