Husband to one, father to two, Papa to five. It just doesn't get much better than that! So blessed! I started this journey of weight-loss for health at 310 pounds. I lost 80 pounds in six months; Sept. 1, 2009 - Mar. 1, 2010. Sometimes I just back away until my motivation returns. I am a diabetic so my main motivation has been my health. My endocrinologist is much more pleased with my health! I now also keep up with my dental health as well as the health of my eyes. I feel better today than I have in over ten years.
