Congrats to Beth and Rick

Rick,
Wow, 45 lbs is a great accomplishment in itself. I can relate to the knee issue. I still struggle with knee and back issues weekly. However, as the weight comes off the other things will continue to improve. Keep up the good work and do not stop at the end of the contest. I think we need to have a 24 week “Birmingham Losers” reunion get together. It will keep everyone motivated.
Beth,
25 lbs is also very impressive. I am very proud of you.
I think if we looked at the weight loss as a % of what you started you would have to be at or near the top.
The 4th was uneventful for me. BBQ was not even a temptation. However, the last week I have hit another plateau. I hope it kicks back in soon so I can finish strong and give everyone a run for their money.
I look forward to seeing the progress everyone has made tomorrow at FT Mtn Brook for the new commercial. See you there.
