At Dallas, Shane spoke about how to get more people to respond to your posts on blogs and forums. He has discussed this before on a forum he started. Shane made some very good points and gave great advice about the things we all need to DO to reach out more to one another. I have had times

First You Cry.
That is the name of a book written back in the 70's by a Breast cancer survivor. I studied part of it in Nursing school. I also studied Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross and her five stages of grief people go through following a serious loss. Kubler-Ross first described&nbs...

To me, Transformation Means
A remodeling. All of us are good and have within us greatness. We do not morph into an entirely different being no matter how great we may change both on the outside and the inside. Transformation is not a replacement of one's self because that's not what is needed. No one can replace you. It's a changing, an improving, a strengthening of you.
My Goals
I WILL weigh less than 220 Lbs. by May 16, 2010
I WILL run a Half Marathon in less than 3:00:00 before May 16, 2010
I WILL have a GFR greater than 70 by May 16, 2010
I will have and maintain HbA1c less than 5.6 by May 16, 2010
My Intentions
I WILL follow the Eating-for-Life program
I WILL follow the Body-for LIFE program
I WILL follow the Transformation program and fully immerse myself in to the process of each assignment.
I entered the 2010 Transformation Challenge on Jan. 11, 2010
I WILL deal with the health adversities in my life positively and use my experiences to support and benefit others with health challenges.
Who I'd Like to Inspire
Everyone who can find some thing good about me that would benefit their life. No one that might take from me one of my faults and let it influence them in any negative way.
Hi Dave, I saw what you posted in the community about being showered with support in Denver. You are such an important part of t.com and thank you for everything you do! Erin
LOL - LOVE your profile pic! My family relates to the Incredibles, there are 5 of us and we, in each of our age brackets, relate to each member of the Incredible family! I'll be looking into your blog to learn more about you - you seem like so much fun - who doesn't just LOVE Billy Crystal?!! Anyhoo - have a great weekend! `jen :)(:
It was definitely great seeing you in Dallas, had a great time talking even if it was just a short time. Hopefully next time we can chat longer and share some pictures together. Have a great and beautiful weekend my friend. God bless =) Jerome
Hey Dave. Thanks for poppin' in and lending your shoulder. I really appreciate it. Thanks for your support and best of luck to you as well. ~Bobby.
Uncle Dave!!! I sure do miss those wonderful hugs of yours....and no one can make a Mississippi accent quite as charming as you can!! Here's to my favourite superhero, T.com's very own Mr. Incredible :) Sending you lots of love from all the way back up here in Canada!! Love Stacey xoxo
Uncle Dave, it was so nice to meet you in person. Way to go on finishing the half- You Did It! You did It!
Hi Dave! I'm so glad I finally got to meet you in person in Dallas! You are INCREDIBLE!! Congratulations on the race too, way 2 go! Proud of you! Blessings, Katy
You are great! I love a side-splittingly funny guy who is also willing to be vulnerable, transparent. It is a rare combination. I saw your t-shirt as soon as I walked into the Dallas event the first day and knew it would be a good time..... xxoo Jennifer
HI DAVE!!!!!! It was so nice to hear from you (I'm sorry I missed ur phone call. Heck, I just listened to the voicemail earlier this evening, LOL). And thank you so much for the kind words you left on my profile. It was a joy seeing you again in Dallas and such a pleasure to get to know you better. I want you know how proud I am of you for completing the 1/2 in Dallas and what an honor it is to call you 'my friend'. You are such a wonderful person and I so appreciate your 'tell it like it is' mentality. And as for the bus ride on the way back from the marathon..."That's what friends are for". I love ya like crazy!!! ~Lisa
Unc- It was great to see again in Dallas. Congrats on your completing the 1/2 Marathon and inspiring a bunch of people in the process( myself included)' You da man!-steve
Uncle Dave is the Man!!!!! Next goal, getting Tom to an event, ok!!!!!!
Thanks Uncle Dave going to visit parents next week for the Easter break in Alabama. You enjoy yourself. DC is nice. Darlene
Dave, I want you to know that I meant every single word that I said to you after the marathon. You truly inspire me man. Seeing you come over the line was one of the most inspiring things I've ever seen. You keep moving forward nomatter what. You say that there is no choice, but in reality there is a choice, and a lot of people choose to stop. But you make the choice to keep going. And the way you downplay the significance of it makes me ever more impressed with you. You are extremely humble, and I believe in you 100%. Keep working on the inside. That is the most important. Whatever happens on the physical end will happen. Love you Dave! Cheers, Paul.
Hi Uncle Dave! You are so fun and it was sooooo nice to meet you in Dallas! I am wishing you all the best of health and happiness during your Transformation! Your smile is contagious Uncle Dave!!!! xoxoHeidi
