A success story to inspire you!!!

Tonight I am sharing a story of inspiration with all of you.  One the owners at Amber Pharmacy started this program below on February 17th (Ash Wednesday).  It actually tied in well with the Lenten season.  Weight loss so far is 35 lbs.  His goal is 60 lbs.  Please see below his program that he is following.  I am also posting a picture of one of his meals.

Congratulations, Tim!!  Keep up the great work.  Thank you for allowing me to share your story.
