that was the best post or one of the best posts that i have read n this
group or any of the groupd that i belong to. I have been struggling over the
last month or so trying to get back on track and find what diet or life
style works best for me.
  So i know what you mean about bumps. losing the weight and becoming
healthy is the best gift you can give to anyone including ur children. I
wish that my dad would be as concerned for his health as most of the men in
this group are. he has high blood preasure and is on meds for it as well.
 Keep up the amazing work u must be so impressed and happy with urself.

It has been a bumpy road through March. At times, I thought I would quit
the whole process and celebrate that 'no matter what weight I am, i am
just the size I am suppose to be.' Thankfully, I found inner strength to
avoid this pitfall. Likewise, I found outer strength - in the form of
this group - to continue with what my heart and mind know to be a good
and fruitful path but from which my weak will too often challenges me to
digress.
Today, I am celebrating a victory of will-power, discipline, and desire.
When I hug my nearly-fourteen-year-old daughter this afternoon I will
tell her (as I promised her I one day would) that she is hugging 'the
smallest dad she ever had.' This having lost an even thirty pounds in
the last 11 weeks.
Thank you, group. In the last three months, you have made me angry and
made me laugh, have made me roll my eyes at some of the things that get
said here and have uttered poignant truth to my heart and the hearts of
countless others who mostly lurk in the background of these
conversations. Warts and all, you are a gift and I thank you ..... even
as I continue to get smaller and smaller - which to me is greater and
greater. Have a great rest of the weekend and continue to work hard
toward the end-of-March goals you have set for yourselves. Where there
is a will, there is a way.

That was a very touching and inspirational post John.

Thank You; Marty

Bear,

You're not doing too badly on your weight loss either. Keep up the good
