From Chris

There are so many people who have helped and inspired me along my journey that I would like to thank. I’d like to begin with many of my teachers: To Miss Ellis, my sixth-grade teacher, who told me that I could be whoever I wanted to be. To a few of my college professors—Dr. Louis Junker, who opened my eyes to a world of better health, and to Dr. Kwok Ho, who pulled me into the prevention arena.

To my dad, who taught me how to laugh and listen, and to my mother, who taught me to be kind—thank you for all your love and support.

To our faithful On Target Living clients, readers, and followers, whose phone calls, letters, e-mails, and testimonials drive me to learn and grow every day—thank you!

To our wonderful team at On Target Living—Dawn, Mark, Kristen, Tab, Barry, Matt, Lisa, Patrick, and Anthony—you are changing lives.

To the friends and family who have supported me from the beginning—thank you!

To my two biggest cheerleaders, Dawn Miller and my daughter, Kristen—thank you for the positive sunshine you bring to me and the rest of our world each day; you are a gift.

To my son, Matt, who drove this project from the beginning—you have grown into a great leader, but more importantly, a terrific father and friend.

To my little girl, Dolly—your love changed me.

Finally, to the rock in my world, my wife, Paula—thank you for all your love and support; our journey together keeps getting better!

• Don Underwood, my college golf coach—we did not always see eye to eye, but your positive impact will always be remembered. You always believed in me, when at times it would have been easier to give up. Thanks, Don!
• All my friends, family, mentors, and coworkers who have always supported me, especially my biggest cheerleader, my twin sister Kristen. My amazing mother, Paula Johnson, you gave me the work ethic and tenacity to get things done! My mentor, boss, co-author, and best friend, Chris Johnson, you have always been my role model and I am lucky to work with you everyday.
