Hi everybody! Wow, what a holiday season. They seem to get shorter every year. It is great to read through all the posts I've missed and it sounds like everyone is doing well. Don, you have to be very excited about getting close to your goal. Just a few more weeks huh? That should be a huge party.

I have been stagnant in my weight loss. I did alright over the holidays and did not gain any. But after several years of the yo-yo thing, I finally broke down last week and hired a sports coach that specializes in bicycling. We sat down for 2 1/2 hours and talked about my goals. He is very positive and experienced. I started my training yesterday and am very excited to have someone firmly guiding me. I am confident that I will be reporting progress over the coming months.

Don and Andrea - You are truly an inspiration. If you can do it, I can do it.
