#3 I just read and agree with your tips. #7 is great as well. I kept it from mine for about a week then she found out on her own.

Thanks for all your posts in 2008 you are an inspiration to everyone struggling with their weight.

Thanks Steve. She found out within a week? She must be quiet the sleuth!

"…Clutter…" is one of my favorites- and the Oreos one. Oh, and the one about… Hey, I gleaned something from all of them. Thanks for the inspiration, John, and best wishes for the coming year.

Thanks Steve, I appreciate it. But as far as inspiration goes? People need to be checking you out for that…

Thanks for taking the time to write this year John. The inspiration from you as well as the comments from us help to make it a unique group that all get healthy together. Not a bad way to go.

Thanks Tom – and great point, we are a team.

Post #7

The letter to your wife, Amy, that was pretty cool. What did she say after reading the post?

Well she knows I blog so it wasn't much of a surprise I don't think.

This is a great post idea. Every post on the list was a good one so I can't pick a favorite. Hope you had a Merry Christmas!

Sure did, thanks. Looking forward to a great New Year too.

VERY COOL IDEA FOR A POST!

off to read the ones I missed along the way…

Thanks! I'm hoping I see similar ones from my semi-regular reads – great way to catch up I think.

John,

What a great retrospective of your year. I'm so glad I discovered your blog! I loved your "outing" blog to your wife.

I hope 2009 brings you much good fortune, love and goodness.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks Angie – I wish the same for you and yours.

I really appreciate this list. I'm relatively new to your blog, so this is a good way for me to get a feel for your writing. Thanks!

Glad you like it – yes, this is good intro for new readers, my challenge is keeping it up for 2009!

I agree, the running post is inspiring. But I love all of these posts!

Thanks Merry. "Merry" Christmas and Happy New Years to you!

My favorite is your weight loss blog post. Blogging has become a challenge, a frustration, and a love all at the same time, for many of the reasons you stated.

But, in that vain, I've started a new blog about a completely different subject matter. When you have time, please take a look, especially if you crave a view of the beach during the winter.

Happy Holidays to you and family, John.

Thanks Lisa – great pictures on your new blog!

My favorite was the Oreo post. It resonates with me, pre-weight loss.

Thanks.

We keep the Oreos out in the open now and lately I've been pretty good about staying away from them.

My favourite was definitely the running post. You inspired me mightily and helped me keep up my running. I couldn't run a mile back then and now I've run about 900 of them! Thanks John.

That's just awesome Andrew – I've got to find a way to get myself inspired again in the same way.
