| Dear Dr. McDougall, During this time of year when we focus on those things we are thankful for, you, Mary, and your team are at the top of my list. I attended the 12-Day McDougall Program in October 2020. I have lost fifty pounds the first year and look forward to losing the next fifty this coming year. It will happen! Here is a picture of me this summer on an island in the middle of Seneca Lake, New York. My hands are raised as I exclaim, “Thank you Dr. McDougall!”. My husband and I love to kayak. Unfortunately by the time I attended your program I had gained so much weight I could not get out of my kayak without assistance. The last time I had kayaked before attending the 12-Day, I got stuck in a shallow and was alone. I was unable to get out of my kayak and was “digging clams” forever to get out! I was mortified. On this trip to Saranac Lake, I got in and out of my kayak without assistance. What a delight!
