December 2008 I was given a challenge by a friend of mine who is also a donor of Voice of Hope. The challenge was that if I lost 40 pounds by June 2009 the donor would donate $100,000 to Voice of Hope. Well, i lost the 40 and we recieved the $100,000. Prasie the Lord. The problem was that shortly thereafter i regained the 40 pounds back. I went from 357 lbs. to 317 lbs. backl to 357 lbs. and now I am 330.6 lbs.

Today the First Lady of the United States of America annouced the nations commitment to fight childhood obesity. Well today I announce as well my commitment to childhood obesity. My commitent is to lead by example. It is my desire to share on a consistent basis my journey of weigh loss. My goal is to get to 225 lbs. The last time i weight that amount i was 21 years old. Many moons ago.

So please stay tuned for updates and pray requests as i embark on this fantastic voyage.
