Strokin to the left, strokin to the right, strokin back and forth until my legs get real tight. Thats right boys and girls, I’ve discovered a new passion. SWIMMING........ yay for swimming! You get your cardio and dont sweat! My ankles dont even hurt (everything else does though). My family joined the New Tampa YMCA this week and horray! Swimming, basketball,volleyball,spinning classes,even Judo on Saturday mornings Hiiiiyaa! And swimming!
Life is good. Praise God!
Were comimg to the end of this challenge and I really want to go out with a loud bang. So strict diet, pounding workouts, and jon will love this....playing some serious drums. Sweating off the pounds never sounded so funky and fresh!
I’m down 34 pounds as I write this blog. I didnt think I could go this far but Gods plan is greater than any of our own! What a wonderful headstart to reaching my goal of 120 lbs by Christmas. I think of it as a christmas present to not only my family, but to God Himself who heard that tearful prayer I offered Him in January and answered it by way of this challenge. A big thank you to Marty S. and the team at tbo for allowing me to participate. May God bless you all for your support. I thank Him daily for you all. Gotta go now, The pool opens at 6am for more swimming! Yay swimming! In Christ..Marty G.

It’s LMT Marty!
After meeting you- down 34 lbs and THEN seeing your “before” pic I’m not sure I would have been able to pick you out of a crowd. That’s how much difference this has made in your appearance. I hope it’s made an equal difference in your attitude (although you seem to have a great attitude anyway)AND your ability to do everything you like to do.

Yo! With all that strokin goin on, you must be at least another 25 pounds lighter. You go, dude. Proud of your endurance. Keep your eyes on the goal - and your thoughts on the Lord. He will carry you over the finish line. Phil

Great Job Marty!
Swimming is sooo good for you. I’m glad you found a workout routine that you enjoy. That is MORE than half the battle for most people...the rest is dedication and I already know you have that in you. You’re doing a phenomenol job for yourself and everyone around you will prosper because of it!
Again...grats my brotha…

What a beautiful blog, giving praise where it belongs.I knew you would do great this time because HE heard your prayer in January. I need to get serious also and ask HIM to help me since I ate all the chocolate kisses you all gave me for Mother’s Day. I set a record I ate all of them but it took me two nights. NO WEIGHT WATCHERS FOR ME THIS WEEK!!!!!!!
