"A Little Breathing Room"

On October 16, 2006 I received fantastic news! My CT scan of my kidney's showed no change, from those taken in April, 06'. My Urologist said to keep-up w/ the drinking of copious amt.'s of H2o & eat a lot of citrus fruits; which is a no brainier for me given, I love oranges & grapefruit.

But the most exciting news for me was my dramatic weight loss. When I moved to Portland in March of 2004, I tipped the scales at 252 lbs. When they weighed me last week, the scale read 166 lbs. The last time I weighed under 200 lbs. I was in grade school. At 6'4" & 166 lbs., my goal is to loss an additional 15-20 lbs.

I'm certain now I'll be able to finish my book by Christmas. Wish me luck!.......Mark
