(11-14-08) Down another 5 lbs...

Yeah, I've been rather distracted... But what else can I say other than I'm just so blessed to have my girlfriend Lynn in my life.

I Am

I'm 53 yrs old. I've been on disability from my Computer Systems Analyst career since 2002. I've been doing BFL for years. Had great success in 2004/2005 dropping 125 lbs. However, I've been coping with a hormonal disorder (pituitary failure) since 1996... NEWSFLASH!!! (8-20-08) THE PITUITARY DISORDER HAS BEEN REVERSED!!! I can hardly believe it...but I no longer have a pituitary disorder!!! Yeah...I'm in tears as I update my profile with the news of this incredible miracle... As of Oct 5th, I weigh 236 lbs - down 69 lbs since Jan 21 and expect to get under 200 lbs by the end of the year...But frankly, the biggest weight - chronic illness - has finally been dropped and my new life begins today...

My Favorite Charity

Salvation Army

To me, Transformation Means

Not just putting disempowering behavior on hold for 12 weeks or so but actually changing your habits and behavior for the long-term...I've really related to this song - "Little Wonders". Thought you might like the video...

"Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas

My Goals

Get to under 200 lbs by the end of 2008. (Dropped 69 lbs since Jan 21, 36 lbs to go as of 10/05/08). I signed up for a 50-mile bike ride on Oct 5,2008. (***and completed it!!!)With the illness turnaround I'm also planning on competing in time-trial (bicycling) races in Spring 2009.

My Intentions

Do everything humanly possible to get back to normal weight of 170-180 lbs. After a long season of illness to follow the mission that God has planned for me in my new life...

Who I'd Like to Inspire

Everyone! But especially those who have faced adversity such as chronic illness.
