    Thank you my friend. I also started at about 480 and the goal is to drop about 250 or so. I have already lost over 130 so I got a long way yet to go. I know I will make it but your success shows it can be done and helps reinforce my determination. Your the Man.:drinker:

    This was very touching. I read your post before I scrolled down to the pictures and I could literally feel your dread. Dread at doing the simplest of things. And that really got to me. What an amazing accomplishment! It must have taken a lot of determination, awesome job!

    PS: There was totally a tiger hidden under those Big and Tall shirts. Just sayin'.

    Amazing and inspirational !!
    THIS is EXACTLY the reason I come to MFP. It really helps to read success stories when I'm tired, don't feel like working out, when I am irritated I didn't lose any weight this week, all the reasons why it would be so easy to just stop.

    Thanks for posting. It helps more than you could know !

    Maybe it's because I just listened to this talk on podcast yesterday, but your story literally moved me almost to tears. I'm a nurse and I can sympathize with the following, and I think you'll really enjoy it, OP-

    The title is a little off-putting, but the message is fantastic.

    Best wishes to you!
