So week #4 comes to a close. I was so scared to get on the scale Sunday morning. I layed in bed talking with my wife about my fear. Had i pushed hard enough? Had I done everything I could to ensure that the 20 lbs I had wanted to lose was gone? I put it off as long as I could. I got up and walked into the bathroom. Stepping onto the scale I watched as the digital display began to move. It felt like the weigh in on The Biggist Loser. I looked down as the numbers came up....234.5!!!!!! I started this chlllange at 255! 20.5 LBS IN 30 DAYS! I was so happy. All of the hard work. Hitting the gym at 4:30 in the morning. going back again at night with my wife to do it all over again. Reading every bag, box and bottle to be sure it's healthy to eat or drink. Not letting anything stand in the way of what I had set out to do. I know I can feel the difference in how the clothes fit and how I feel. Yet I needed to see the numbers in front of my own eyes. There they where. I did it. Not alone in any way. With the help, love and support of my wife. With the words of wisdom from everyone here. With all of the support from t.com and the wonderful people who are here guiding us to our goals.... how can one not find each of the goals set before them so much easier to obtain.... This site is truley amazing, as are all of the people here.

To my wife, if you read this;

You belief in me has helped me find the person I always knew I could be. Your praise, love and words of incouragment have taken me far beyound where I thought I would be today. Thank you. For your love, your support and giving me that part of you every day I have come to cherish.

This is such a beautiful post. How exciting to hear about your dramatic results from only 30 days of focused effort. It seems like just yesterday that it was the beginning of January, and that time was passing whether you were engaging in something healthy for youself or not. How many others in the world wanted to do the same, but just couldn't find the "time" in a given 24 hours and are now 'still' feeling sad because nothing has changed. I think about this concept often when I begin to catch my thoughts going... "one day surely won't make much of a difference? After all, the distance is SO far that I must travel." Well, "one day" means alot. All I have to do is observe what 30 of those "one days" meant to your progress. CONGRATULATIONS on your disciplined effort!! ~Tara

I love it, man...Cogratulations on your success!

That's FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!! Bob
