Michael’s Progress – Month #2
The Scale - 11/10/09
On November 10th, Michael “weighed in” and was excited to report that he lost 4 pounds last month! He and his trainer are thrilled with his progress. “I’d like to see Michael lose 100 pounds over the next year,” stated personal trainer, Isabelle Wells, ” … it’s best to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.”
Since his quest for a healthier lifestyle began earlier this year, Michael has lost 63 pounds… 24 of which have been lost since the “LEAN on Me – Losin’ it for Luke” Campaign’s official kick-off on September 11th.

THANK YOU to EVERYONE supporting this cause through prayer, words of encouragement and monetary donations!
Michael is greatly motivated by the overwhelming response to his weight loss campaign. He loves receiving positive comments and emails from supporters - he gets excited about every new “pledge”!
And, the Luke Peters Family is SO VERY GRATEFUL for God’s abundant blessings, for Michael Bailey and for people like YOU.
For information about Luke’s condition, see the “About Luke” page or visit his CaringBridge site (Luke loves it when people sign into his CaringBridge “guestbook.”) His mother, Sue, updates the site regularly. This fall, she closed a post with these words: “With God, all things are possible! Be thankful for today, because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Live each day as if there is no tomorrow.”

Michael,
You surely are one amazing individual! All your heart-felt efforts to help raise funds for Luke is admirable… truly ADMIRABLE! I realize I don’t know you personally but you have already earned my utmost respect, even though I’m across the lake here in Michigan! My great friend, Anna, informed me of your weight loss journey; I want you to know I’m here if you need any extra motivation as I lost 162 pounds by walking, in a 16 month period AND I helped a man walk off 430 pounds!
