Who I Am
Who is Charles Scott and why does he have a blog you might ask? Well, very good questions and let me take a shot and answering them.
I am a 49 year old guy that works as a Senior Lead Consultant for Catapult Systems in Houston, TX. (Read computer geek) I am the proud parent of my 10 year old daughter, Katy and happy husband to my most wonderful wife, Nan.
I spent over 37 years of my life obese. Of those years, I was morbidly obese for almost 30 years. I weighed over 275 pounds that I carried on my 6′ 2″ frame when I was a senior in high school. (Let’s not talk about how long ago that was…) At my highest weight, I was almost 600 pounds. I had developed many health problems and knew that I had to make a change or my daughter would be growing up without me.
In May of 2004 I started attending the Weight Management Program at Methodist Hospital. In less than 3 years I had lost 350 plus pounds and found a new life. My current weight is 210 pounds and health and fitness are a major part of my life.
It has been an incredible journey. I went from a lifetime of morbid obesity to being selected as one of Ultimate Houston’s 2006 Outstanding work-out partner with my good friend Austin Davis. 2006 Ultimate Workout partner Later that same year, I was selected to appear in People Magazine’s Half Their Size issue. Half Their Size
It is my goal to help as many people as I can to discover that they do not have to settle for the restrictions that being obese can impose upon your life and your health.
What this blog is not - well it is not the “magic bullet” for weight loss. I am sorry to say that in all my years of searching, I never found a “magic bullet”. I don’t claim to have all the answers. I don’t think that anyone has them all. What this blog is ment to be is a place where you can come visit with someone that has been down the road that you are on. Someone that is and will be for the rest of their life on that same journey. What I want to do here is to make this offer - the offer that I am willing to walk down the path with you and share what I do know and what I have learned. We can all learn from each other and help each other along the journey. We all have the power to improve our fitness and health. We all have the power within ourselves to change. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
I am putting a few more pictures below.
