My wife, she just, every night she comes home, that's what she wants to do, give me a hug. It's the same thing. We danced in the kitchen for the first time in twenty years.

I lost 93 pounds on Herbal Magic. It took me eleven months to do that, that's two pounds a week. I went from a 48, almost 50-I would not go to a 50-that's when I started to realize. 48 waist to a 34 waist. I lost 81 inches over my body. Diabetic, borderline, four years ago. Doctor told me, "It's up to you." I had everything ready to burst open on me. And my doctor actually said, "You should be 187 pounds." And I said, "Give your head a shake. I will never be 187 pounds."

Finally, my wife was bugging me, bugging me, she wanted to send me to another program, we'd been to a couple other programs. I decided I wanted to go to Herbal Magic. It just seemed the right thing to do. It fit into my lifestyle, it fit into my lunch hour, it fit into everything. And then it became a matter of ego. When people would say to me, "You look great," I knew I had another sixty pounds to go. If you like me now, just wait 'til next month.

It has changed my life. It's changed my life more than anyone would know. It just, it's made me a new man.

My favorite word in the past was "later." "Honey, can you do this?" "Later." Now it's, "Go, go, go, go, go."

My sons are quite good golfers, and I, you know, they were always, "Okay, Dad, we can go find that ball, we can go find that ball." And I live on a championship golf course. So I was embarrassed. I was always dropping balls. Of course, that's two strokes. And this year I go out and play with them on Father's Day, and I can stand over the ball, and I can hit that ball straight down the fairway, because I can see the ball.

It just, wow. They complimented me. They said, "Dad…" And I beat one of them, you know, for the first time in my life. So I was pretty proud of that.
