First, I wanted to thank everyone who supported me during this challenge--too numerous to mention everyone individually, but my heartfelt gratitude to all.  Also, thanks to Golds Gym for creating this community, without which I might not have had the incentive to work as hard as I did, and probably would have fallen back into the same old unhealthy patterns I've had all my life.  Once one works as hard as this to get fit and changes their whole lifestyle, it sets the tone for the rest of their lives.
 
Second, Congrats to Kellie, who did an amazing job, and for being the best competitor one could hope to go up against.  Her upbeat attitude and wonderful personality comes across on her posts, blogs and shining smile in her after pics (and even her before pics!).  AND Congratulations to all the challengers for making the steps necessary to get healthy.
 
Third, I have an update on my health.  My doctor took me off of my blood pressure medication on Friday!  This was great news and even more incentive to keep on going in my healthy journey.
 
In Love and Light,
Lorraine

I've been checking around on some of the other challengers' sites today, and it's wonderful to see that most are still working hard and posting their results.  I know that we can all achieve our goals.  Just stay focused on the prize--achieving excellent health, and an accompanying joyful life.  My best wishes to all the challengers!




Mom's Doing Better

Hi everybody,
Thanks so much for your well wishes and prayers.  My mom is doing MUCH better.  There's talk that she might be able to come home this weekend.  She's still hooked up to 4 different IVs, though, so I don't know if that's true or not.  I'm sure she's ready to get back home.  I feel very relieved.

Congrats on the bp medicine news!  That is just fabulous.  I'm so happy for you.  Our number one priority for losing weight should be to improve our health and extend our lives.  You are certainly achieving that goal.  Hats off to you.  I hope you're still hitting the gym regularly.  I know you'll reach and MAINTAIN your goals.  Keep up the fantastic work!
