On his Facebook wall, Councilman Mike Kennedy posts: "This week is the one year anniversary from my getting a little serious about my health. 63 plus pounds later, I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks to all those who have encouraged me on this little journey -- and there have been many of you!" The post attracted many comments including one by me: "Are you getting in fighting trim for a rematch with Jim Brannon next year?"

Question: Does Mike's story encourage you to pursue healthier lifestyle?
