Inspiration... 100 Pounds at a Time

We met a man today who makes losing a few pounds look like no big deal.

Don Houseman was 721 pounds.

He had to be rolled into bed. He had a desk in a warehouse because he couldn't make it up the stairs to his office. He had to go to a truck stop to find a scale big enough to weigh himself.

That was at the end of 2004.

Now, he weighs 342 pounds. That's about HALF the man he used to be.

And he's done it all by changing his eating habits. Exercise really wasn't an option; he could barely walk. Now, without all that weight, he can make it up the stairs, drive his own mini-van and go to the baseball games he loves. He's a new man. And he has a whole new outlook on life.

He's an inspiration to anyone who is trying to shed a few pounds.

His entire life has changed. It wasn't easy. But, with the help of some amazing, dedicated friends, he made it happen.

So can we.
