    You've lost 200 effing pounds! That's amazing. You're not housebound anymore. Also amazing. You've come this far- nothing can stop you getting where you want to be. You've already lost 200lbs. It's just the same again. Eat well, move more, and you'll get there. You're inspirational.

    You make it sound like the surgery was a bad thing! If it helped you to get to where you could start doing these things by yourself, it's not the enemy! It's just another stepping stone in your journey of awesomeness. =)

    It's not, I'd have been dead by now without it. I suggest it to people all the time actually (though holy crap, don't get it done open, get it done laproscopically) But there's a big stigma with it, that it's the easy way out, not true at all. I dieted, but I was fundamentally lazy. I didn't push myself. I just figured the knife did the work and I could sit home and not eat as much and lose all this weight. So not true.

    Fantastic job!! You should be very proud of yourself. Do not sell yourself short. Every day, say to yourself that you can do it, because you know you can, because you've done it before. Soon you will be fighting to keep the ladies away.

    I'm a nurse and have taken care of many patients with the same procedure you have had. There is no shame in it! I commend you for all the weight you have lost and your desire to change your life. Often people think that surgery is a cure-all and will fix anything, I'm glad to see you making the effort too! Congratulations on all your success so far, and I hope you continue toward your goal..your an inspiration to people everywhere!

    I am incredibly proud of you. I don;t know you but I know how hard it is to lose weight. You are taking your life back, To me that is incredible. Today 2.5 miles tommorow 3. Who knows maybe in a few months running a full mile. You should be incredibly proud of yourself!!

    You're not the enemy. As it says on my profile, I don't buy into the received wisdoms about weight loss. I have a pragmatic approach to this venture.

    Whatever works. Whatever motivates you best. Just keep on keeping on.

    And bloody well done for your progress so far!
