William started at 344 pounds and lost half his body weight over two years. He spent a lifetime ignoring calories and going up pant sizes. There were red lit numbers on his bathroom scale and red X's on his health report. Yet, he ignored it and lived in a state of obese bliss. When he welcomed his first child into the world, he could no longer ignore the red. But, he possessed a passion for engineering solutions to challenging problems. From finding the right technology to increase sales at work to growing the world's hottest pepper in his home garden, he looked for challenging problems to solve. With the red mounting, he turned his focus inward and asked "How do I engineer my weight?" Calorie by calorie, he conquered food and engineered himself to a healthy lifestyle.
