Q. What’s the latest with your healthy lifestyle journey since losing over 200 lbs?

A. Well I am gaining weight…muscle mass that is. I have shifted my focus to the world of weight training now. I had tremendous success during my weight loss using the P90X® extreme home fitness program from BeachBody.com. This same company rolled out a new series last fall called Body Beast created by Sagi Kalev, longtime bodybuilder and former Mr. Israel.
