Phil, I read this yesterday,and I thought I would try to reply to it today.

I'm praying for you that your back gets better immediately, and the 
physical therapy helps it a lot. I find it very hard to be motivated 
to exercise, that is why I still way over 200 pounds, unfortunately.

Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
