So after months of trying to diet and get in shape on my own, it just wasn't working. I didn't know what I was doing right, what I was doing wrong, or what I should be doing to get fit.

So after months of trying to diet and get in shape on my own, it just wasn't working. I didn't know what I was doing right, what I was doing wrong, or what I should be doing to get fit. Add to that the pressure of getting married in just a few short weeks and my frustration was beginning to mount.

You see, Meredith Stancik and I have been dating for over 4 years and when we first met in Abilene, I was a little more svelte. Well, I would like to get somewhat back to that level for the wedding, so my commitment to get fit is at an all time high.

Thanks to the folks at Anytime Fitness and Trevor Carney with Innovative Fitness, my time to get fit has come. With the Brazos Valley watching, I'm hoping for a 7 week transformation that will amazing me, my fiance Meredith, and all of you watching at home.

Do I think this will be easy? Heck No! My love for Mexican food, red wine, pizza, and an occasional Irish stout will be have to put on the back burner. But it's a sacrifice I have to make in order to make Shaping Up With Shane a success.

So here we go, a 2 month adventure with anything possible. But like my trainer Trevor said, if I commit, this is possible. Well I believe him, I'm committing, and I'm planning on having some aching muscles!
