I believe I would be a good candidate for your body image make over as I have been attempting such for about the past ten years.  I am closing in on forty five and in the past have tried numerous diets and exercise programs with limited success.  I currently weigh in at about 210 and no matter what I have tried I do not seem to be able to get down below 192 to 194.  Everything I have tried in the past has worked to get me down to that point but then seems to stall.  It is gratifying to see the in initial weight loss and corresponding energy lift but when I reach the plateau of just over 190 I seem to stall.  The past ten years I have been too involved with family concerns to actually stick through this period as it seems to last for months.  S soon as I stop whatever regimen I am doing the weight flows back on far faster than I lose it.  I am unfortunately in a sedentary job with little physical work required and as such tend to be more mentally exhausted at the end of a day than physically.  I would love to get back to the shape of my mid 20’s as that was when I had a physical job which entailed approximately 1000 lifts of fifty pound objects per day.  I believe I have the commitment to follow through with a little incentive.  Attempting to do this type of change under the microscope of your contest may just be the straw that breaks the camels back and enables me to pass the sticking point.  I used to be very active in running and racquetball but even these did not deliver the results I desired.  I am currently a member of a club but as my work shift has changed I do not have the time in the morning anymore to attend regularly.  I hope you will consider me for this program as it is not the prizes I am interested in but the body make over.

Sincerely

James Reid (Jim)
