It's been a great journey and I am loving living a healthy lifestyle. As usual I sit down with the wife to watch biggest loser and I think to myself...I never really gave any thought to what my % weight lost is. So I do the math and I can't belive that 5 months ago there was 25% more of me than there is now! For any of you just starting out never doubt your ability to change. Make great decisions every day and the rest takes care of itself.

Now I am definately in a good mood. :laugh: :drinker:

    Your success is incredible, Andrew-- and your advice is right on. This can be done. The biggest hurdle is ourselves-- believing we can do this.

    I'm nearly 45 years old, overweight to some degrree all my life, coming from a lethargic family-- I have nine kids, stress out the wazoo and my journey began last year when I saw the Today show, Joy Fit Club lady that lost 150 pounds-- 3 times more than what I wanted/needed to lose.

    It clicked that day-- if she can do it, I can do it. 31 pounds later, and I'm training for a 5k--

    So I'm there with you, Andrew-- this is doable, folks-- if I can do it, if Andrew can do it, if Shuntae can do it-- if we can all do it, anyone can--

    Heading out to run people-- have a great night!
