We’ve also posted a new “Best Of” survey and need your help compiling a list of DFW’s best coffee shops. Read on to learn how to keep your weight loss resolution this year, how one man’s cancer diagnosis sparked a major lifestyle change, and more!

 
Top Stories of the Week
 

1. Cancer Survivor Loses Weight and Gains Healthy Lifestyle

When Jimmy Blunt was diagnosed with cancer, his only option was to fight back. After completing chemotherapy, he chose to fight back against another health issue in his life — his weight. Weighing more than 300 lbs., Jimmy decided to make a change, signing up for McKinney’s Fight Back 5K. He shed a phenomenal amount of weight and is now using events like Relay for Life and Fight Back 5K as a way to spread cancer awareness and maintain his healthy lifestyle.
