Ben is my HERO!

My brother-in-law Ben has been an inspiration to me as of late. He decided to make a change in his life. He said that 315 pounds was too much. He started to change his eating habits and get a little exercise. He's been at it now for just over 30 days. He weighed in at 280 pounds. This is awesome progress so far. Ben is my hero! He is not follow the program specifically, and I am so impressed with his dedication. This is the type of dedication that I need to have. I need to get my butt in gear and make these changes. I now have a silent personal challenge that I have been double dared to do. I can't let Ben beat me. I need this motivation, whether it is official or in the shadows it is a challenge and I need to step up to it. I have my work cut out for me, because he already is ahead of me by 35 pounds.
