I am 48 years old. I have been wanting to lose weight for a while now. I have 2 small grand-kids and I want to get healthy so I can keep up with them. I want to make sure I am here for all of the great moments that life has to offer.

You are working so hard in this program, and your smile can light up a room. Continue to work hard and great success will be yours – sounds like a fortune cookie, doesn’t it? Thanks for the hug today, too!

Dan,
You are doing such a GREAT JOB…I am so proud of you and inspired by you. Pretty soon you will be running circles around me. I look foward to working out with you tomorrow..
It was good to have you jog along side of me today! It’s amazing to see you during Amber’s class today compared to six weeks ago. We have all really changed alot in a short amount of time. Keep up the hard work and I will keep teasing you:-)
Dan: Great job of pushing yourself this morning. Keep going, this will start to get easier, well that what I keep telling myself. We are going throught a once in a life time event. I am glad you are part of it.

Dan, Keep up the great work….you were really “busting your hump at Spiece” today,as the tee-shirt says:) Keep your head up….you will go as far as you allow yourself to go and the only person that can hold you back is yourself……
Take Care,
Your breakfast buddie

Dan the man,
I need some of your ability to “suffer in silence”. I don’t know how you do it, but you never complain even when you are in a ton of pain. I admire your ability to push through to the end and do everything that is asked of you. You are so strong! Keep up the good work!
Holly
WOW Dan, You have come such a long way! Good job for continuing to push yourself further, even through the pain! Stay positive and keep up the hard work!
Way to go yesterday! You did an awesome job! I can’t believe how far we’ve all come. I had a little extra spring in my step yesterday knowing that I did 13.1 miles!
It was great walking with you too! Sorry the phone kept going off. I had to get to the jobs that kept coming in. There was wide spread water damage. I always enjoy talking to you. I did end up with 2 large blisters and sore from my neck to my toes. It was hard work catching up to you guys… It was all worth it for the work out, chatting with you guys, and of course giving my little girl the longest shoulder ride of my life.
Dan, You are the man….I am so very proud of you for staying the course and finishing that 13.1 mile prayer walk…..you are such a teddy bear….thanks for the encouragement you give me and for enjoying a healthy breakfast with me from time to time….keep up the great work.

Dan, You had such a great weigh in. It is so good to see you working so hard and seeing the results. Thought i would share a couple of quotes with you.
“If you think you can or you think you can’t….your right.” Henry Ford
“We are as happy as we make up our minds to be.” Abraham Lincoln
Dan,
Thank you for the late night phone call after the show. I really thought that was nice and I was glad to hear that you like the show. You are a great person and we are all lucky to be your friends. Throughout this contest you have grown so much, both physically and emotionally. Your confidence is growing expontetially. You are my inspiration and you are great. Keep up the good work and stay focused. This is only the beginning for us.
Holly
I had a BLAST working out next to you today in Amber’s class. I just LOVE your smile. You make me feel so good about everything, althought I was having a hard time keeping up with you today…
I really hope that we remain friends long after this contest ends. I think we could be lifelong friends:)
Dan-
You have definitely proven yourself as a hard worker. You never give up even when it is difficult you keep going. That helps me stay focused, so thank you!
THanks so much for coming out and doing the walk with me today…I always feel better when I see your smiling face…My think you are pretty “cool” (in their words) I coudn’t agree more…
Have fun on your car project and I will see you Monday…
Dan,
I am just amazed by you!! When I found out you gave up a trip to Hawaii to be a part of this competition, it just further demonstrated where your heart lies in this program. You are amazing!! Keep pushing hard, you are doing great.
You’re doing an awesome job. I hope you have a Happy Father’s Day! Your kids and grandkids should be super proud of all you’re doing to get to spend more time with them. Keep up the hard work!
Dan,
I know that this week is going to be a great week for you! You deserve all the happiness in the world. It really made me sad to see you upset last Monday. Stay positive and the weight will come off!
Holly
Hey there littler big guy! You are doing so awesome!! It’s fun talking with you in the mornings, I’m so amazed at how well you are doing and how strong you are! Keep it up!!

It is inspiring to walk with you each morning and I especially enjoy your marital advice. Maybe I am no such an easy person to live with after all??
Dan you have come such a long way. You have a great attitude and work ethic and that will get you to your weight loss goal.
Keep on going Dan you are doing wonderful! I can just see you now running accross that finish line. You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to!!!
