Here's one (a Bud Lite) for you!!

Now I understand why you had all those food coupons leftover that you left for me at GC that time. Thanks, again. And, KEEP IF OFF!

This is wonderul inspiration. And I really appreciate it your sharing it. My wife and I are aiming at Feb.8 to start losing a good deal of weight. As usual, I will make a chart and we will go on South Beach, which is a very good way to lose. But keeping it off is the problem. This will be my third time going through this. The first two times, I lost more than 30 lbs., getting down to 180. This time, that goal is 40 pounds away. It also took me three tries to stop smoking. I think your 80-20 rule is a magnificent way to keep weight off and will try it.

Again, thanks!

You can do it!

The left over GC are because i am blessed to be getting comps now!

I will tell you a secret and it blows people's minds!

I eat three buffet's a day in Vegas and it is so I can eat healthier options. I eat at GC Orleans LVH Planet Hollywood and Bellagio....breakfast lunch and dinner but I go with egg whites fruits oatmeal turkey chicken veggies and then cookies napoleans etc.

You all can do it just find something you can live with and enjoy and it becomes fun!

You all are great friends!

Fabulous, Tom! Your 80/20 rule is a really good idea - trying to completely cut out foods that you like but aren't so good for you is too difficult to maintain. You look great.
