Why am I doing this?

Well, if you have read my story, you may realize that I waited a very long time to start my weight loss journey.  In fact, I probably would still be struggling except for two things - my health care coverage required addressing it (low motivation, but some) and my wife began her Take Shape for Life odyssey.  After Kelly lost her first 40 pounds, I began to take this program a little more seriously.  Finally, after just trying the foods she didn't like, I placed my own order.  I have to tell you, the feeling of the quick drop of 10 pounds in the first week (results not typical), I was hooked.  Now, I feel less of an obligation to accomplish a weight and health change, but also the need to stay there once I get there.  I am getting used to the six small meals per day, versus the 14 slices of pizza at Pizza Inn.  I don't seem to miss it.
