Day 88: Chris

We will be doing our next weigh in on the first Monday of February. We haven't forgotten about you guys, it just been a really hectic last couple of months between holidays and travel. I can't speak for Mark, but I can tell you that I am still kicking and working hard.

On another note, check this article out.

Essentially, a 5 foot tall, 275 pound woman is unable to get an MRI from the hospital because of her size. She won't fit in the machine. Apparently the doctors recommend to her that she visit the local zoo and try to use on of their MRI machines. She is embarrassed and her husband is outraged and it paints the doctors to look like just terrible people.

I understand that overweight people are sensitive about their weight and size (believe me, ha) but is this really something to get mad about? Unless that doctors communicated this idea to her in a really insensitive and brash way, she should be thankful that they were at least trying to find a solution since they were unable to treat her with their equipment.

People are so easily offended! What do you think about this?

Day 76: Chris

Hey guys, I know it has been a while since either of us have checked in. Just wanted to let you know we are still here and still working on it. I have been on vacation and am getting ready to go away again for a ministry retreat. Once things settle we will get a weigh in up for ya and get things back to normal.

Thanks so much for the support!
