Inspiration Comes in Many Forms
Some of my MFP friends will have seen this already, but this may be an inspiration to others. I became a widower early this year when my 45 year old wife of 19 years passed away suddenly as a result of complications from a surgery a month before. After a lot of soul searching and struggling to find any path forward, it…

Post Pandemic World
Today was one year since my work team was sent home to work remotely. For some of us, it's now become permanent. During a team meeting this morning, I asked the group to reflect on the last year, and I referenced the Facebook post below, posted by my wife on 1/1. Tragically, she passed away a week later. It's truly a…

Devastating Loss
I've been thinking for several days as to whether I should share publicly what's happened recently in my life. As I'm a pretty open book, here goes: my forty-five year old wife died early last month as a result of complications of a recent surgery. Rhonda and I celebrated our 19th anniversary in October. Obviously, the…

Positive Thinking

At…

Goals?
Does anyone else set goals around sports seasons? We have a home sports bar and entertain frequently during NFL season. We got serious about our health mid-Feb, and I set a major goal of 75 pounds lost by 9/1. So far, I'm on track. I'm not saying NFL season is going to be a binge fest. I'll just say my goals are a bit less…

Is This Journey Easy?
I posted this as a status today and thought it might make for interesting forum discussion. I saw a poster earlier that essentially said "This is easy" with regard to logging/weight loss/healthful eating, etc. While I agree the CONCEPT is easy, the PRACTICE is the difficult part. First, please let me offer a heartfelt…

Must I Eat More?
I'm 42m and currently weigh 295. The beginning of the journey *this* time began at 315. My highest weight ever was 330 in 2009 during which I lost 97 pounds through a diet of approximately 2000 calories today and a ton of walking (that turned into running). I didn't stick with the new lifestyle I'd created and have bounced…
