When I saw the success that my wife had with the bodybugg, I thought I'd give it a try.

If someone had told me that I could get back to the weight I was when in my twenties, and in less then four months, I would have called them crazy! It took me years to gain the weight, and with that weight came a knee surgery, as well as other medical complications. One of the biggest reasons I didn't try was that I thought it would take me just as long, if not longer, to lose the weight as it took to gain it. Painful knees didn't help. I got used to the idea that getting older and gaining weight went hand in hand. Sure, your metabolism slows down, and you’re not as active. But, I found out that knowing what your body is doing at all times makes all the difference in the world. As the weight started to come off, my walks became longer. Then the walks turned into light jogs. Now I'm running everyday, and still cannot believe that I can.

After my first few weeks on bodybugg, Rhiannon Decker, one of the bodybugg phone coaches, called me to go over a few things. When she saw my initial weight loss, she warned me about losing muscle as well as fat and recommended weights and protein, as well as glucosamine for my knees. I took her advice, and well, here I am!
