    You've got this! Know going in that the journey will include bumps along the way. Losing weight is anything but exactly linear. No matter what happens, NEVER GIVE UP! If you have a bad day, reset and go back and kick it's butt afterwards. You've got this brother. I sent you a FR. I'm excited to follow your progress.

    Wow, bless you & your little boy. If that's not motivation for someone to lose weight then I don't know what is. I would love to be your friend on here and help in any way I can.. o:)

    Dont think you would need any more motivation than this. If you need to lose 80lb, then its unrealistic to expect yourself to get anywhere near that in a few months, so bear that in mind, lest you disappoint yourself. If you are really going to go for very heavy weight loss, then be sure to keep it safe and do it in co ordination with your Dr, so they can check you do it safely. Best wishes and im sure everyone here is both moved by your story and rooting for you. Be sure to get a big circle of mfp friends and ask when you arent sure.

    You have never had a greater motivation to lose weight than this! You WILL succeed!
    Stay at a calorie deficit each day and try to be patient. Do NOT try to lose too fast because it will weaken you physically and that will not help your child if you are too weak to have the surgery.
    I WILL pray for you baby and for you to lose the weight needed to be his donor!

    There is a girl on you tube, miss pink... Something like that, who lost 20/month doing elliptical everyday for long periods of time. Her dad is a doctor, she's healthy & it all came off quickly. God bless you, your son and your family. I am praying for you all.

    Best wishes to both you and your son! As a father, I can't imagine the emotional turmoil you're going through even though my twins did start life off in the NICU as preemies.

    Wishing you all the best for you and your family. I don't think I've heard a better reason to lose weight and get into shape. Good luck.

    Wow! You can do this! I would love to friend you and send encouragements and follow your progress. Here's a tip: protein drinks. I use premier protein shakes (can get them at Costco). They fill you up, and are good for you. I drank 4 a day, and had one small meal at dinner time of a lean meat (mostly fish) and a small salad or veggie. I lost almost 27lbs in a month. Also be sure to take good vitamins!
