Mark works in the pest control industry and is a songwriter. Throughout his life he’s had many goals, but three in particular: quitting smoking (which he did 15 years ago), losing weight (which he’s doing now), and writing a hit song. He blames some of his weight gain on not smoking, but is ready for the challenge. He has 2 children and 6 stepchildren. Mark would like to lose about a hundred pounds.
"When I'm with my family or friends, I use my weight as a joke, but it really bothers me inside. This will be my jumpstart. I need to learn how to be regimented when it comes to my body, fitness, mind and lifestyle.“ -Mark
