I am shooting (pun intended) for 200 which is about right for me.

Anyone trying to lose weight, I am praying for you.

Elder, your story reminded me of a song on my cell phone... "God is a good God, Yes He is!!!"

Keep up the work Elder!!!

Here's a little encouragement for those following this thread and trying to shape up at the same time.

A month ago my blood pressure was 154/99

Last night it was 127/77 !!!!!

Nothing like feeling great. Last night, I also did 45 minutes on the elliptical machine

Thats Great Tmax, keep up the great work!

I lift weights 3 days a week, that's done more for me than anything else I do. I also have a punching bag setup, there is nothing like beating up a bag to get your heart going.
