    Dear MFP Friends,

    Thank you for all the kind words, I hope my story has in some way helped you to realize that you too can do it if you just work at it every day. I plan to continue to work at losing this year, I would like to lose about 30 more lbs and continue running. But my big goal for the year is to learn to speak Spanish.

    Thank you to all of you. I am glad the Lord may have used my story to motivate you or encourage you. Just know you can do "it" if you will work a little each day at what ever your "it" is.

    I listed 5 goals last Jan1 that I wanted to accomplish this year.
    Grow closer to the Lord
    Lose 100 lbs
    Save $4000
    Buy my wife a new car
    Write a book


    To date I have:
    Hope I am closer to the Lord (hard to measure)
    Lost 101 lbs
    Saved $4400
    Bought my wife a Buick
    Written 2 books (They are ready for publishing)

    I did something each and every day to accomplish each one of these goals and look at the results.
    I am working on my list of goals for next year

    You can do "IT"
    Bro Dave

    Your focus and follow-through are an inspiration -- thank you for sharing!!

    and Congratulations on your accomplishments!!

    That is so great! Good for you hon!! I know how hard it is to lose a lot of weight - I've lost 200 lbs. myself but still have about 94 to go to be done once and for all. I kept hemming and hawing - dieting then going out to eat fast food and sure enough, the weight snuck back up 20 lbs. by December. So I'm back on my wagon and I'm determined that 2012 will be the final year I am "on a diet" and the first year of "my new lifestyle"!!

    Excellent job my man!

    I am SO proud of you and inspired by your story. I will have a story of my own personal journey that will be somewhat similar to yours when I am done. But in the mean time, I will use your motivation to help me along the way. WTG. Losing it is one thing...keeping it off is another, so I give you all of the positive vibes needed in your next achievement ahead!

    You have lost 200lbs? That is awesome. I know that the 20lbs makes you feel sluggish and weighed down, but it isn't how you fall...it's how you get back up that makes the difference. All the best in 2012 and please share any advise or ideas that have worked for you :)
