I just want to say I love you. You didn't make anything an excuse to stop working hard and for that I give you a standing ovation. I myself am 20 and weighed 235 when I started Mfp and I weigh 222 now and i wanted to give upwr but your story has really inspired me. Good luck on your next goal and thank you.

Half the man is awesome!!

You must be so proud. But, I know there's a lot of head games
still going on when you lose a lot of weight. As you know it's a
whole new life. But, isn't it an amazing life? You can enjoy so
much more of it. I'm soooo happy for you!!!

God bless you for sharing!!!

another reason to love mfp:)

im going to show this to my sister bec she is also in the same boat that you were in , a shut in, depressed,abt the same weight you were when you started and has not left her room/home in abt 23 plus years, she is a candidate for wl surgery but has recently deceided not to go thr with it, she had her "ah hah" moment (about 3mos. ago) and has begun to "move her body" on her own as best she can, she still needs assistance walking and uses oxygen daily but she's doing it, i have been telling her for years, you have got to get out of this room,start eating healthy,excercising and begin living a life that you deserve.

thr a lot of soul searching and tears she has begun her journey, to leave her room she can now get to the living room daily,the kitchen and around her home more than ever before,shes taking it literally step by step, i thank god that she does not have life threating issues like some morbidly obese people have and she is not even 50 yrs old yet, still im so excieted for her and she tells me abt the excercises she CAN DO with the help and support of her aid everyday she "works out" 15min but now she can do 20min and is loosing inches that i notice in her face and clothes.

so since were buddies so im going to print this out for her and we are going to put it on the fridge so she can "walk to it" and get even more inspired that yes he did this on his own with no surgery and she can do it too.

thank you so much for your story we truly appreciate it.

LOL my sis & me.

God bless you and your Sister and let her know that it is possible. I remember when I started, I would kick my computer chair in front of me(in case I needed to sit down) while I walked from the living room to the kitchen slider door and then having to sit down because I was winded and couldn't make it back out to the living room without resting. I added alittle distance everyday (baby steps) and over time I was able to do more and more. I also remember the first time I attempted to walk outside. I had worked up the nerve to walk to the culvert (which is about 100 ft. from the front door.) I remember getting to the culvert and turning around and having a complete panic attack. I didn't think I could make it back. I couldn't sit down cause back then I could never get back up off the ground without something to grab onto to pull myself up. I winced and choked and cried but made it back to the front door. I was so elated of my accomplishment... (Baby steps) 28 months later with braces and 281 less lbs, on my body I am sitting here with Ice wraps on my knee's after just finishing up my 2nd round of exercise at the YMCA. All by taking those first baby steps, You just have to want it for yourself, believe in yourself, and tell yourself that you are worth it!!
