Kenny Bey is six feet tall and weighs in at 249 pounds and wears a size 42 pant. "With pressing dealines and long office hours, I find it challenging to fit in quality family time, exercise and even sleep," he said. "As a result my body as suffered drastically."

Bey works as an assistant principal at Pattengill Middleschool. "Many of our school children are overweight or obese. This is ture for many Adminstrators in my profession as well," he said. "Last year, several Administrators were out on sick leave or retired due to healthy related illnesses. I fear this would ultimately be me if I do not get control of my body."

Bey plans to use the Challenge as a way to set an example for others. "My plan is to be a better example for my fmaily and the children I serve," he said. "This is defined by making right choices to improve the quality of my health, consistently exercising, eating healthy and living a non-toxic/drama-free lifestyle."

In the past Bey has success following the Body for Life diet, but is looking forward to having the help of a nutritionist and trainer. "This would not only allow me to reach my goals but also inspire others to take action to adopt a healthier lifestyle."
