Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 's Daily Message TuesdayJune 13, 2006NOT MUCH FROM THE POSTMAN I love my postman. He`s been delivering mail to me for 14 years, and I always bring him out a cold bottle of water. You know, he used to bring me so much mail, and now it`s just a little stack of letters, and why? Because emails have taken over! Sometimes I go down to my office very early to sit in front of the computer and check my emails. I`m always in shock to see how many are there waiting for an answer. A lot of people just check in with me once in a while to let me know how they are doing. I gotta tell you about Charlie from Ohio! He`s had terrible problems with his weight most of his life. Charlie wanted to become a soldier, but at 215 pounds, he could not even begin to train to meet the fitness requirements. Charlie`s mother bought him a copy of Party Off the Pounds. God Bless her! He did that video daily and lost a little over 30 pounds! He joined the service, lost more weight, and is a comfortable 159 pounds. He says, "Even though you can be quite silly, , you always make me laugh and forget how tough the workout is." And then there`s Rick from Texas. Rick weighed over 300 pounds and wasn`t feeling so hot. He saw me on TV one day and felt he was ready to make the commitment. Now has shed 140 pounds and is in training for the Ironman Triathlon! Although he is very happy right now about his weight loss, he is very sad because his mother recently passed away. "It`s been very hard to cope with her death, but I take it day by day, and when I do this triathlon, I will dedicate that race to my mom." And lastly, I gotta brag a little bit about Elaine from Pennsylvania. She wrote to me last February and told me she has fibromyalgia. I guess what I said to her in my letter made a lot of sense, because Elaine took my advice! "On March 7, I started walking every day. Two 10-minute walks, and sometimes 1 20-minute walk. Doing this, I`ve lost 15.5 pounds so far. It`s a great start to a new lifestyle, which I will continue as long as I live!" Applause, applause to all of you! You all know where to email me and tell me your story. Wish you were in class with me tonight! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
