I'm currently at 210 pounds. I am living a dream, one of wonder and joy from every triumph and every personal interaction. I love my life, and I love my body. The prison I used to inhabit now enables me to be active every day, taking long walks, golfing, running, backpacking, bowling, lifting weights, and many other things that just a year ago I thought I would never be able to do again. I marvel at even the simple things I can do now that I could not do a few short months ago, like tying my shoes or crossing my legs. In just 10 months, I regained my health and my life. Once on the brink of death, I have literally been reborn.

In November 2005, I returned to the Duke Diet and Fitness Center for a refresher. I went to make sure I was still on the right track, and to take my knowledge to the next level. "Are you SCOTT!?" said the man standing in the lunch line. "I heard you lost over two hundred pounds since February! You look fantastic. How did you do it?!"

On Memorial Day 2006 I ran in the Boulder Colorado Bolder Boulder 10K walk/race. I didn't set any land speed records, but I finished, and I knew that my life had been given back to me. I knew that I would have to finish a half marathon run before the end of the year. This past month I finished the BoulderBackroads half marathon. My life is back and I feel wonderful. I have been blessed.

Thank you Xengevity for helping me achieve what I thought was unachievable.
