My name is Owen JJ Stone aka Ohdoctah. I’m a regular guy. I am 5′11 with a starting weight of 352 pounds. I have a history of diabetes in my family & recently my doctor warned me of my risk for getting this disease. I’m deathly afraid of needles! I currently do not have health insurance (I pay a high premium to see a community state funded doctor). I can not handle nor afford to get diabetes. I want to be healthy for myself. I want to watch my daughter grow up.

I’m no longer with the mother of my child. Dealing with the fact I won’t be under the same roof as my daughter, kills me. I gained weight & have lost my motivation to work harder to better my financial situation. I could not afford to go on like this, I’ve started working harder then ever on making more money. My financial goal is to work for myself so I have more time to be in my daughters life. Having periods in my life where my family didn’t have a lot, I know money isn’t everything.

Even if I make more money it means nothing without my health! I thought up this challenge; to push myself with peer pressure. Family & friends both new & old to help hold me accountable for my goal. To lose 100 pounds in the most reasonable & healthy time period possible. The thing I love to do most in this world is to meet people. So, to reward/push myself I’ve chosen five people to meet. One person for every 20 pounds. On some level, meeting these five people may seem impossible. Failure on any level is not an option for me.

I will be personally donating $10 dollars for every pound I lose to a diabetes organization. (currently looking for a good one)
