When John Lasher wanted to get into better shape he joined one of my Saturday WW groups and recently reached his goal, having lost around 60lb.
He's a great guy, a teacher, with two beautiful children and it's good that he lost weight and got healthier overall, because he was recently diagnosed with a serious medical problem.
John is scheduled for major surgery at Sloan Kettering on Thursday. Please say a prayer for him.
He is journaling this part of life's journey here -

It's sobering reading, but there's some good positive stuff too. I suggest you take a little time and start at the very beginning with Jon's first post.
And don't forget that prayer - we all know it works!
