"Consult not your fears but your hopes & your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried & failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do. "
     Pope John XXIII (1881-1963), Roman Catholic leader

Wow! I started Michael Thurmond's six week body makeover 24 weeks ago...Has my life changed??  You bet it has!!!  I feel so much better emotionally, spiritually, and physically.
 Last October, I  had hopes and dreams of becoming a healthier, thinner person.  I was sooo tired of being fat.  The looks from strangers, the clothes not fitting, not being able to sit comfortably in a lot of public places, the fear of flying ( not because of crashing, but because of the seatbelt not fitting), the total lack of control over food and my life, I had hit rock bottom, and needed to do something to change.
 I had tried and failed so many times in regards to losing weight.  This program was before me, sensible and structured, all I had to do was give it an honest attempt. The only thing I had to lose ...was weight.
 Well, that was then and this is NOW.  The journey is going by quite quickly and rather pleasantly.  I have lost 83 pounds and a total of 73 inches, 12.5 of which came off my hips and my waist is now 11.75 inches smaller. I have gone from a size 38 pants to a 14.  I have 41 pounds to go before I reach maintenance...Life is simply so much better and healthier... Thank you Michael Thurmond!
p.s. My new stats are up and on my progress page.
