WESTERVILLE, Ohio --

For decades, Central Ohio has turned to NBC4 Chief Meteorologist Jym Ganahl for accurate weather forecasts delivered with Jyms bright smile, twinkling eyes and child-like giggle. He is trusted by generations of viewers who turn to him every evening, rain or shine.

Now Jym is tackling a health issue of his own, and volunteering to share this journey with viewers. Over the years, Jym has seen the pounds creep on, and the scale inch up, like many Americans. The extra weight complicates Jyms high blood pressure and knee problems. Jym had knee replacement surgery, and with weight loss hopes to avoid another.

But besides Jyms health, this proud military veteran is working to lose weight for a very special event, and to once again wear his Army uniform.

I always emcee the Veterans Day parade. Everyone is back in their Army uniforms, and every year I always say Im going to lose the weight to get in it, and Ive always failed, said Jym as he spoke with NBC4s Ellie Merritt at Bexa Body Fitness in Westerville.

This time, at 63 years old, Jym is aiming for success with a goal of losing 50 pounds by November for the Veterans Day parade.

My highest weight was 274...I felt embarrassed. I felt like a comedian trying to cover up, but I hated the way I looked, said Jym as he opened up about his weight and hopes to inspire others to get fit.

It just shows that even though you are on TV, you are still a real person. You have real life struggles. You still have those same normal things that everybody else goes through, said Rebecca Black, owner of Bexa Body Fitness who is helping Jym in his weight loss journey.

He's ready to get going, and we're excited to have him here. The first step is knowing you are ready and committing, and the second is getting your family on board. If your family is not on board to support you, find another support system or a friend to go with, said Black.

Charlie Jones is Jyms personal trainer who works out with him and guides him on his diet.
