Congrats. Prayer works wonders! I grew up Baptist, but have visited many other Christian faiths. When I was 12 the dr's told me (at Christmas) that I had cancer and what had been removed would not be all, they had to go back and do exploritory to 'find the rest' Many many friends and family of many different faiths prayed and lit candles for me. Nothing else was ever found, I am 25 now.

Thank you for sharing that! People who don't believe miss a lot, don't they? I'm not Catholic but I could feel your joy. Keep your eyes forward and your faith.

That is just so awesome and wonderful. I understand being able to do things most people take for granted, and it is just like getting the lottery. Congratulations.

I just had to bump this. Congrats Lloyd! Truly inspiring. God is so good. He is the healer and comforter.
To anyone reading: God created the first social network: Heaven. He has sent you an open ended "friend request." Will you accept?

WOW, did I get a shocker this Sunday, of all places, at church............Ok, for the first time, in about 4 years ,I was able to kneel on the kneeler at church.....Im Catholic, and they kneel during certain parts of the Mass.....

I had pulled the kneeler down, for the elderly lady next to me, and after about 4 minutes, it hit me..........

I HAD UNCONSCIOUSLY KNEELED WITH HER, ..........lol, too funnny

It hit me like a ton of bricks. I thought, "Il be damned, I can kneel" It was impossible for a 341 lb man to kneel in the past, and I just did this unconsciously with NO PROBLEM what soever..................totally cool I ve not kneeled for at least 5 years, I just was too fat to kneel and not be able to fit between the pew I was sitting at, and the back of the one in front of me....................wow, totally a mind blower..........

See guys, we can do it........thanks for all the support. Most people would think we were crazy for writing about this, but for us, the people who have been there, we dont take it for granted......... I felt like I hit the lottery.....

Thanks for the support, and lets keep each others back..................Lloyd

WTG Lloyd, excellent stuff!

That is awesome. I've seen women cry when they can cross their legs again. Uh, you didn't cry right?! J/K

How much weight have you lost?

love it!! I'm not Catholic, but also a Christian (Foursquare - think somewhat Pentecostal/Charismatic), we just kneel on the ground. anyway, I was kneeling at the alter this morning for what seemed like a really long time praying. but, yeah, I could kneel!! I got up and it didn't hurt! God IS so good!
