About Dan

Born in Chicago in 1977 (32 years old), Dan moved to Florida when he was just 4 years old and has lived there since. He has been married since 2006 an is currently working in the TV industry as an audio engineer.

About His Weight

For a big part of Dan’s life he was an athlete. He played many sports in high school and continued his sports career through college and even a bit of post college sports. After the sports career ended Dan continued to play sports recreationally, including hockey, softball and basketball.

In 2005 Dan was involved in a major car accident. A fully loaded 18 wheel tanker truck ran into his stopped vehicle at 45 miles per hour. Dan suffered significant damage to his neck and back that required quite sometime to recover from.

The injuries made it difficult to exercise and near impossible to play sports. The sedentary lifestyle that was a result of the crash made Dan gain weight for the first time in his life. From 2006 to January 2010 Dan went from weighing a fit and trim 175lbs to 225lbs.

About his Struggle

Because of his athletic lifestyle Dan was never concerned about his diet. He ate poorly and enjoyed many types of fast food. His diet included tons of food and most of it was quite unhealthy.

After the crash he continued to eat poorly and this plus a sedentary lifestyle caused him to gain quite a bit of weight.

What Now?

In January 2010 Dan decided enough was enough. The injuries from the crash can no longer be used as an excuse (he can exercise and play most sports now). It is time to get back into shape and to learn to eat more healthier.
