After The First 55

Yesterday we got to have a visit from a great band called "Mike's Chair". I'm trying to get them to come back this summer to put on a show, but we'll have to wait to find out if we can make it happen. They're a bunch of great guys with awesome hearts for ministry and a desire to help people! As we usually do, we all gather for a picture so here's the one Tim Taylor and I posed for... I also thought it'd be a cool shot to show you as this is what it looks like after I lost 55 pounds!

We're having a get together at my health coaches house tomorrow night (Thursday May 28th) at 7pm. I'd LOVE to have you join us if you're ready to join me in the journey of health or simply want to know more about what I'm doing to lose all this weight! If you decide to join, Lisa and Jaime will also give you a free book about the habits of health. Its a great book with valuable information to help you get on the road to being healthy and STAYING healthy for the rest of your life, and isn't that what we all really want anyway? So CALL ME at 503-652-8104 or email me at dave@1041thefish.com and I'll get you directions. It's always a fun night with TONS of encouragement from others who have been released from burden of medications, oxygen, insulin, and so much more. One gal who was there the other night shared about how she was able to get off 13 different medications, a c-pap machine, and oxygen! WOW! Her son had to take 5 shots of insulin a day and no longer has to! I can only imagine how much they're saving, not having to be on so much medications and regular doctor visits! I hope you can join us... but if not, feel free to call/email me with questions or go directly to my health coaches! Their number is 503-590-1111

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!

What a great way to start out the weekend! I stepped on the scale and my eyes about popped out! ANOTHER THREE POUNDS GONE! That brings my total to 55 pounds with the help of 4Generations4Health!
Thanks to those who have already called and written to me for more info and for those who've already joined the journey... How about you? Are you thinking this is too good to be true? When I first looked at this program I had similar questions, but after taking a CLOSE LOOK and meeting with and talking to other people who had done this AND KEPT THE WEIGHT OFF FOR YEARS, I knew I needed to jump on! I'm so thankful I did.
My wife, Shauna, called a little while ago to let me know we're invited to a BBQ next door tonight, and I'm excited that I know how and what to eat to keep this weight loss on track.
What are YOU weighting for? Join me... feel free to email or call me anytime!

Lisa... My Health Coach!

WOW!
That's my health coach, Lisa Castro! Doesn't she look GREAT? We all have our stories and everyone who has lost weight and those (like me) who are in the midst of losing weight have stories of their own. The struggles, the desires in life, how to overcome, the goals, and how they achieved success in living a healthier life... How about you? How do you want your story to end? Maybe Lisa and her husband Jaime can help YOU like they've helped ME! Keep scrolling down through the blog to learn more, to see more pictures, and links to 4Generations4Health!
As of today I'm down 52 pounds since I started this fantastic journey to health in mid March!
Join me on this journey! Email me at dave@1041thefish.com or call me directly at 503-652-8104 I'd love for you to see how easy this can be!

My Weight Loss Journey...

Okay, so maybe you have a similar story to mine... I've struggled with my weight MOST of my life, except in high school when my metabolism was screamin! I've done "diets" in the past with a little success but never got down to where I really wanted to be. So earlier this year I started researching new ways to lose the weight... all of it... and keep it off. That's when I found the Castro family! Now they're my personal certified health coaches and guiding me and encouraging me towards my goal by teaching me the Habits of Health! Today marks EIGHT WEEKS since they began working with me and I'm THRILLED to report that I'm down 44 pounds! Yeah, thats no misprint! 44 pounds!

Take a look at this pic... this was shot just before Christmas. We were outside with a bunch of neighbors on December 23rd with a fire in the street making s'mores. Its a little hard to see but thats me in the background looking down at my camera. This picture really shocked me to see how far my gut was stickin' out there these days and I realized I really needed to do something

Here's another pic of me bummin' around the Fish offices... yeah, it makes you wonder what we were doing and talking about, but its easy to see I needed to lose it and lose it quick!

So fast forward now to where I am now... this was shot after losing 25 pounds!


Here I am after losing 37 pounds!

I need to get a new pic shot... hopefully today. Um, I also need new pants! LOL! I've hung on to lots of nice shirts over the years and I'm having a blast fitting in to them again!

Okay, do you want to JOIN ME on this journey? Are you serious? Are you ready to be committed to it? Then don't wait! Contact my personal health coaches Lisa & Jaime Castro at 4Gerations4Health! Their number is 503-590-1111 and their website is www.4generations4health.com And if you ever want to talk to me about it, you can always feel free to contact me with questions about my journey at dave@1041thefish.com!
