    WHAT CAN I SAY BUT WOOOOOOOOOW!!!!! way to go!!! God is so good, just continue to look to Him and He will give you strength to finish what you have started. Your testimony is just awesome and I will keep you in my prayers and at church where we pastor. If there is anything I can do for you personally don't hesitate to let me know. Keep up the great job!!!
  • Very inspiring story. I am beginning my journey. For the last week I have been on a surgery prep diet, it is very limited and tough, but I am hanging in there. I am 65, retired in December, and have some health issues. I have no choice but to lose weight or not be able to do the things I like to do. I love to cruise, travel in general, and it isn't easy when you are 100+ pounds overweight. I am also learning to quilt and want to walk the dogs at the local Humane Society. I tried, but had to give up the dog walking until I get some of this weight off. You are on your way, I want to travel this road with you. We will support each other and BOTH of us will be successful. Good luck to you and God Bless you.
