Damn, where did the week go?

I'm just getting to this today, John, but it ranks among your best.

I see many similarities between your story and mine. I started a little younger (I'll be 48 in January), but in much worse shape (5'8" 264 lbs). The 38" pants I bought a month ago are starting to feel a little loose, but they're a far cry from the 46" pants I was wearing 16 months ago. And to top it all off, the Mrs. & I just ordered a treadmill this week.

While I celebrated Thanksgiving 6 weeks ago, I remain thankful for (beyond the three F's):

- the friends I have made on this and other forums over the past year or so, their encouragement and motivation as I, too, regain control over my health/life.

- having the strength, ability and resolve to do so.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
