In this age of pixel-perfect selfies and AI-optimized headshots, why I am starting out with a pretty shocking photo of myself?

Isn't the goal to look wonderful? And to make sure everyone knows I always did look wonderful? Well, that's not my goal. Because that's not the truth.

A few months ago, I turned 70. I used to think I was starting Life Part 2. Now I think I'm start LIFE #2 LOL! Infinite possibilities. And that comes with both opportunities and responsibilities! My goal is to be real, and helpful. I used to be be stressed, fat and sick. And worried! I lost part of myself and I wasn't exactly sure where to find it.

Can you identify with some of what I'm saying? If you're not looking and feeling your best right now, I can truly empathize. For me it was pretty frustrating and lonely.I hope that when you understand my story and my discoveries...you might feel a little more hopeful. I wasn't sure what to do...now I know exactly what to do. The most important thing for you to know, is that I figured out how to tranform myself. If I can do it, you probably can too. I'll do my best to help you.

In 2020, I had lost about 20 pounds. Good progress, but honestly, this is when I was most depressed. I realized that my initial goal of losing 30 pounds, fell far short of my ultimate goal, if I really wanted to live longer and better.

As of today (June 2025), I've lost about 75 pounds total. And I've also gained about 20 pounds of lean mass. Good news and I feel great! I still have very ambitious health goals. I am working to reduce my biological and function age from 51 (current) to 45 by 2030.
