Intro

My name is Justin. I'm a 26 year old father of 4 kids (5 and under) and husband to Jessica (also in the comp). My weight has fluctuated most of my life but I've gained a large amount that has held on since quitting smoking 2 years ago.
My wife and sister (Karilynn) convinced me to do this to support them and "get healthy." I'm 5'9" and somewhere around 190 lbs. I will get a scale before the comp starts and hope to finish this thing around 150. My wife [and I] is planning on doing p90x together and I will slowly be changing the way I eat. My first bold move will be to stop drinking Mt. Dew and Dr. Pepper. I am an electrician by trade, and although my job is labor intensive, I am otherwise really not active. I have always enjoyed rollerblading and hope to use that as an additional source of exercise.
