A little bit about me, I'm 39, a divorced father of three and have struggled with my weight since I was little. As long as I can remember I've been the "chunky" guy. So now with that being said, here's where my journey started. Back in 2002 I suffered a back injury where I blew out L4-L5 when I worked as a CNA.

Over a period of ten years I struggled with pain and weight gain because of my inactivity. As I began to get to the point of looking for a routine that would not hurt my back I came up short. I bought P90X, Insanity and every other dvd set I saw on tv and all they did was cause more damage. So for the following four years I sunk into a depression and began eating more and more until finally I saw Arthur Boorman's video link on Facebook. Watching that video made my cry. It made me realize I could finally be free of the self imposed hell I was living in.

It took me quite a while to come to the point where I ordered the set. Once I ordered the set I thought about cancelling it. I'm glad I didn't. I remember the first day it came I let it sit for hours before I opened it. Once I did, my whole world changed!!!! I started that Wednesday after I received it and haven't looked back since. I noticed within the first week my pain had virtually dissipated. That alone would have been enough to keep me going but the fact that I was already seeing physical changes (even though my cursing vocabulary increased lol) that I never imagined I'd get. Now when I first started I followed the meal plan and stuck with it. Over time I made the decision to actually begin a vegan based diet as well as my workouts and my weight loss has skyrocketed. I started at 250 and am currently down to 222lbs. A 28 lb. loss in 60 days. I feel amazing!!! I'm able to do 25 push ups in a row now where I could only do 2-3 if I was lucky. I'm currently training as well for a 5k next March. None of this would have been possible with your program. It's helped me achieve so much!!!!

Now the big question, what made me do it? What was the driving factor that made me open the set. My father and brother both died from complications due to Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy. I am at a risk factor of 75% because I'm a male but even higher because of genetics. I watched my brother die and decided this would not be my fate.  I have to get a head of this. I have to be physically prepared to combat this disease if it is indeed my future. This program has helped me take control of my life and my future. I will not go quietly and DDPYOGA has given my body the voice and strength it will need to beat this possible future. This has given me hope in an uncertain future.
