What an inspiring message to read this morning! Eight children?!?

Incredible. I am excited for this journey y'all are headed out on together.

-- Terrific to hear that you've found others to motivate

towards BFL/Healthy life, especially your wife. You are a

motivation to REAL people as well as us 'cyber folks'. Keep it up.

Good luck on your .9 lbs and the 36 " waist. You can do it. As for

the beer and BBQ - maybe over labor day I'll break down and find a 6-

pack on sale somewhere:)

I take my 16 week measurements tonight. I'm expecting a modest

improvement since 4 weeks ago. The weight is down a bit. We'll see

about the rest.

Have a good day.

That is awesome! I hope to start turning people to body for life

when I finish my challenge, or am closer to the end at least. One

person I would really like to turn onto body for life is my hubby.

He is part of my motivation to keep going, cause I hope to have

great results that will encourage him to get back to the gym.

Way to go on influencing one of the most important people in your

life!
