He is a determined and will succeed in all he wants to accomplish! congratulations Lucas!

  2. Always great to see people take control of their lives and move forward positively! Hes done an amazing job and prayerfully will reach his goals.

  3. By losing 200 lbs, Lucas is working hard to get healthy. Covid has made things more difficult; I Don’t go to the gym anymore. However, I walk in my apartment. I mostly, buy healthy foods, that way I have to stick to my diet. No more fast food, ‘limited soda. Lucas is doing great. I wish him much success in his weight loss goal.

    1. People who are over weigh should never lose their dignity. God gives you strength daily to do what needs to be done all you have to do is do it. I understand a person of weight has problems and issues, but it is nothing to be advertised as if calling for sympathy. Try to have sympathy with yourself if anything and lose the weight at least some of it then the sympathetic part of your journey leaves you and you will go forth in a better spirit, your body is your church worship it
