Hi. I have never posted a subject but felt I should share my story. The end of February I came home from work and my wife said I found this website and am going on this diet weather u want to do it with me or not. We had done things before and failed badly. Well I reluctantly agred to do it with her. We had each other for support and that was the best thing. Before I couldn't hardly work a day without knee and back pain. I have lost over 50 pounds from my heaviest weight and now run 4 to 5 times a week. All my pain is gone. I'm now two pounds over a normal weight range for the first time in my life. I look forward to getting up each morning now and feel so much better. I ran 3 5k races this year and am now training for a marathon. This website is the best and finding someone who will support u is the most important thing. Hopefully this helps motivate someone who reads it. You never know who life u might touch.
