Read this young man's story. The way he wrote it, and how he did it is just so inspirational. Cool Running posted this on Facebook so hopefully you'll be able to follow the link, but I really like the way this guy lays it all out for you, how he did it and what it took. So I thought I'd share.

    I particularly liked this quote

    "All it takes is the actual desire to want to change your life."

    And I really like how he figured out that exercise and a better diet made him happier.

    You're welcome!!! I really liked that he did his transformation without a special diet regimen. Like he said, we all know what to do, it's just doing it that's hard. :wink:

    I especially liked the part about picking oneself back up after having a bad day, because we've all been there, done that.

    Just nice to read about someone who decided to change his life for the better.
