Well, the good news is I'm still alive. Since my first post in May, I have not done very well with my ongoing struggle to lose weight. I could come up with a hundred reasons why, but none of them are really good reasons. It's now July 5th, and the 4th of July is over and the associated BBQs, so.....Here we go again. I ask that you again keep me in your prayers and help me get into losing the weight!

Thanks!!!!! Bill

Hi This is my first day with a Blog, but I'm hoping that this will help me on my quest to lose weight and live. I'm a very fortunate 57 year old male with a wonderful family, great job, good friends, but I fear I will die VERY soon, if I don't lose weight.

Today, 18-May-2007 is the day I get serious. After uncountable starts on diets over the past 50+ years ( first found out I was fat at around 7, and been deiting ever since), I really must lose. Last night, and even now while at work I'm dizzy, numb in my left leg and arm, thirsty, and feel like I'm having a stroke. I weighed myslef this morning and I was in total shock to see the scales hit 370!!!!!! I can not believe it, but it's true.

So, this is the first day, and I ask for your prayers and wishes to help me survive this. All of my medical problems, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, gout are becasue of my weight. What is wrong with me, why can't I help my self. I have a masters degree and 25 years of international business experience, but I can't help myself.
