I am the 46 year old husband of Gina & father to Hunter & Bracken. I have been married for over 24 years & we have two dogs; Tater, a chihuahua, & Maggie, a German Sheppard / mutt.

I have always been the biggest person in my family & circle of friends. I have been able to lose weight in the past; but have not been disciplined enough to keep it off. Additionally, when it comes back it has always brought more with it.

I'm making a change. This is a new Jon. I chose who wins this battle & I choose me.

Personal Quote -
"You are who you are. And you are either one, or the other, of these two things. You are what the efforts and actions of what your mentality allows you to create. Or, you are what the efforts and actions of what your mentality allows others to create." ~ Jon Walsh
