Listening to you and my son, Bryson Coles, and laughing a lot but taking it seriously; he’s put me on the 30 day too… So, about me, age 73, about 20 lbs overweight; won the women’s division of the Dartmouth Marathon with a 3:21 and best marathon time 3:14; ran two Bostons officially. Two new knees, walk and swim some; non-drinker and needing to lose the 20. HELP. and Thanks!!
Good show! Love the accountability factor. Shows true commitment.
