Hi. I'm Ryan & this is my first post.
« on: August 08, 2011, 11:15:54 PM »
Hello everyone. My name is Ryan and I just joined this forum and this is my first post.  I really enjoyed reading Doug's book and learned a lot!!  I've battled the waistline for years. I'm 33 now and am ready for the first day of the rest of my life.  The book was written in such a clear and easily understandable manner that really, there are no excuses anymore.

I just took some measurements.  I'm 6'2" with a 46" waist.  My goal is to have a 32" waist and I'm going to make it happen.  Another goal of mine is to have my picture and  story posted with all of the others on your "success" page and I'm going to make it happen!!

Today is the first day of the rest of my life and I'm ready!!

Best wishes to all others who are making positive changes in their lives!!!  Peace!
Ryan

Welcome Ryan, I want you to know something my new friend, you can and you will reach your goal of a 32 inch waist. I know it almost sounds surreal  saying it let alone picturing yourself in those skinny jeans but trust me if you stick wit the program the weight will come off.
