My brother,

It is amazing and encouraging to hear what you have accomplished these past
10 months. Like myself, you have become committed to change your lifestyle
for the better without the use of pills or surgery.

You ARE an inspiration to those you interact with or see you on a daily
basis, even though they may not acknowledge it.

I am always encouraged when I read your posts of victories - large or small,
as they help me to keep focus on the prize when I stumble.

Thank you for being a part of this group and congratulations!
