When John retired from active duty with the USAF, we both decided it was time to change. He was a classic member of the "chair force". Since then, we've been motivating each other to count the carbs/calories/protein grams and consistently work out together.
Why I Love It:
We have to admit - it's mostly vanity!
How I Stay Motivated:
We motivate each other! Being 47 years old and looking better on the beach than 95% of the 20-somethings keeps us going. Sounds a little "shallow" but hey, at least we admit to it!

What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
Lower back - I ruptured a disc 25 years ago and it comes back to haunt me now and then, particularly if I do excessive back work (with less than perfect form)

What is the best type of protein for you?
Egg Protein
Why is this type of protein best?
Tastes best - we use egg beaters versus real eggs - you get used to them after awhile and can nearly make you think you're eating real scrambled eggs
We got our picture published on pg 46 of the October 2008 "Feedback Section" of Flex magazine - just saw it today - what a hoot!!! We're 3 for 3 now - "FitnessRX for Men" and "Muscle and Fitness" did the same for us a few months ago. It's a lot of fun and...
