Aloha Guys!

Postby MTeehan » Sat May 14, 2011 6:56 am

I wanted to post this here because I'm on cloud nine today and I began the trip right here! Some of you guys remember me from 2 1/2 years ago. It was on these boards where I received the lift I needed when I hit a bump. The PMs that came in daily quite literally kept me going. And the truth is that MANY have had equal and greater succes (I just have a bigger mouth, Just can't shut me up) Seriously, VSH put the video online and I wanted to share it here because this board is where it began. Many reached their goal before I did and many will come after. Just one word: TRUST Dr. John and his program! (see! I don't understand the concept of 'just ONE word')

Sorry about the nervousness.
See how Dr. McDougall's Plan saved my life and gave me an optimistic outlook on my future here:

Thank you so much for talking about added oils. I really struggle and it was nice to hear it from someone else.

I just finished watching the video. Thanks so much. It really encourages me to see people succeed - or I should say Succeed with a capital "S."

I'm gonna try Pam's Potato Wedges this week!

Mike, just wanted to say thank you for having the courage to speak about your success. The weight graph were you showed the dramatic loss after eliminating oil/fat was an eye opener indeed.

I also wanted to say that I am sorry to hear about the loss of love of your life, I had a hard time watching that section without getting choked up. It is obvious how much that dog meant to you.

Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration indeed.
