WHOA!
This is really inspirational!
Congrats! I don't seem to have to resilience to keep up with it, i get discouraged easily ):
If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take to get to whatever your current weight is?

Wow, what an inspiration you are. I long for the days that people can see in my face that I've lost a significant amount of weight--you look like a different person! I've lost almost 20 lbs and no one can tell! I guess that's the problem with being 100 lbs overweight. I look at the difference in your before and after pics and I am extra motivated--thanks for sharing!:happy:

You guys... seriously... I want to package you all up and store you in my pocket for the bad days! THANK YOU!

Just a few other changes (motivation for those who are just starting):

- Type 2 diabetic since I was 16... originally on 2 kinds of insulin (4 shots a day) AND 4 different diabetes pills... now, I am down to half of a pill (and that's just for cautionary purposes... I don't actually need it).

- My blood pressure went from 200-plus over 110-plus to 120/60.

- I can tie my shoes while sitting in a chair now... couldn't get past my stomach before... for that matter, I can touch my feet, clip my toenails, wash my feet, etc., easily.

- I had sleep apnea and wore a big ole CPAP machine every night for a few years. Don't need it now... it's been collecting dust in the garage.

- I can wear a freaking seatbelt again without a seatbelt extender. Haven't been able to do that for YEARS! Can fit in a booth at a restaurant.

- I can go shopping, etc., without wanting to die in the first 5 minutes from huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf.

Focussing on the small things is a good way to stay motivated. Keep in tune with your body and ... it will be telling you THANK YOU!!!

Persistence... not perfection!

If you can't tell the difference in your face, I certainly can... I can't even tell you how inspired this has made me to get started and lose 70-100 lbs myself. Keep up the absolutely INCREDIBLE work!!! You deserve a lot of credit for sticking with it!!! :drinker:
