    Update:

    We are still at goal and enjoying not being obese. At 3 years for Deb and almost the same for me it seems like obesity was a long bad dream. Yet we know it was not our imagination and the fact is that it can again become our reality. We will not return to those chains. Exercise and eating right is a small price to pay for freedom.

    To those that are new to this I give you this advice: never give up, believe in yourself, ask for help from God and smart people and don't listen to those who want to destroy your dreams. No one deserves obesity, kill it!

    Movement becomes a profound experience when the weight begins to come off. I remember after losing some weight and attempting to run the first time. I took off slow after warming up and expected the heavy breathing to commense. It didn't come....and didn't come...and ....wait a minute....where's the wall? My body was announcing its change. The tears came to my eyes,......freedom!!
