I just have to praise God, because I have never had the discipline ever to be do this, but I really have given it over to the Lord. He has given me the ability to change my eating and exercising.
I hope I don't come across bragging. The only reason I am saying this is maybe to inspire some of you. I was inspired by my aunt and uncle over Christmas break. They are close to 50 years old, and they are in great shape because of their eating, exercising and discipline.
If I can do it, you can too!!!

no bragging! just teasin. this is so encouraging. i'm really proud of you doug. as someone who's always sort of struggled with their weight, i understand completely the dedication it takes to do this. great job. keep it up.

Way to go Doug!
