The results are in: 18.9 lbs gone.  I missed the mark by 1.1lb.  That’s ok.  You know, I think it’s worth $500 to get your health back.  I no longer cough, I’m looking better in clothes AND the gym is giving me a discount for the next challenge.  Since I lost about 19 pounds, I pay $300 for next challenge. I’ll get that money back if I lose my last twenty pounds.  Once I do, I’ll officially be back in the “healthy” range on the weight/BMI scale.  So, I’m not triumphant – not yet.  But I’m not giving up.  I’m getting stronger now.  I hope this inspires you to do the same.
