Introduction I’m Josh and this was my wife, Jessica’s, blog. I stole it. I’m 28 years old, I am a son, brother, & father. I have struggled fought with my weight for literally as long as I can remember. I have always been over weight. I have tried losing weight before, maybe 20 times, but failed each time. Jessica and I have tried to lose weight before and we failed. I have 3 daughters- an 11 (going on 15) year old and twin 2 and half year olds- and I want to show them, WE want to show them, it’s okay to try and fail, but you pick up the pieces and try again- until you win, until you reach your goals. We started our journey towards weight loss and being healthy on January 2nd. It’s the middle of May. I’ve lost 49 lbs, Jessica has lost 35 lbs. We are still actively trying to lose weight and be healthy, we both want to lose more and gain strength. So far, our journey has been both rough and amazing. I hope my story, OUR story, will inspire others.
Interests I'm interested in all sorts of things. I love reading, it is a passion in my life. I love spending time with my family. I would rather spend an evening with my whole family than go out to a bar. I love anything that has to do with my daughter. We love going camping and doing outdoorsy stuff in the summertime.
Favorite Movies My favorite movie of all time is Man on Fire. I cried like a little baby watching that movie. Others include Notebook, Knocked Up, and Slumdog Millionaire.
Favorite Music I live for 80's music. I love it! I also listen to country, R & B and even a little rap. I love music!
Favorite Books I love any kind of book. My favorites are definetely love stories. I like to stay up all night finishing a book and then cry myself to sleep when it is a sad one.
