A Real-Life Weight-Loss Success Story - Our 15-Year-Old Son

Our youngest son, Tony (15), has a real-life weight-loss success story to share and, with his permission I am sharing it here with you all.


Over the past few months Tony has been making a conscious effort to lose weight and get in shape. He hasn't had a drop of pop since the 13th of December, and is really watching his fat and sugar intake. He walks an average of 3 miles, and does 15 to 50 repetitions of various cardio-workout exercises, per day. To date
he has lost 48 pounds and has gone from a size 38 down to a 32. He's got 22 pounds to go before hitting his goal weight.

He has truly become an inspiration to me and now he is encouraging me in battle to lose weight!

RESHAPING IT ALL 65-Day Challenge

As most of you know, I recently gave away a copy of Candace Cameron Bure's (along with Canadian co-author, Darlene Schact's) new book Reshaping It All. It's a book that I've read almost all the way through (and I say almost because I was almost done with it when the challenge started, so now I am starting all over again...and that's okay) because I have really enjoyed it. 

Reshaping It All is not a typical diet book at all. Instead of offering fad diets and/or a big list of diet dos and don'ts, Candace and Darlene have succeeded in taking our perspective on food back to it's roots where it belongs...into the realm of the spiritual. Everything in this book just keeps taking you back to God and the value that He places on your life...back to Jesus and what His blood paid for on your behalf. It really is a good book and I highly recommend it to anyone who is serious about getting their physical, as well as their spiritual, life in order or back on track.

And, on top of everything else (this is the proverbial icing on the cake), Candace and Darlene have partnered together again to bring us a '65-day Reshaping It All Challenge' to help jumpstart our success! We're in day 5 of the challenge, but it's not too late to join. To find out more click HERE.

Have a beautiful and blessed day,
