Thank you all for the really nice comments! I greatly appreciate your feedback and it drives me to keep working harder. I don't see myself as some kind of great father ( though I try) or some kind of inspiration but it is really nice to hear those things. :bigsmile:

If my story motivates or inspires you, that is great and I love to hear it but please know that these responses really motivates me right back! :bigsmile:

Keep on working y'all! DOOOoooooo it!!

Truly amazing your transformation, and I love the impact it's having, not only in your life, but that of your children. I was tearing up reading your post, as you don't realize just how meaningful some of this simple stuff is until you experience it. Spending quality time interacting with your kids that you may not have had with the extra weight on. And I LOVE seeing kids get in on the workouts with parents. I usually work out during nap time or after the kiddos are asleep, but days when my daughter does happen to be up, I adore because she's right there besides me doing her best push ups and planks a 3 year old can manage. It's just fun and games to her now, but I know we'll keep on this path and as she gets older being active will just be a part of her life.

Thank you for such a nice comment! It is such fun watching our little one's workout and learn healthy habits. It makes me a proud Poppa. Good for you for setting such a great example too. :happy:
