No need to worry.<br />It is so exciting to see and hear about the metamorphosis of the Elzer family. I am sure it brings strength and hope to whomever reads it, and is still struggling.<br />Thanks for sharing!Dorisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377308945776555794.post-72866140928730778892009-06-21T11:48:44.144-07:002009-06-21T11:48:44.144-07:00Worth the wait Steve--great post.

And I would like to add, as a friend who has told you "you look great," it's NOT just because of the dramatic change to your body--your smile has more joy in it.Sydneyhttp://retiredsyd.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4377308945776555794.post-46535804006580483352009-06-21T09:09:21.871-07:002009-06-21T09:09:21.871-07:00Thanks very much, Bryan!

I can only imagine ho...Aw, that's great, Steve. I can only imagine how hard you have all worked to achieve this stage of your metamophosis. Once my broken ankle heals some more, I also have some work to do. Lying in casts for 6 to 8 weeks, and eating what my husband cooked, was not good for my health, but tasted good. (He's not a salad/veggie kind of guy)<br />My first problem became apparent, when I quit smoking and had gall-badder surgery at the same time. When I emerged from that experience I found I had gained 30 pounds! - which quickly became 40 lbs, and I have found that my metabolism fell off a cliff quite a while ago. Not sure how to get it back, but in a month or so when my doctor says I can run, I have your example to look to, to get on the program and start losing weight - just 20 pouns would be good; and compared to what you have achieved, that ought to be a snap - but I know better!

Just think of the Fat...Awesome, amazing, inspiring. Just think of the Father's Day (and Mother's Day, and birthdays, and graduation) present that you have all given to each other. Not only to live without those concerns you mention ("will I fit in the seat?"), but to simply LIVE - without the specter of health issues that come with the extra weight. I think I have to go out for a run now... Well done, Steve and family!Bryan Rutbergnoreply@blogger.com
